Experience more of Alaska's iconic Wilderness, Wildlife, Mountains and Glaciers.
On an Alaska cruise, guests sail along the breathtaking southeastern coastline, surrounded by glaciers, nature’s ever-changing, fragile masterpieces. But a Celebrity Cruisetour takes the journey deeper.
On the Kenai Peninsula, glacier-capped mountains plunge into bays abundant with marine life. Farther north, Denali National Park opens into vast tundra and sweeping taiga forests. A single road leads through this untouched wilderness to North America’s tallest peak, where iconic wildlife roams freely.
With a Celebrity Cruisetour, guests discover and explore so much more of Alaska’s iconic wilderness, wildlife, mountains, and glaciers.
A visit to Kenai Peninsula will show you more of Alaska’s wild glacial beauty. An overnight in Seward, situated at the end of Resurrection Bay, a long fjord on the Kenai Peninsula, shows off towering, snow-capped mountains that surrounded the city and Kenai Fjords National Park and the vast glaciers of the Harding Icefield are within easy reach.
Pristine environmental conditions make Alaska well known for its abundant wildlife. Alaska's parks provide you with up-close experiences with wildlife unlike anywhere else in the country. Denali National Park, one of Alaska's premiere sites for wildlife viewing, encompasses 6 million acres of wild lands. In these wild unencumbered spaces, Caribou feed along the northern slopes, Grizzly bears munch on berries, Dall sheep graze in the mountains, moose forage in the shrubs and wolves roam across the tundra. In the waters and coastline of Kenai Fjords National Park humpback whales are known to breach, Steller sea lions lounge on rocky outcroppings and pods of Orca’s swim.
With thirty different mountain ranges and the top ten tallest peaks in North America, Alaska is a land of spectacular peaks and valleys. The Alaska Range reaches from the coastline to the interior regions. Journeying to the interior of Alaska on a Cruisetour affords the opportunity to view the tallest peak in North America, it towers over the surrounding Alaska Range rising to 20,320 feet, the view on a clear day is an intensely impressive sight.
Massive open spaces, ancient forests, soaring mountains and salmon-filled rivers create exceptionally rugged, untamed beauty. Alaska has more than 57 million acres of wilderness: watersheds, mountain ranges, glaciers, wetlands, coastlines, volcanoes, tundra, and forests. Exploring the interior of Alaska on a Cruisetour opens up the possibility to visit iconic Alaskan wilderness like Denali National Park, Kenai Fjord National Park, Kachemak Bay State Park and Katmai National Park.
