Religious Services - Alaska

[MississippiMom]

Do any of you happen to know if Celebrity offers any religious services during their Alaskan 7-day cruises?

Doubtful.  They only do services at Christmas and Easter.

If there is a priest traveling on your ship, they will offer Mass (usually at 7 AM) in one of the meeting rooms.

If you're interested in religious services, may I recommend looking into Holland America. Their ships are staffed with a Catholic priest who offers daily mass services. In addition, they schedule an interdenominational Protestant service on Sundays, as well as a Shabbat service on Fridays.

Look up a church in the ports the ship is visiting. You may be able to attend services locally.

Ketchikan does. They might even offer their "port to pew" shuttle service.

Holy Name Catholic Church | Ketchikan, AK (holynamektn.com)

We went to Mass there in Sept. 2021. No shuttle but kind parishioners offered to bring us back to the Millennium.

Juneau has a cathedral.

Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Juneau, AK (juneaucathedral.org)

Hope these links help. All I did to find them was google catholic church whatever port city.

Nor sure how we got specifically to Catholic, but there has often been a notice in the daily planner about a service on Sunday.  Have had priests, ministers and a rabbi. 

Definitely hit or miss especially if Sunday is a port day.  Probably 1/2 of our cruises

We’re any of these in Alaska specifically?

Sometimes, if there is a group of Bible Study participants onboard meeting on sea days, they are asked to do a Sunday service. We have held services jointly with a priest. I agree HAL is your best bet in Alaska. I haven't seen a mass on any other cruise line in recent years.

Celebrity docks essentially downtown in the Alaska ports.  For example Celebrity does not use Ward Cove in Ketchikan.  Would not be hard to walk to a local church in many Alaska ports.
