Relive the edgy days of saloons, dance halls, shootouts, ladies of the night, and cancan girls on a visit to Skagway's most prestigious bordello.
Board a motorcoach for a narrated panoramic drive through historic downtown Skagway.
At the Red Onion Saloon, a splendidly costumed Madam greets you with a mimosa or coffee and souvenir garter. On a rare glimpse behind the velvet curtains, hear the stories of courageous women, past and present -- Klondike Kate, Diamond-Tooth Lil and others. You will learn about the many iterations of the Red Onion since its 1898 opening and its distinct role in Skagway's gold rush and more recent (but no less intoxicating) history. Have your photo taken with one of the Madams before the bustling bar opens to the public.
Head upstairs to the celebrated Brothel Museum and explore the hallway, bedrooms, and artifacts left behind by the 'soiled doves' of yesteryear.
Journey over to the Gold Rush Cemetery -- final resting place of some of the more colorful characters of the Klondike Gold Rush.
From the Lookout, photograph the sweeping view of the Skagway Valley, glacier-clad mountains, Lynn Canal, and your cruise ship.
