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.
DISCOVER THE LAST GREAT FRONTIER.
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.
