Celebrity Equinox to Debut in Alaska in 2028

The Celebrity Equinox will make its debut in Alaska in 2028, according to Celebrity Cruises' recently released deployment.

Joining the Celebrity Edge and the Celebrity Millennium, the Solstice-class ship will offer open-jaw cruises that also sail to Canada.

Celebrity said the seven-night itineraries will operate between Vancouver and Seward, giving guests “access to local cultures, snow-covered peaks, glaciers and coastal towns.â€

The Celebrity Millennium will return to North America for roundtrip cruises from Vancouver, after spending the last few years in Asia.

The Celebrity Edge, meanwhile, will operate its fifth consecutive summer in Alaska and Canada.

The company said the three-ship season will allow “guests to immerse themselves in Alaska's landscapes and wildlife.â€

Guests on the Celebrity Equinox can extend their trip with a land-based tour led by guides with local ties to the region.

Celebrity said the experience includes stays at lodges and travel along remote roads and railways, stopping in Anchorage, Talkeetna and Denali.

In addition to debuting in the region, the Celebrity Equinox is also scheduled to offer new roundtrip cruises to Hawaii from Los Angeles.

Bookings for the new Alaska and Hawaii sailings will be available to the public starting on September 1, 2026.

Celebrity's 2028 deployment is highlighted by increased capacity in Europe and Asia, with the Celebrity Solstice spending its first summer sailing in Japan.

The company will also see the Celebrity Ascent return to the United Kingdom, joining an eight-ship lineup for itineraries to Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.

With four Edge-class ships sailing in the region, the deployment will mark Celebrity's largest season in Europe.

Celebrity is planning itineraries in Canada, New England and Bermuda as well, with the Celebrity Summit sailing from Boston and Cape Liberty.
