We went on Celebrity's Millenium last Sept, and it was our 2nd time to Alaska. We flew into Anchorage from Seattle, took a wonderful train ride down to Seward, spent 3 days there, taking some outstanding tours and boat rides while there, then hopped on the ship. Our ports were Juneau, (trip into Glacier Bay was cancelled due to bad weather), Ketchikan, Skagway, & Icy Straits, disembarking in Vancouver, Canada. Getting to see more of Alaska was high on our list, and I highly recommend the White Pass Train ride in Skagway. Learning more history about Alaska sparked a fire in me, and I immediately read James Michener's book, Alaska, when we got home. We're already talking about taking another trip there again and extending it so we can go inland even more into Alaska. So far Celebrity had been our favorite cruise line. Oh, and the restaurant, La Petite Chef, was AMAZING! It was so different than anything we've ever seen, and if anyone is unfamiliar with it, search on youtube for videos. Now I want to see their other shows.

Celebrity Edge is a great ship. You’ll have a great time. Glacier Bay is one of our favorites, but we didn’t visit until our 3rd trip. So you’ll have to go back. Have you sailed with Celebrity before?

@matthewbell629 2 ай бұрын

We did the round trip on the train last year and seems like 2 hours long. Left around 2 hours after we arrived in Port. If I'm not mistaken we had to take the tender in that Port. We were on the royal princess princess. princess.

We have done this tour twice and usually bucket it with a bus tour. The round trip is the same route and narration, so it is redundant.

@vallabore980 Ай бұрын

We took the White Pass train last year off of Celebrity. We chose the 4 hr by train 1 way and bused back. It's a lovely relaxing ride as you slowly go up the mountains and passes, and learn the history of the gold miners who came there, many not surviving. We crossed into Canada and disembarked shortly after for the trip back. It made a lasting impression on is.

@trbstang 29 күн бұрын

I absolutely agree with eatsleepcruise on this. We took a middle distance train/bus tour to Frasier Canada last year (need a passport) that was a bus trip one way and train trip the other way. We got to experience the train ride, which was amazing, and also got to stop at several locations along the highway for pictures and to experience the waterfalls. Plus it was a bit cheaper than the train both ways. Our bus tour guide was great and had all kinds of info on Alaska. Hope you enjoy your cruise to Alaska! We are going again in a week! 😂
