13-Night Great Alaskan Frontier Expedition

Celebrity Millennium CruiseTour

May 26-June 8, 2018

America’s Last Great Frontier We’ve all seen photos and television programs featuring Alaska but somehow they

simply cannot due justice to the vast wilderness and majesty of Alaska. Unfortunately,

most visitors to Alaska don’t venture far inland and miss much of what makes our 49th

and largest state special. For example, Denali National

Park encompasses 9,500 square miles where you will

find only one road, North America’s tallest mountain

and, if you’re lucky, moose, bear, eagles and even more

wildlife. Alaska’s wilderness is simply awesome!

An Alaska CruiseTour, that combines a land tour to

the heart of Denali, as well as inland cities and villages,

with a premium cruise along Alaska’s southeast coast, is

the best way to explore America’s last great frontier.

You will visit indigenous Indian villages, ride the rails of the Alaskan Railroad, pan

for gold, go whale watching and enjoy other exciting included and optional activities

during a six-day group tour hosted by a Celebrity professional guide. From Fairbanks

you will journey through the heart of Alaska to Seward, before boarding the premium-

class Millennium ocean liner for a 7-night coastal cruise to Vancouver. You will see the

ice fields of Hubbard Glacier and visit the gold rush towns of Ketchikan, Skagway and

Juneau, the state capital. This travel opportunity is described on the following pages.

Your Alaskan Expedition begins under the

midnight sun your upon arrival in Fairbanks.

Exploring Fairbanks means participating in the day-

to-day experiences that have contributed to

Fairbanks referring to itself as ‘extremely Alaska’.

For example, you can immerse yourself in the same

hot springs where more than a century ago gold

miners found a reprieve from the near-freezing

creeks where they panned for gold. Or pan for gold

yourself in one of the many creeks that still turn up

flakes of gold.

Admire the enduring native art treasures on display

at the Museum of the North, whose shimmering

contours reflect the mountain ranges that encircle

it. With the locals playing late into the night, like

the midnight sun baseball game held every solstice,

your options to explore are as lengthy as the long

summer nights.

Hugging the northern bank of the Chena River that

converges with the unyielding Tanana, the Chena

sternwheelers that navigate Fairbanks’s waters

afford breathtaking views of the city and country-

side, while also offering a glimpse into Alaska’s rich

interior traditions. You will board the riverboat

Discovery for a cruise down the river to a native

Indian village, pet Husky puppies and learn how a

bush pilot lands his plane on the river.

And as the gateway to the Arctic, Fairbanks is rich

with the history of Alaska’s pioneers, and offers a

window into their authentic Alaskan way of life that

still exists today.

Nestled on the banks of the Chena, Pike’s Water-

front Lodge, with scenic views and easy access to

downtown attractions—your lodging in Fairbanks

Riverboat Discovery sternwheeler cruise on the Chena

On Day Three, you will board the Wilderness

Express, a doom-top Alaska Railroad car for the

scenic ride to Denali and the Denali Park Village,

near the park entrance.

You will learn

about the park and

explore portions of

Denali’s only road

(92 miles long).

There are nature

trails near the

lodge and several

optional excursions to heighten your experience

during your two nights there.

Your next overnight stop is

Talkeetna, which is yours to

discover. Explore the nature

trails surrounding the lodge or

you can mill with the hippies,

aviators and adventures who

call the town home.

The Wilderness Express takes

you next to Anchorage where

you will visit the Anchorage

Museum of native art and arti-

facts before exploring the “big

apple” of the north on your

own.

Your final rail journey ends in

fishing village of Seward.

CruiseTour Itinerary

Celebrity Millennium

Launched in 2001 to mark the new Millennium, the premium

class Celebrity Millennium received a grand makeover in

2016, which added the Celebrity iLounge, an ice-topped

Martini Bar, Café al Bacio & Gelateria, a Cellar Masters Wine

Bar and the unique Qsine specialty restaurant. Its Rooftop

Terrace gives you a chic way to experience the great out-

doors, with creative cocktails, favorite snacks, and movies

alfresco. This 9,100-ton ocean liner hosts 2,138 guests and

sports a maximum cruising speed of 24 knots. Upgraded

accommodations, excellent dining, onboard entertainment

and activities make Millennium the best choice for cruising

Alaskan waters on the second half of your CruiseTour.

In Seward, you will board

the Millennium and, during your

first full-day aboard, cruise the

Hubbard Glacier ice fields.

In Juneau, the state Capital, you may go whale

watching, explore a second glacier or experience

other optional excursions off the ship. Be sure to

lunch at the Red Dog Saloon, if you can get in.

You also can take a tram up a mountain for a

great view overlooking the city.

Next, you will visit the heart of the 1898 gold

rush when you arrive in Skagway. The Yukon

and White Pass railroad offers an exciting trip up

the mountain into Canada (take your passport).

Before retuning to the ship, you also should

explore Skagway’s downtown looking for native

craft shops not just souvenir shops.

At Icy Strait Point, you will visit a Tlingit

village and experience the native culture of

these Northwest Coast people. Alternatively, you

might brave the 1,800-foot Zip-Line drop, or go

fishing for Halibut or Salmon for half a day.

Ketchikan is another fishing village, where you

may explore the town, take in a lumberjack

demonstration, or visit a Totem Pole village.

You will cruise the Inside Passage en route to

Vancouver, B.C. on your final full day. You will

appreciate the Alaska naturalist onboard, who

provides daily lectures throughout the cruise.
