Doubtful. They only do services at Christmas and Easter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bead Pirate Posted April 11 #3 Share Posted April 11 If there is a priest traveling on your ship, they will offer Mass (usually at 7 AM) in one of the meeting rooms. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted April 11 #4 Share Posted April 11 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted April 11 #5 Share Posted April 11 Look up a church in the ports the ship is visiting. You may be able to attend services locally. MJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted April 11 #6 Share Posted April 11 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted April 11 #7 Share Posted April 11 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markanddonna Posted April 12 #10 Share Posted April 12 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted April 13 #11 Share Posted April 13 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
