Celebrity Cruises Alaska Profile

Celebrity Cruises


Since its inception in 1989, Celebrity Cruise Line has held true to its original commitment of taking the very best aspects of classic, elegant cruising and updating them to reflect current lifestyles. What sets Celebrity apart from other vacation choices today is the cruise line's passionate dedication to providing guests with a cruise experience that exceeds expectations. This extraordinary performance level has become the definition of Celebrity Cruises, and has set the worldwide standard for today's expression of what first made cruising famous - high quality, superior design, spacious accommodations, grand style, attentive service and exceptional cuisine.

Ships

Chic. Modern. Sophisticated. Celebrity cruise ships consistently rank among the best in the world. Every cruiser, from first-time to discerning, will enjoy the premium experience of a Celebrity cruise. Everything onboard has been designed to engage you, pamper you, and renew you. Their fleet combines modern-day technology with inspired style, world-class cuisine, luxurious accommodations and superlative service.

Accommodations

Celebrity Cruises Balcony Stateroom Guests discover a quiet, elegant refuge in their spacious Celebrity Stateroom. On Celebrity's newest vessels, you'll find that 80% of all staterooms offer an ocean view, and 74% of those have private balconies. All staterooms are handsome and well appointed, and include amenities such as 24-hour room service and the interactive Celebrity Network, where guests may view and select shore excursions, order room service or simply relax and watch a movie. In a Celebrity Suite, guests can enjoy private verandas and 24-hour butler service available at the touch of a button.

Dining

Morning may bring breakfast for two on your private veranda, with just-baked pastries and seasonal berries. In the afternoon you can savor the views along with delicate finger sandwiches at their Elegant Tea. And on special nights, Gourmet Bites include mini-beef Wellingtons and crisp tempura hand-carried and served by waiters throughout the ship.

Celebrity's award-winning dining experience reflects a dedication to fresh, exquisitely prepared gourmet cuisine. Under the guidance of Master Chef Michel Roux, Celebrity's culinary delights are made from scratch and seasoned with fresh herbs.
Celebrity Cruises Dining On a Celebrity Cruise, you'll find a number of dining options to suit your taste for the day. If you're in the mood for more traditional cruise ship-style dining, then dine in the elegant main dining room, which presents soaring ocean views, soft music and exquisite settings of china, white linen and crystal - with attentive, yet unobtrusive service from their European-trained staff.

Looking for something more casual? Then visit a poolside grill or cafe, or choose fresh gourmet pizza and complimentary 24-hour in-room service. And throughout your cruise, you'll find a dazzling array of specialties in themed buffets, displaying the artistry and culinary talents of Celebrity's chefs.

Finally, if you want something a little more unique, make reservations in one of Celebrity's Specialty Restaurants, where you'll find a dining experience like none other at sea. Each has a distinctively elegant atmosphere, harkening back to an age of truly gracious living, and featuring tableside service and the French culinary art of flamb. Your ship may offer the intimacy of a dine-in wine cellar and the open atmosphere of a demonstration kitchen. Or you may have chance to experience The Olympic, a stunning reproduction of the dining rooms that graced the magnificent ocean liners of the early 20th century.

Kids & Teens

Celebrity Cruises' award-winning Family Program offers onboard entertainment and activities for children and young adults. The four-tiered supervised youth programs are specially created for children ages 3-17, with entertainment and activities well suited for each group. Each morning, a daily program lists the day's activities, games, parties and more. And special areas are set aside for "kids only," such as the Shipmates Fun Factory, teen centers and pools. Guests can feel secure leaving their children with specially trained and educated Celebrity youth counselors.

Adding to the selection of exciting children activities, the latest component of the Family Cruising Program is Celebrity's Science Journeys. These six, hands-on educational voyages into science and nature allow kids to discover insects, experiment with sea life or explore the world of pirates, including Buccaneer's Bounty, which traces the history of pirates, sunken treasure and excavation. Created for children between the ages of 3-12, Science Journeys are offered daily and last from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
