Celebrity's Alaska is a land of superlatives and natural wonder. This is a land you must explore to appreciate, and there's no better way to explore Alaska than on a Celebrity Cruisetour. Enjoy the best of both worlds on a Celebrity Cruisetour: a spectacular Celebrity cruise along the coast of Alaska combined with a fully escorted land tour into the magnificent Alaskan interior. Or, journey deep into the Canadian Rockies or the premier resort town of Whistler, British Columbia on your choice of spectacular Celebrity Cruisetour packages.

Hubbard Glacier is the reigning beauty in Celebrity Cruises' Alaska, where the breathtakingly rugged splendor of the natural world meets the comfortable sophistication of a top-notch cruise. Guests on all three Celebrity ships that will sail in the region in 2009 will have the opportunity to gaze at the glacier, which is the only advancing glacier in Alaska. Hubbard Glacier is but one of countless must-see sights in the region, and much of Alaska’s coastal magnificence is featured in Celebrity's 2009 season there. Unique cruisetours will afford guests the opportunity to experience inland Alaska, the Canadian Rockies, and Whistler, British Columbia.
