Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently went on a seven night Alaskan cruise on the Celebrity Edge, and I'm here today to share with you guys all the tips, tricks, pros, and cons that you need to know before you choose the Celebrity Edge for your Alaskan sailing.

There are outstanding scenic viewing options, which is a huge win for your Alaskan cruise.

The Celebrity Edge, this is a huge pro for me personally. It's modern. It has a luxurious feel without feeling over stuffy.

I definitely am going to be traveling on more Celebrity cruises just because of this modern luxurious feel that I got from being on the Celebrity Edge.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an Infinite Veranda room for Alaska to enjoy amazing views from your cabin, especially on glacier day.
Consider the ship's size when researching specific port stops and glacier access.
If traveling with someone with mobility impairments, communicate with the shore excursions desk in advance to avoid being left behind.
