Cruise Overview
As you journey into Alaska’s stunning landscapes, surrounded by towering mountains, untouched forests, and magnificent glaciers, you'll encounter a rugged beauty found nowhere else on Earth. An Alaskan cruise with Celebrity promises an unforgettable adventure, allowing you to experience wildlife up close, immerse yourself in the great outdoors, and explore the rich culture and history of the Last Frontier.
A cruising experience with us provides access to a range of destinations. Specific ports of call are subject to change due to weather, safety or operational considerations.
Vancouver, British Columbia
Skyscrapers, mountains, and ocean come together seamlessly in Vancouver, without ever feeling crowded. Stanley Park alone is worth the visit, 1,000 acres of forest, totem poles, and scenic seawall right at the edge of downtown, while Gastown's cobblestone streets invite a leisurely afternoon and the local food scene punches well above its weight.
The city's multicultural character shows up especially at mealtime, where exceptional dim sum can be found just blocks from a classic seafood shack. With mountains visible from downtown streets and ski slopes less than an hour away, Vancouver manages to feel like an outdoor destination even before the ship leaves the harbor. Consistently ranked among the most livable cities in the world, it combines that outdoor access with genuine urban polish, excellent public transit, walkable neighborhoods, and a waterfront locals actually use rather than just admire.

Inside Passage (Cruising)
Some days on an Alaska itinerary skip the port entirely, and that's very much the point. The ship simply glides through the scenery, forested coastline, granite cliffs, and glacier-carved inlets unfolding for hours at a time. Onboard naturalists often spot wildlife before passengers do, a whale surfacing here, an eagle circling there, and most people find themselves at the rail with a coffee, taking it all in quietly.
There's no schedule to follow on a day like this, no excursion to catch or meeting point to remember. The pace is set entirely by the coastline, which for many travelers turns out to be exactly the kind of unhurried break they didn't know they needed. Without a port pulling attention toward shops or excursions, the focus shifts entirely to the landscape itself, which for many becomes the most memorable part of the entire trip. Ask returning guests what stands out most from an Alaska cruise, and a scenic cruising day often comes up before any single port does.

Ketchikan (Ward Cove), Alaska
You've never tasted salmon so fresh. Known as the 'Salmon Capital of the World', Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit people, who have carved the world's largest collection of totem poles. If you're up for an adventure, take a canoe and nature trail excursion through the rain forest or a wilderness exploration followed by a sumptuous crab feast you'll long remember.
Sitka, Alaska
History layers together in interesting ways in Sitka. Onion domes top St. Michael's Cathedral, a remnant of the town's days as capital of Russian America, standing just blocks from centuries of Tlingit tradition that predates it by far longer. Sitka National Historical Park showcases an impressive collection of totem poles set against coastal rainforest, while sea otters drift lazily in nearby kelp beds and brown bears roam the surrounding woods.
Facing the open Pacific rather than tucked behind sheltering islands, Sitka experiences a different rhythm of light and weather than most inside ports, brighter skies on clear days and bigger swells rolling in from offshore. The transfer of Alaska from Russian to American hands in 1867 actually took place right here in Sitka, and reminders of that pivotal moment are woven throughout the town's museums and historic sites. For history-minded travelers, walking these streets means tracing a turning point that shaped the entire state's future.

Icy Strait Point, Alaska
Just outside the Tlingit village of Hoonah sits a beautifully restored 1930s salmon cannery, now reimagined as part cultural landmark, part adventure destination, offering a quieter alternative to Alaska's larger, busier ports. Adventure seekers can take on one of the longest ziplines in the world aboard the Icy Strait Point ZipRider, while those looking for a gentler pace can enjoy storytelling and dance rooted in generations of Tlingit tradition. Offshore, the whale watching is some of the best in the state, thanks to particularly rich humpback feeding grounds nearby.
Hoonah remains an active fishing community, and it's common to see local boats coming and going with the day's catch just steps from where cruise passengers explore. The cannery building itself once processed millions of pounds of salmon each season before closing in the 1950s, and much of its original equipment and structure has been preserved as part of the visitor experience, offering a tangible link to the industry that shaped so much of coastal Alaska's early economy.

Juneau, Alaska
No roads lead to Juneau, only boats and planes, a fitting detail for a capital city that still feels genuinely wild. Mountains rise on one side, water stretches out on the other, leaving little room in between for anything but a compact, character-filled downtown. Mendenhall Glacier sits just 12 miles from the city center, close enough for an easy afternoon visit, its brilliant blue ice framed by waterfalls and forest trails, while black bears occasionally appear fishing in nearby streams and humpback whales surface in the surrounding channel.
Downtown is easy to explore on foot, lined with weathered wooden storefronts, excellent seafood spots, and a state capitol building tucked in almost casually among them. It's a rare case of a capital city that feels more like a frontier outpost than a seat of government. That isolation has also shaped Juneau's identity in unexpected ways, from a strong local arts scene to a genuine sense of community among residents who choose to live somewhere so remote, character that comes through quickly even on a short visit.

Hubbard Glacier, Alaska
The numbers alone are striking: 76 miles long, six miles wide at the face, with ice walls rising up to 400 feet above the water. While many of Alaska's glaciers are retreating, Hubbard remains one of the rare exceptions still advancing, and that difference shows in the calving. Massive slabs of ice break away with little warning, and the crack of splitting ice reaches the ship just after the ice hits the water. Conversations pause, cameras rise, it's a moment that photographs capture only partially.
Disenchantment Bay earned its name from early explorers who came looking for a passage that didn't exist, though today the disappointment is long forgotten, replaced by the sheer scale of the glacier. Ships often linger here for an hour or more just to take it all in. Scientists have studied Hubbard closely for decades, in part because its advance occasionally threatens to seal off Russell Fjord entirely, turning it into a landlocked lake, an ongoing tug of war between ice and water that adds a layer of quiet drama to a glacier already ranking among Alaska's most dramatic sights.
