Thanks, everyone, for sharing the gorgeous pics and recommendations! I want to do it all, of course, and hopefully we'll get to go back and hit whatever we miss next year.

I know Miller's well! 😁 Thanks for the wonderful tips! I will definitely pack binoculars!

I appreciate everyone's input so much. I think this is a great suggestion. Hubbard this time, Skagway on a future trip...I already have a sneaking suspicion I'll fall in love with Alaska. 🙂

Thank you so much for the great tips! Already putting those pants in my Amazon cart. 😀

My husband and I are looking to book a 7-day, round-trip cruise from Vancouver on the Celebrity Solstice for our anniversary in June 2025. It would be our first time to Alaska and our first Celebrity sailing. Both itineraries include the Inside Passage, Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan, and are priced similarly. The first itinerary includes: Skagway Endicott Arm/Dawes Glacier While the second offers up: Hubbard Glacier Juneau Which would you choose for a first-timer? We will definitely want to do a whale watching excursion (most likely out of ISP), and if we were to do Skagway, I'd likely book the railway, too. Just torn about Hubbard vs Skagway. I'd love to see a calving glacier up close, and Hubbard looks more impressive than Dawes/Endicott Arm. But I also love the idea of seeing some of the inland Yukon territory, too. Thank you for any help you can offer me!
