AM --- PORTS OF CALL. Blue-ice glaciers and gold-rush
boomtowns, towering totem poles and deep, rocky fjords. On your Celebrity cruise to Alaska, you'll discover a world of
natural wonders and colorful cultures, with visits to fascinating ports of call and special shore excursions. - Vancouver. From
its sparkling skyline to picturesque vistas of Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, Vancouver is exquisite. In the historic
Gastown district, explore the crooked, cobblestone alleys filled with galleries, shops and eateries. For a truly international
experience, visit Chinatown or Little Italy. And stroll along the seawall in Stanley Park to watch ships sail under Lion's
Gate Bridge.
- Inside
Passage. 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.
- Ketchlkan. 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. Ketchikan is also a jumping-off point for seaplane excursions to the 2.2 million acre Misty Fjords National Monument,
complete with abundant wildlife, waterfalls and towering mountains
- Juneau (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
- Skagway (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.
- Icy Strait Point. In 2004 & 2007, we saw numerous
Humpback and Killer Whales (Lots in 2004), 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.
- Hubbard Glacier (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 Gilbert s 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.
- Seward. 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.
