Celebrity Millennium Alaska Cruise – Part 1

Just back from my second trip to Alaska, both on Celebrity Millennium. This trip was almost 1 year to the day of my first trip to the great state, but this time I took the southward itinerary from Seward (starting in Anchorage first) down to Vancouver. I didn’t take as many pictures this time, mostly because I covered that my previous time there (I’ll post those in the near future).

Let’s start with a few pictures taken along the way on the trip from Anchorage to Seward on the bus (took the train last year from Seward to Anchorage, which was most excellent).

Day 1 of the voyage visited the Hubbard Glacier, which is nothing short of tremendous. The glacier seemed a little more fragile than last year even though it was still an incredible 7 miles long and towered over the ship by about 500 feet! It was overcast that day, which actually made everything easy on the eyes and much easier to see. The Captain was able to bring the ship as close to the glacier as legally possible, then made a couple of sweeping 360 degree turns so everyone could get a look.

There’s a lot more to see, and I’ll be showing it too you in Alaska Cruise Part 2.
