Shame that the state is letting all the ships get in such bad shape. Wonder what the towns that depend upon the ferries will do w/o them. DON Smaller charter boats run a few people & supplies, but no vehicles of course. Planes fly in supplies - but costs more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Alaska cruise from Vancouver was canceled, but I am still interested. I have some pricey RT plane tix to Vancouver. We've spent some pre- and post-cruise days in Vancouver. There are lots to see and do right in town and over in Victoria which is on Vancouver Island (can't remember if there's a bridge to the island and/or a ferry).

I am definitely thinking of spending some time in Vancouver, Victoria, and BC.🌝🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However what about the train in Skagway? Will the train be running or is that closed down as well? Thank you!! If you get to take the train, I strongly suggest you pay the extra bucks and do the luxury excursion. Very comfortable swiveling armchairs instead of wooden benches. Complimentary sandwiches and snacks. Alcoholic drinks included. Best of all, a dedicated tour guide. In the other cars, the tour guided is shared by all the cars. About twice the price but more than worth it. Of course, it might be prohibitive if you have several children along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth the trip and Victoria is one of the nicest places I have been too. Just had the feeling to me that it would be a great place to live.

There’s also a company that does the private train car one way and a comfortable van the other way which allows you see see a lot of wonderful things you don’t see on the great train ride.
