2025 Independent Alaska Cruise Adventure
2025 *INDEPENDENT* ALASKA CRUISE
Missed Out? Not Yet! Your Chance to Sail to Alaska Before It’s Too Late!

Stateroom availability is very limited (and in some cases sold out!), but I have LIMITED CABINS available until THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2025!

Once you decide on your dates & stateroom location, I'll help you with your airfare and pre-night in Seattle.


Then you'll step aboard the Celebrity Edge and head to Alaska, sailing seven-nights with stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, & Skagway, Alaska and Victoria, BC with sightseeing at Endicott Arm Fjord, Dawes Glacier, and the Inside Passage.


This year, I'll be cheering you on and supporting you from back home.

Comments regarding Kathy's performance during the trip.

It was nice to know my travel agent was close by if I had any questions.


Please rate Celebrity Cruises overall

5 - WOW!!! It blew me away!


Comments regarding Celebrity Cruises:

Every thing about the Celebrity was great! I was amazed by the food. My last cruise was at least twenty years ago and I don't remember the food being good. The cleanliness of the ship was awesome. The only thing I found shocking was the small gift shop. The shopper in me would have liked more but then again I spent less money 💰


Was this your first cruise?

No, but it's been a while


Please rate this Alaska Cruise group trip overall, from start to finish.

5 - WOW!!! It blew me away!


Comments regarding your overall trip experience:

I highly recommend this cruise from beginning to end. We didn't get off the ship when docked in British Columbia due to the short time. I know this is out of your control but I could have skipped this and shortened the cruise by a day.

What to Expect

  • Book your airline tickets to arrive on June 19, 2025, the day before the cruise. Kathy can help make arrangements if needed. Alaska Air usually has nonstop flights from Omaha for about $500 per person.
  • You'll have the day to yourselves to wander the waterfront, check out the Space Needle, or immerse yourselves in the beauty of the Chihuly Gardens.
  • One night at a waterfront hotel is suggested, to allow a buffer for any (knock on wood) flight delays.
  • The following morning, you'll take a quick 15 minute Lyft/Uber ($) to the cruise pier, drop your checked bags with porters, & board your ship!
  • Your stateroom will be your headquarters for the next week, so go ahead an unpack and make yourself at home.
  • During the cruise, you can choose to have a set dining time or just play it by ear. Dining room, Specialty dining, Cafe's, Room Service... you do you.
  • Before departure, you'll have the opportunity to book shore excursions. The sooner, the better, if you want to visit the sled dogs or take a helicopter tour! They sell out quickly.
  • At the end of the cruise, June 20, 2025, your best bet is to take Celebrity's bus back to the airport. ($)
  • If you feel like you need more time in Seattle either before or after the cruise, let me know! I can arrange this, as well.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Your package will include all travel arrangements and guidance, 7-night cruise aboard the Celebrity Edge, and lots of free time to explore all that is Alaska! I'll also be there for you if you have any questions or need assistance.

Celebrity isn't known for being a cruise line that caters to kids, so this is more adult-centric without the "floating waterpark" busy-ness. That being said, Celebrity requires that at least one person in each cabin is 21 or older. An exception may be possible for underage married couples, as long as they are both 18.

At this time, there are no covid-19 restrictions or testing required for this itinerary. This is subject to change, based solely on the discretion of each destination & supplier.

  • You are required to have a Passport Booklet (not card), with 2 blank pages, that's valid least 6 months past your intended stay.
  • Please take the time now to locate your passport and check the expiration date.
