About Your Trip

Alaska Gold Rush Adventure

Alaska cruises have surged in popularity in recent years, and demand to see America’s last unspoiled frontier continues to grow.

If you decide to cruise Alaska you can see snowcapped peaks, mighty glaciers, steep fjords and such wildlife as whales, black bears, brown bears, bald eagles, sea otters and seals. You’ll also find historic gold rush towns, Native American art and culture,

Russian heritage and plenty of outdoor adventure. Because of this region’s popularity and short season, the per-diem prices for Alaska cruises are among the highest in the cruise industry.

Alaska cruises are generally divided into two types, Inside Passage cruises and Gulf of Alaska cruises.

The Inside Passage has been the traditional way to cruise Alaska, with most ships sailing round-trip from Vancouver or Seattle, through glacier country as far north as Skagway or Juneau. Gulf of Alaska cruises cover more territory as they travel from Vancouver through the Inside Passage and up to Seward/Anchorage (or the reverse).

ALASKA CRUISETOURS – GO BEYOND HORIZONS

To fully experience Alaska, discover its interior, where communities remain intimately connected to the land, where wild animals roam as they have for millennia and where native nations thrive. On an Alaska cruise, you’ll journey along the southeast coastline of Alaska, experiencing its glaciers, nature’s ever-changing and fragile masterpieces.

But with a Celebrity Cruisetour, you’ll uncover so much more.

On the Kenai Peninsula, glacier-covered mountains descend into bays abundant with sea life. Journey north, and you’ll travel among the vast tundra and taiga forests of Denali National Park. A single road crosses this untouched wilderness, home to North America’s tallest peak and a stunning array of wildlife.

Connect with Alaska’s Native Peoples and meet city dwellers who are as diverse as the landscapes they inhabit: from cosmopolitan espresso drinkers to anglers and mountaineers, all are part of the fascinating culture that is Alaska.

With a Celebrity Cruisetour, you’ll enjoy the best of Alaska, by combining a seven-night sailing along its southeastern coastline with a small-group tour into its magnificent inland destinations.

Stay in the finest available lodges and embark on remote roads and railways in deluxe transportation. All with our local Alaskan Tour Directors, who are passionate about sharing their Alaska with you. Every aspect of your journey has been carefully curated for you to discover the Last Frontier — on your terms
