the Wilderness Express, the glass-domed traincars, and also include 4 tours. Explore Alaska's spectacular mountains
of ice and the charming frontier spirit of Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and other destinations. Best of all, you can experience
the untamed splendor of Alaska while enjoying all the comforts of Celebrity's Five-Star service and style.

Cruise Itinerary - Ports of Calls
Blue-ice
glaciers and gold-rush boomtowns, towering totem poles and deep, rocky fjords. On your Celebrity cruisetour to Alaska, you'll
discover a world of natural wonders and colorful cultures, with visits to fascinating ports of call and special shore excursions.
Day 7, Aug 31. Seward
Depart 8:00 PM
This tiny fishing village is surrounded by the Alaska Maritime National Refuge, the Kenai National
Wildlife Refuge, the Chugach National Forest & Kenai Fjords National Park. Seabirds, otters, black bears, moose
& other wildlife thrive in this natural sanctuary (optional tours).
Day 8, Sep 1. Hubbard Glacier (Cruising) Cruising Arrive
2:00 PM Depart 6:00 PM
The most spectacular sight and event I have ever seen! In 1986,
Hubbard Glacier made history when it began a dramatic and sudden advance, surging forward at a rate of up to 130 feet a day
and earning the name "Galloping Glacier." The moving wall of ice eventually stretched all the Iway across the water
to Gilberts Point, blocking off Russell Fjord to create a temporary freshwater lake. Eventually, water pressure broke through
the Ice dam, but today Hubbard Glacier continues to advance, "calving" icebergs into the water. Its home, Yakutat
Bay, is also a habitat for wildlife of all kinds.
Day 9, Sep 2. Juneau
Docked Arrive 9:00 AM
Depart 9:00 PM
I really enjoyed the tramway, Red
Dog Saloon, and the Mendenhall Glacier! Nestled between mountains and sea, Alaska's capital city has a rustic charm
that's a blend of cosmopolitan and frontier styles. The Alaska State Museum includes a Native clan house and birch-bark
canoe, gold rush memorabilia, and Russian Orthodox relics. Just outside of town is Mendenhall Glacier, which you can view
by air or water or a choice of exciting shore excursions. Other adventures include whale watching and nature walks, scenic
bike rides and sport fishing--even an authentic Alaskan salmon bake. (optional tours)
Day 10, Sep 3.
Skagway
Docked Arrive 7:00 AM
Depart 8:30 PM
Some of the most beautiful country
I have ever seen! The frontier spirit is alive and well in the gold-rush town of Skagway, the northernmost point of
Alaska's Inside Passage. Relive the city's boomtown past in lively saloons and rousing dance hall revues and on vintage
street car tours. Board the historic White Pass and Yukon Railway or take the Klondike summit drive and pan for gold (optional
tours).
Day 11, Sep 4. Icy Strait Point
Tendered Arrive 7:00 AM
Depart 4:00 PM
In 2004, 2006, & 2007, we saw
numerous Humpback and Killer Whales, Sea Lions, & Otters. Frequently spotting Humpback Whales is one of the many
draws to the Icy Straits. This body of water, which connects to and from the Gulf 'of Alaska, allows you to see plenty
of coastal marine life, rare land mammals, as well as glaciers and icebergs.
Day 12, Sep 5. Ketchikan
Docked Arrive 9:00 AM
Depart 6:00 PM
Ancestral home of Alaska's Tlingit
Indians, this rustic waterfront village has the World's largest collection of totem poles. You can see this ancient art
form and learn the meaning behind totem pole imagery at the Saxman Native Village and Totem Bight and the Totem Heritage Center
(optional tours).
Day 13, Sep 6. Inside Passage (Cruising)
Cruising
Threading along the magnificent coast of Canada and Alaska,
the Inside Passage offers spectacular close-up views of rain forests, sparkling glaciers, steep-walled fjords and snow-capped
mountains. Watch closely for whales, sea lions, bears and other wildlife--the Inside Passage is home to more than 100 species
of mammals.
Day 14, Sep 7. Vancouver, British Columbia Docked Arrive
7:00 AM
From its sparkling skyline to picturesque vistas of Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, Vancouver is exquisite.

tours).
