Skagway Cruise Port
Cruise ships dock at piers on the Skagway waterfront, including the Broadway Dock and the Ore Dock, and the town is small and on level ground, so many people walk. Small S.M.A.R.T. buses also run between the docks and downtown Broadway Street, with the fare paid to the driver.

Where ships dock
Ships dock along the Skagway waterfront. The Broadway Dock is centrally located on the waterfront, and rail service for the White Pass and Yukon Route train begins at the immediate end of that dock. The Ore Dock was originally built for bulk carriers and was later modified to serve as a cruise ship dock.
Getting into town
Walking works well. The town is a few blocks wide and a couple dozen blocks long, on level ground. S.M.A.R.T. City Transit small buses run from the cruise ship docks to downtown Broadway Street, and the fare is paid to the driver.
Getting around
S.M.A.R.T. City Transit provides small buses around town and to and from the cruise ship docks. Shuttle fare applies from the dock to the Skagway River Bridge. A shuttle also runs from the dock to Dyea, and to the end of the pavement on the Dyea Road or Liarsville Road, with a fare for each trip. Shuttle trips to the US/Canadian border at White Pass Summit also carry a fee. S.M.A.R.T. is a year-round on-demand shuttle, and you call for pickup. Dyea can also be reached by driving or biking. The White Pass and Yukon Route train starts at the port of Skagway.
Near the pier
Skagway wildlife tours begin in the small boat harbor, within walking distance of the cruise ships in the south end of town. The Skagway Visitor Center is in the Arctic Brotherhood Hall, easy to find because of its driftwood exterior, and has free area guides and hiking maps. Outdoor gold rush and vintage train engine displays in Skagway make good photo backdrops.
