Going to Alaska

I am excited as later this summer I am off to Alaska on a Celebrity cruise. I have booked it on board last April, a long time ago, but got a really good deal with a free drinks package and a good on board credit and it was such a low deposit (£89) and they even gave me $100 on board to spend immediately on the cruise I was at the time. It’s a very good option to book on board as we are the agents that still looking after you as the passenger and you get lots of incentives for booking on board. The prices have gone sky high since then, so I have got a bargain! We are sailing from Vancouver on the inner passage classic Itinerary on the Celebrity Infinity ship.

The Itinerary:

Vancouver, Icy Strait Point, Hubbard Glacier,Juneau,Ketchikan,Inside Passage,Vancouver.

We have booked various excursions in advance as it’s Alaska and you never know if any will still be available to book on board so it’s best to pre book them. It’s not cheap but who knows when I will be there again?

The ship looks really nice as you would expect from Celebrity. These below are some of the facilities on the Infinity:
