Welcome Reception
Sponsored by: AnyCasting
Sunday, June 7 18:15 – 19:15
The Welcome Reception will take in the Navigator Club on the Sky Deck. Make new friends or get reacquainted with old ones as we sail north to Alaska basking in the amazing scenery from our commanding view perched on the top deck of the ship.
Celebrity Theatre
A Celebrity cruise is your ticket to brilliant, award-winning entertainment. As the evening sea sparkles, experience spectacular numbers from the best and brightest of broadway shows and captivating musical reviews in the elegant Celebrity Theater. Delight in the amazing flight of acrobats and the contagious wit of comedians as you enjoy Celebrity's hospitality. There are two shows nightly in the Celebrity Theatre to accommodate guests from the two dinner seatings. Check your daily schedule to see what is scheduled each night.
Ports, cites and Shore Excursions
Delegates have the opportunity to experience the ports of call that we dock at a leisurely pace or purchase a scheduled shore excursion. If you have not already booked your shore excursions you can do so by completing the forms available in your stateroom and taking them to the Shore Excursions Desk onboard. The ship also offers an interactive television system that allows guests to reserve tours from the convenience of their stateroom. Any tickets you purchase onboard will be delivered directly to your stateroom and charged to your Seapass.
Knowledgeable, professional guides lead all excursions and offer special insights into the culture, history, wildlife, and geology of each destination.
Seapass
Remember to take your Cruise Card (Seapass) with you whenever you go ashore. It will serve as your Identification Card which you will be required to show to the officer on duty before re-boarding the ship.
Vancouver, British Columbia Day 1 | Day 8
Every bit as cosmopolitan as Seattle, with a distinctive European flair, Vancouver is the Canadian jewel of Puget Sound. From the cobblestone streets of the Gastown district to Little Italy and Chinatown, Vancouver has something for everyone.
Inside Passage (Cruising) Day 2 | Day 7
This is one of the most famously beautiful passages in all the world. It features virtually everything you came to Alaska hoping to see, including rain forests, glaciers, fjords and white-capped peaks. All of which create a setting that's perfect for viewing whales and sea lions.
Sitka, Alaska Day 3
This tranquil fishing village was once part of the expansive Czarist Russian Empire. Gaze over Crescent Bay and catch a glimpse of the onion-domed Russian cathedral from high atop Castle Hill. Visit the Sitka National Historical Park, the very spot where native Tlingits and Russian settlers fought to the bitter end. Ironically, the strife of the past has led to the creation of an eclectic community that reflects its Tlingit, Russian and American roots.
Hubbard Glacier (Cruising) Day 4
Hubbard Glacier is the one glacier in the world that does not move at a glacial pace. Quite the opposite. In fact, in 1986, Hubbard Glacier - the largest tidewater glacier on the North American continent - moved an average of just under 5.5 feet per hour. Keep a watchful eye as you sail through the Yakutat Bay, as you may be a witness to geological history.
Juneau, Alaska Day 5
Where Earl Grey meets Eddie Bauer® would be a good way to describe the charms of Alaska's capital city. Here the pioneering spirit lives on in an interesting mix of cosmopolitan chic and frontier ruggedness. Visit the Alaska State Museum and its exquisite collection of Russian Orthodox and Gold Rush relics.
Ketchikan, Alaska Day 6
In addition to being the jumping-off point for seaplane excursions into the Misty Fjords National Monument and its 2.2 million acres of wilderness nirvana, Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit tribe. Another "must-see" here is the world's largest collection of totem poles. You can learn what motivates someone to turn a piece of lumber into a towering work of art at the Saxman Native Village and Totem Bight and Totem Heritage Center.
