Klondike Gold Rush History Comes Alive on Alaska Cruisetours
With Holland America, your 2027 Alaska journey doesn’t stop at the shores. Step into the heart of Gold Rush country and trace the footsteps of the Klondike prospectors on the only cruise line bringing guests to Dawson City, Yukon. On all Holland America’s Alaska, Denali & Yukon cruisetours, you’ll get two nights to explore in Dawson City, plus a Klondike Gold Tour curated with The HISTORY Channel™.
Exclusive Overnight Stays in Historic Yukon
Holland America immerses you in an iconic part of North American history as you step off the ship and take a train or bus into Dawson City, Yukon. It’s hard to fathom, but this cluster of charming frontier-era shops on the banks of the Yukon River was once the pulsing heart of the Klondike Gold Rush and the biggest city north of Seattle. Today, the town of roughly 2,200 is still active in gold mining and known for its vibrant arts scene.
With a cruisetour and our Have It All Early Booking Bonus, you get more benefits to enjoy your adventure and get to spend more time exploring this unique town with opportunities like stepping into the shoes of a prospector and pan for gold.
