The Sourdough Cruise

Klondike Cruises 2018

The Sourdough - In the Yukon the term "Sourdough" refers to a person who has survived a winter in the Yukon Territory! We named this cruise package the Sourdough because after you take this trip you will have truly experienced the best of the Yukon - everything except the cold! (which is another excellent trip to take). This package will show you how Yukoners live and work, how the wilderness touches your soul and how history created the land we call home.

Package starts at $3,198 per person - is 11 full days and 10 nights. Includes a 3 day cruise on Holland America, Whitepass Yukon Route Railroad train ticket, 3 nights in Whitehorse, the Capital of the Yukon, two full day of excursions included there, flight to Dawson City with 3 nights and 3 exciting excursions included - then a flight back to Vancouver on Air North, Yukon's Airline. Plus a free gift bag and trip cancellation insurance.

Remember - with nearly 24 hours of daylight - travelling in the Land of the Midnight Sun gives you lots of time for so many activities.
