Thread: Photos of Glacier Bay while on Celebrity?

I read on another thread that "Celebrity has a rep of getting closer to the glaciers" at Glacier Bay (Nealberk). That got me thinking and was wondering if any of you out there might have some photos or input that you would like to share?


Hubby and I are going on an Alaskan cruise on the Zuiderdam this upcoming May, but I am just curious about Celebrity.

Thanks, as always

Well, we didn't go to Glacier Bay, but went to Hubbard Glacier. The time of year these pictures were taken was September and we were on the Summit. You can see how close our captain got us to the glacier. He slowly rotated the ship 360 degrees so everyone could get a good view of the glacier. We were there for about 45 minutes. It was wonderful!

We're going back to Alaska on the Infinity next May and can't wait!

Wow, that is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to share your photos, they are breathtaking

I see that you are a Celebrity fan, we are going on HAL because I fell in love with a certain aft-wrap veranda suite

Celebrity doesn't have the contract/permission to sail in Glacier Bay. Only a couple of cruise lines go there. It is strictly managed by the National Parks people to preserve it.

Have you seen this YouTube video of the Hubbard Glacier calving? We saw this in May from the Radiance of the Seas. That was a once in a lifetime experience!
