Your adventure begins when you disembark and meet your costumed guide who “lives” in 1898 and is there to accompany you on your Alaskan experience. Your ticket includes everything you need for a trip to the Klondike. Enter the Gold Rush Training Camp, and learn how to extract paydirt, sluice, and assay your results. Be careful! Entertaining townspeople will try to get your money before you leave. Learn the art of gold panning with a humorous and educational show. Practice your technique in heated water troughs. Gold is guaranteed! Weigh your fortune with our assayers.

Meet canine athletes that have run the world-famous Iditarod race as well as experienced mushers. Hear about the history of this breed through personal stories and an amazing collection of all the gear necessary on long-distance races like the Iditarod. Watch as a musher hooks them up to an authentic sled for a fast practice lap around the track. The next generation of puppies who are there for you to cuddle and hold. Puppy kisses guaranteed!

Return to the ship not as a cheechako (newcomer to Alaska) but as a seasoned sourdough (someone who has experienced Alaska and is now a part of its history and culture) with lots of memories to share back home.
