If an Alaska cruise is on your bucket list, here’s why you should see it with Celebrity Cruises. With 9 itineraries, 8 destinations, and over 160 excursions, you can see Alaska’s stunning beauty in luxury – your way. From the wildlife in the Inside Passage and the historic Icy Strait Point to the Hubbard Glacier, Alaska’s capital of Juneau to the “Salmon Capital of the World,” Ketchikan, there’s so much to see that you’re sure to have an extraordinary vacation. Here are 8 reasons to choose Celebrity Cruises.
Three ships to choose from
The Celebrity Solstice®, Celebrity Millennium® and Celebrity Infinity® all travel to Alaska to bring you to the must-see sights and scenery. Millennium had a massive multi-million dollar refurbishment in 2019, with enhanced features from Celebrity’s Edge-class ships is an essence of modern luxury. The Infinity has undergone $9M in luxury makeovers in 2015 while the Solstice is known for having 85% of its staterooms equipped with spacious verandas so you can soak up the stunning views every single morning.
Three ports to choose from
You can discover Alaska from three ports depending on what is more convenient and cost-effective for you: Seattle, Washington; Seward, Alaska and Vancouver, British Columbia. Plus, you can extend your stay in either of these cities with the help of a tripcentral.ca travel agent to make your vacation even more memorable.

This trip has been on my bucket list since I retired in 2016. Time to do it.
My best friend has cancer & has now been given 3-6 months . This would be an
amazing trip for her & I , something to remember her forever.
My younger sister has had cancer 3 times, uterine and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma twice plus a stem cell transplant which unfortunately didn’t work the way it was supposed to. She can no longer work. This trip would be amazing for her since she can’t afford to pay for one. I would win like to win it for her and her partner.
This would be a Dream of a lifetime!
This is something our family has always wanted to do. A dream for sure!
this trip would definitely be a dream come true, just in time for my daughters 18th birthday!!
This would be an amazing trip . My son and I are looking at taking a trip together This would be nice. I hear its amazing
Wow, would this be a great anniversary gift for my husband. It is probably one of the few places he would like to cruise. Looks amazing!!
My husband is not a great traveller, but I know this is a place he would love to visit.
We have never been on a cruise such as this, and it looks like an amazing place to see, and the scenery is beautiful!!

I am getting on board the celebrity summit on Jan 4 carabean but would love to see alaska
i have never asked for anything in my life, i work hard everyday and earn mine and my families keep .
I am known as a giver not a taker , Most recently someone said to me..if you do not ask , you may never get.
So today this would be my request .
Would love to take my girl on this cruise
Would be a wonderful 35th anniversary gift since we didnt go anywhere for our 25th.
This trip.would be a wonderful celebration of our 30th Wedding Anniversary…we have both come through life with anxious health scares…as I am sure many people have..in their lifetime…….Just a thought on lifelines.
This trip would be great since my boyfriend and I have just been together for a couple years and would love to do this trip. Once in a life time experience
Wow this is a trip that’s been on our bucket list ever since we started cruising
I’ll now would like to take my mother in-law to show her that crusing is the best way to vacation, since she was told otherwise. To sight see and travel by train would be awesome
I always wanted to see Alaska but couldn’t afford to go but if I win this would be a dream come true.
This is something my husband and I would love to do. We married three years ago and retired. This certainly would take out the stress of driving and the planning as it is being done for us. We love nature and seeing different parts of the country. Never had a cruise but would be one way to see what it is like. Since my husband’s triple bypass we have tried to take trips and pace ourselves. Hope to be able to join and see Alaska. Thank you for the chance.
Would love this trip, my husband always wanted to do one of these cruises.
A dream come true!
My husband and I always wanted to travel. But between work and a lack of spare cash…it has never been possible. Would so love this vacation to Alaska. Would be a dream come true!
