Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Summit also offer guests opportunities to discover unique cultures, snow-covered mountains, icy glaciers, and charming coastal towns with cruises from Seattle, Vancouver, and Seward.

Celebrity guests can deepen their Alaskan experience with a land-based Cruisetour, led by resident guides who are chosen for their deep-rooted connections to local communities. Through the land tours, guests stay in authentic lodges and travel on remote roads and railways. Cruisetours offer guests the chance to experience Alaska’s diverse and beautiful interior, including destinations like Anchorage, folksy Talkeetna, and wild Denali.

For a tropical escape, guests can embark on a breathtaking journey through lush rainforests, vibrant tropical blooms, and pristine beaches with two open-jaw sailings to and from Hawaii on Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Solstice. Relax beneath cascading waterfalls and explore the stunning reefs that await beneath the waves.
