Traveler Advice

How to Choose an Excursion Before Returning to Celebrity Solstice

1. Confirm Your Morning Arrival Time: Cross-reference your ship’s daily program on arrival day. Port hours can shift slightly due to coastal tides or harbor traffic.

2. Account for Meeting Location Logistics: Independent excursions typically depart from downtown tour lots (such as the Mt. Roberts Tram plaza in Juneau or the Visitors Center in Ketchikan). If Celebrity Solstice is berthed at an outer dock (such as AJ Dock or Ward Cove), budget 15–25 minutes for the port shuttle.

3. Book with Cruise-Friendly Operators: Choose operators offering free cancellation if weather or navigational issues prevent docking.
