Alaska Southern Glacier Cruise

Review summary

If you want to see southeast Alaska, this is the way to do it. Much of the territory is inaccessible via roads, and ferries or seaplanes are the only mode of transport. If you are looking for a more convenient way of getting to a number of popular and deserved spots - Hubbard glacier (among many others), towns of Sitka and Ketchikan, national parks, etc. - this is a great way to do so. 

 

Celebrity made everything very easy. They didn't over-explain everything or require you to think too much so you could get on with the business of relaxing.

 

The food was excellent, and I'm a particular eater. We really loved the excursions which we had purchased from , and they beat the prices offered by Celebrity directly. They also varied a little bit so that we only had a small number of people on the actual excursion.

 

Staff and crew were very friendly, they had a variety of entertainment options on board, the rooms were good, and the fitness/spa facilities were more than adequate.

one problem was that the toilet kept not flushing because of a problem with the central line (apparently many people were calling) so we had to use the public bathrooms fairly frequently, but otherwise the room was spacious and nice.

I think the best way to see that part of AK is using the AK ferry system but just to get to Skagway it may take 2 or 3 weeks plus you would be smart to have a small motor home or p/u and camper. The cost is not for the average person.
