Welcome to our latest blog.
Picture


We are excited to return to Crystal Serenity for two back-to-back cruises. The first cruise sails Alaska starting and ending in Vancouver. This is followed by a second cruise starting in Vancouver and ending in Los Angeles.

We first visited Alaska in 1997 and 1998 on two different Celebrity Cruises.  Since then, we have sailed Alaska several times.

​We have so many wonderful memories of Alaska. Our first cruise with Crystal was on-board Crystal Harmony sailing Alaska R/T San Francisco in July of 2002. We celebrated on this cruise with our family a major Wedding Anniversary milestone.  Since then, we sailed Alaska on Crystal Symphony also R/T San Francisco and multiple times on Serenity This includes our last Alaska cruise in 2016 as part of back-to-back cruises which included the transit of the Northwest Passage.  
​
The itinerary follows:


8/9    Vancouver
8/10  Vancouver
8/11  Vancouver
8/12  Vancouver
8/13  Vancouver (Embark Serenity)
8/14  Cruising Seymore Narrows
8/15  Kethikan
8/16  Cruising Tracy Arm
8/17  Skagway
8/18  Sitka
8/1    Inside Passage
8/20  Victoria
8/21  Vancouver
8/22  Astoria
8/23  Sea Day
8/24  San Francisco
8/25  San Francisco
8/26  Sea Day
8/27  Los Angeles (Debark Serenity)


A little over one year ago we were on the inaugural sailing of Crystal Serenity as part of new Crystal. The video which follows was filmed on the shakedown cruise in July of 2023 and on the July 31, 2023 inaugural cruise which was the first of two cruises we took when Crystal reemerged.
When the adventure begins we plan to Blog each day. 

We enjoy your comments so please feel free to provide comments whenever you want and we promise to read all of them.

​Happy cruising.

Cheers,

​Anne Marie & Keith

Dick and I just finished this same B2B cruise, but going in the opposite direction. You are sure to have a wonderful time. We did!

Lots of kids on board (68) but all well-behaved.

Keith, I hope you have a wonderful cruise on the Serenity! I enjoyed a similar itinerary last month. I’m so glad you’ll be posting on your always excellent blog. I’ll be following along. And thank you again for introducing me to Crystal through the blog and Cruise Critic. Once I finally experienced Crystal last November, I was quickly Crystallized. I felt like I could live happily on board. Best wishes to you both!

Enjoy fully as I know you both will. We board as you disembark. We were on the Symphony on similar BTB to Alaska from Vancouver. Loved the long days sitting aft enjoying sunset and very calm seas.

Wishing the two of you another pair of wonderful cruises. We remember doing those cruises a couple of times over the years. While you are there we will be elsewhere in the world, but will enjoy sailing vicariously with you, as we often do....the price for doing so is perfect for our finances! Safe and memorable travels!
