Our FIRST TIME in Canada’s Yukon! Alaska Cruise Tour: Dawson City to Whitehorse

Жыл бұрын

As part of an Alaska Cruise Tour with Holland America Line, you can choose to visit the Yukon also! HAL charters a plane with Air North for the summer season to and from Dawson City. So the guests on the cruise tour are only ones on the plane. It’s like taking a private plane… it seats 122 people and we only had 18 passengers! So everyone could spread out and take an entire row.
The Yukon is where everyone was trying to get during the gold rush and many towns were established for this reason. In this area is still where most of the gold in the world is found.
Dawson City is like a town frozen in time! The streets are unpaved and the buildings are all from the turn of the century! Such a cool place to visit!!
Diamond Tooth Gertie was not a famous person during the gold rush but she had a fantastic name! This is the oldest casino in Canada.
After leaving Dawson City, we had a scenic bus ride down to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon.
Interesting facts about the Yukon:
There are only about 40,000 people in this area that’s bigger than California!!
And yes, moose out number people here!

Such a bummer that you didn’t get to do anything in Whitehorse. It’s such a cute town! We spent Canada Day there in 2017 on our way back to the Lower 48. My teenagers who spent their preschool years in AK have really been enjoying this series. Mama gets all the feels reminiscing. ❤

Great video. It is a nice drive through British Columbia to the Yukon and then onto Alaska. You certainly should try to do it with your camper some time. We have a beautiful country you can explore (Canada!). Looking forward to the next portion of the cruise.

The last time I stayed at an old hotel with a literal key the place was haunted, so I’d probably appreciate sleeping in the not so dark. 😂 An ad for Listerine played in the middle of the toe portion of the video. Well played, KZfaq. As a former travel agent, I got to do a fam trip with the American Queen steamboat. So worth a try if you want to do a paddle boat.

I was born in Canada and I am a very proud Canuck but was raised and spent all my years here in New Zealand. This video has inspired me to think seriously about more travelling around Canada. You guys should definitely consider a trip down under to good old NZ (very different from Australia so don’t think if you have visited one you have visited both). The scenery is spectacular and RVing is a great way to see our little piece of paradise. There are also very good cruises around NZ. Kiwis are usually very hospitable people and I think you would really enjoy the experience albeit we know it’s a long and expensive journey getting here.

We went through here recently, and one of our tour members asked if we’d see the Northern Lights. I knew we wouldn’t, because it doesn’t get dark enough. If you want to see them, try a trip in September or even October if you there are trips through the Yukon. It’ll be chillier, but you might see them!

Holland America leases a 737 from Air North, which is Yukon's airline. And, a well loved one at that! A few other little bobbles, but in general, an excellent video. A taste of why some of us love living up here! 14 years here, and I still haven't done the toe! :)

On June 21, the longest day, there is a party on the Dome where people watch the sunset...then about 30min later watch it rise. Recognized one of the flight attendants even with the blur. Air North flies commercial flights from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Victoria and Kelowna...and winter charters for locals to Mexico. Just be careful if looking for the airline online, flyairnorth is Canada, airnorth is in Australia. Loved in Whitehorse for ten years, you just missed the River Quest in Dawson.

The Keno riverboat has been dry docked since 1951. Did you visit the Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre (First Nations museum) while in Dawson City or do any of the Parks Canada tours like the Robert Service or Jack London cabins? There was so much to see when we drove there in an RV on the Top of the World Highway last year. Highly recommend the got do it.

Did all the other people from the first part of the land tour not do the rest or do you book portions of the Alaska Cruise Tour? I'm guessing you can pick portions but asking to confirm. Thanks. Can I say, according to the "legend" only one toe was cut off. I love the folklore concept though. I'd do it, except if I do a whiskey shot, I'd need "bail money" because proper shots are meant to be done properly. Gotta follow my mama's rules. Straight up, down and no chaser. My "kids" are the same, hereditary? IDK. Spoiler alert = agreements US and Canada.

I'll tell you why Museums don't ""scoop"" up stuff like that. The smaller places are trying to hold on to all these historical artifacts because ALL the large Museums would just HOLD ALL these artifacts deep down in their storage areas and these things WOULD NEVER EVER see the light of day AGAIN!!!!!
