Celebrity’s Alaska: Discover the Majesty of the Last Frontier
 
Glacial seacoast. Rugged landscape. Cosmopolitan cities. Experience all of the drama and beauty of this wild land while traveling in signature Celebrity style.

 

Alaska has been given the perfect name. It comes from the Aleut word meaning "great island," a description you will come to embrace as you discover the beauty of Alaska’s terrain, wildlife, and culture. From your champagne welcome while embarking on one of the top 10 ships in the world to the anticipation of yet another exciting cruise, Celebrity brings you Alaska like no one else.

 

A 7-night Alaska itinerary is ideal for exploring Alaska’s coastline and ports. One look around your elegant stateroom and you will know you have the perfect backdrop to your vacation: the panorama just beyond your veranda. Look forward to gazing at an unsurpassed landscape of lush forests, glistening glaciers, and steep-walled fjords. Even better, these mesmerizing vistas will remain visible well into the night thanks to Alaska’s long summer days.

 

You won’t just be gazing at all these riches. Celebrity’s shore excursions will also introduce you to them firsthand. In the Gold Rush town of Skagway you can choose helicopter flightseeing and a glacier walk. The world’s largest collection of totem poles stands ready for your camera in Ketchikan. And Sitka, a tranquil fishing village that was once part of the Czarise Russian Empire, offers wilderness kayaking, sportfishing, and wildlife quests.

 

For an even more comprehensive look as Alaska’s vast interior, choose a Celebrity Cruisetour. Each of the Alaska Cruisetour itineraries couples the luxury and excitement of a cruise vacation with an extraordinary land tour. Your Celebrity Cruisetour to Denali National Park will introduce you to one of the world’s extraordinary wildlife sanctuaries. You’ll travel deep into Alaska’s heartland via deluxe motorcoach and Celebrity’s Wilderness Express, their luxurious glass-domed traincars with 360-degree views. An experienced tour director will guide you every step of the way as you discover that caribou, moose, wolves, and even grizzlies roam free here.

 

Whether you choose a fully escorted Cruisetour, or one of the new shorter cruises through the Pacific Northwest, you can expect the outstanding service and amenities Celebrity is known for. The elegance and comfort of your surroundings will stand in contrast to the rugged wild beauty of Alaska. The quiet sanctuary of your spacious suite will prove to be the perfect window to this wondrous world - the "great land" on the edge of North America.
