2028 Cruise Collection | Alaska

September 22 – October 1, 2028 | 9 Nights | Celebrity Edge

Alaska, Beyond the Ordinary

Alaska is one of those destinations where the scenery genuinely lives up to its reputation.

Towering glaciers, dramatic coastlines, remarkable wildlife and small towns with fascinating histories make this part of the world particularly rewarding to explore by ship.

For our exclusive Gin & Tonic Travel 2028 Cruise Collection, we've selected a nine-night voyage aboard Celebrity Edge, departing Seattle on September 22, 2028, and arriving in Vancouver on October 1.

With five Alaskan ports, scenic cruising through Endicott Arm and the Inside Passage, and a visit to Victoria, this itinerary offers an excellent introduction to Alaska—and plenty to interest those returning for another look.

Your Voyage: Seattle to Vancouver

The itinerary combines some of Alaska's best-known ports with smaller coastal communities, glacier viewing and scenic cruising.

You'll have opportunities to explore Alaska's wilderness, learn about the region's history and culture, and experience its remarkable landscapes from both land and sea.

Discover the Highlights

Ketchikan — Alaska's Coastal Character

Often referred to as the Salmon Capital of the World, Ketchikan is known for its colourful waterfront, rich Indigenous heritage and surrounding temperate rainforest.

It's an excellent introduction to southeastern Alaska, with opportunities for wildlife viewing, cultural experiences and exploring the town's historic Creek Street.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier — The Scenic Centrepiece

One of the highlights of this itinerary is the early-morning cruise through Endicott Arm, a spectacular fjord framed by steep mountains, waterfalls and dramatic scenery.

At the head of the fjord lies Dawes Glacier, an impressive tidewater glacier where visitors may have the opportunity to witness ice calving into the water.

This is a morning worth getting up early for.

Juneau — Alaska's Capital

Accessible only by air or sea, Juneau combines a lively waterfront with spectacular natural surroundings.

The nearby Mendenhall Glacier, whale-watching opportunities and excursions into the surrounding wilderness make it one of Alaska's most popular cruise destinations.

Our itinerary includes an extended afternoon and evening visit, allowing more flexibility to explore.

Skagway — Gold Rush History

Skagway retains much of its Klondike Gold Rush character, with historic buildings and a fascinating connection to the prospectors who travelled north in search of fortune.

The famous White Pass & Yukon Route Railway is one of the region's signature experiences, offering impressive mountain scenery and a glimpse into the area's history.

Sitka — History, Culture & Wildlife

Sitka offers a different perspective on Alaska, combining Tlingit heritage, Russian influences and a spectacular coastal setting.

Its historic sites, surrounding forests and opportunities for marine wildlife viewing make it one of the itinerary's particularly interesting stops.

Icy Strait Point — A Closer Look at Alaska

Located near the community of Hoonah, Icy Strait Point offers opportunities to experience Alaska's natural environment and Indigenous culture.

Whale watching, wilderness excursions and outdoor activities are among the attractions, while the surrounding scenery provides plenty to appreciate at a more relaxed pace.

Inside Passage — A Day for the Views

Our southbound journey includes scenic cruising through the Inside Passage, one of North America's most beautiful coastal waterways.

Forested islands, rugged shorelines and expansive ocean views make this an ideal day to enjoy Celebrity Edge's outdoor spaces and panoramic viewpoints.

Victoria — A Canadian Finale

Before arriving in Vancouver, we'll enjoy an afternoon and evening in Victoria, British Columbia.

Known for its attractive harbour, historic architecture, gardens and relaxed West Coast atmosphere, Victoria provides a lovely conclusion to the voyage.

Discover Celebrity Edge

Celebrity Edge offers a contemporary approach to cruising, with thoughtful design, excellent dining and a wide range of spaces to relax after days exploring ashore.

From the innovative Magic Carpet to the beautifully designed Eden venue and distinctive Infinite Veranda staterooms, the ship offers a sophisticated onboard experience without sacrificing the relaxed atmosphere that makes cruising so appealing.

And on a scenic voyage like Alaska, the ship's expansive views and outdoor spaces are particularly welcome.

Why Stop in Vancouver?

This is where our 2028 Cruise Collection offers something a little different.

When Celebrity Edge arrives in Vancouver on October 1, the ship continues across the Pacific to Tokyo on a 16-night transpacific voyage.

That creates an opportunity to combine two very different experiences: Alaska's wilderness and a crossing of the world's largest ocean, culminating in Japan.

For those with even more time, Celebrity Edge continues from Tokyo to Singapore on October 17.

Three consecutive voyages aboard the same ship, from Seattle to Singapore.

Naturally, each sailing can be enjoyed independently. There is no requirement to join a group or participate in organized activities.
