Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Master your cooking skills during a hands-on lesson at award-winning The Historic Skagway Inn. Built in 1897 and set within the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Historic District, the inn is the ideal location to learn the secrets of some of the area's best recipes. It's just a short ride to the inn, where you'll gather in the Saloon Room and meet the chef and owner who will share his knowledge of foods popular during the Gold Rush. Then, you'll walk to the garden in search of the perfect ingredients for the cooking demonstration and join the chef as he prepares three experiments that include smoking (and tasting) Alaska salmon or halibut, using purple cabbage to determine the acidity of foods, and making your own ice cream dessert! Once you've completed your epicurean journey of sight and taste, you'll return to your ship.
