Your day-to-day plan
Day 1
Vancouver
Arrive at Vancouver International Airport and transfer independently to your downtown hotel. Spend the rest of the day exploring this enchanting coastal city.
Day 2
Celebrity Cruises*
Arrive independently at the cruise terminal in Vancouver’s picturesque Canada Place ready to board your cruise to Alaska with Celebrity Cruises.
*This is a sample itinerary that may vary by sailing date.
Day 3
Inside Passage
Sit back and relax as you cruise Alaska's Inside Passage, a spectacular route through a complex labyrinth of waterways, featuring glacier-cut fjords, lush rainforests, and an abundance of wildlife including orca, bald eagles, bears, puffins, sea otters and much more.
Day 4
Icy Strait Point
For thousands of years, the Tlingit Indians have called this place home. Located near the city of Hoonah, and home to a historic cannery, Icy Strait Point also offers travelers the chance to view wildlife like humpback whales, orcas, seals, eagles, and brown bears, or to explore monuments to the region's fishing heritage.
Day 5
Hubbard Glacier
Marvel as you cruise up to Hubbard Glacier, perfect no matter what the weather. On clear days, Hubbard turns a stunning deep blue and on cloudy ones, its many ripples and icebergs shimmer in soft light. Among all the vanishing Alaska glaciers, Hubbard has a rapidly advancing ice margin— up to seven feet in one day—earning it the nickname, “the Galloping Glacier.”
Day 6
Juneau
Cruise to Juneau and visit the most remote, most beautiful, and strangest state capital in the United States. Surrounded by water, forest and mountain sights, visitors seeking things to do in Juneau indoors and outdoors can hike a glacier, eat fresh-caught fish on a seaside patio and tour a grand capitol building all in one day.
Day 7
Ketchikan
Surrounded by soaring peaks and green forests, Ketchikan clings to the shoreline of the Tongass Narrows, with shops and houses built out over the water. Ketchikan is one of the best spots along the Inside Passage to explore the rich cultural sights of Native Alaskan nations and you can see intricately carved totem poles at the Totem Heritage Center and Totem Bight State Park. Make sure to leave time to explore the sights in the town itself, including historic Creek Street, a boardwalk built over the Ketchikan Creek, where you can shop for souvenirs, smoked salmon, and local art.
Day 8
Inside Passage
Enjoy another day of scenic cruising as you sail back down the Inside Passage. Make sure you enjoy one last meal at your favourite onboard restaurant. With a wide variety of restaurants to choose from and an array of bars and lounges, a voyage with Celebrity Cruises takes you on a culinary journey like no other.
Day 9
Campbell River
Disemabrk your cruise and head to Vancouver Airport to catch a flight to Campbell River. This coastal city is located on the East coast of Vancouver Island and known as the ‘Salmon capital of the world’. Capture the spirit of Campbell River with a stroll in the sea breezes on Discovery Pier and you might see a salmon, eagle, or a whale.
Day 10
Knight Inlet Lodge
After a transfer from your hotel to the floatplane base, you will take a scenic 45 minute flight by floatplane to Knight Inlet Lodge. Once settled in at the lodge, and following a brief orientation, you will embark on a small boat excursion in the estuary. Two 2-hour tours follow in the afternoon; one of these tours is a bear viewing tour (by boat in the spring and summer and on a viewing platform in the fall), and the other will be a Knight Inlet sightseeing cruise. You will be accompanied on all excursions by a knowledgeable guide trained in the local wildlife and natural history of the area. In the evening relax in the lounge while enjoying an interpretive presentation by one of the guides.
Day 11
Knight Inlet Lodge
The adventure continues with a second full day at Knight Inlet Lodge. Participate in an extra bear viewing tour before choosing from an array of optional excursions such as a walking tour through the pristine Kwalate valley of an interpretative wildlife tracking tour. In the evening, enjoy another sumptious meal, served with local fine wines.
Day 12-13
Vancouver
On your day of departure you’ll have the opportunity to go on a final bear viewing boat excursion before your return transfer to Campbell River by floatplane, before flying on to Vancouver. You'll spend 2 nights in this vibrant city giving you plenty of opportunity to explore. Head over to Granville Island to discover a world of food, art and culture or take a shuttle bus over to the North Shore and the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge, hanging 70 metres over the Capilano River.
