WhycruiseAlaska
Alaska is like nowhere else on earth:
an Alpine frontier, a winter
wonderland and an untameable
wilderness all in one. There is no
more immersive way to experience
Alaska than by sea – get up close
and personal with captivating
wildlife and discover glaciers
inaccessible by any other route, all
from the comfort of your Celebrity
Cruises ship.
Alaska is also a haven for wildlife;
thriving populations of salmon,
moose, humpback whales and
nesting eagles abound. Celebrity
Cruise experts are on-hand to help
you delve deeper into the region and
all of its secrets.
Enjoy spectacular views from
invigorating hikes through scenic
forests, take to the water yourself on
a kayak amongst the mountains, or
strap into the world's largest zip line
at Ice Strait Point.
WhentovisitAlaska
Cruises to Alaska tend to run in the summer, between June and
September each year. This is when the weather in the region is at its most
mild, with warm days and short nights. Temperatures average in the mid-
20s during this time. These months are also when you’ll have the best
chance of spotting wildlife, such as bears and whales. Winter is best
avoided, as temperatures dip below freezing, the days are short, and
wildlife returns to hibernation. A number of festivals and events also take
place in Alaska during the summer.
As the weather can be unpredictable in Alaska during any season, so
make sure to bring plenty of warm layers with you. It’s also a good idea to
bring some rain gear and hiking boots for enjoying those long walks, like
the East Glacier Loop Trail. Want to do some wildlife spotting? Pack some
binoculars and your camera.
