Ship guide · Celebrity Summit at Icy Strait Point
Celebrity Summit calls at Icy Strait Point on a weekly rotation through the 2026 season, with a standard morning-to-afternoon call that gives you 8 to 10 hours ashore.
Celebrity Summit is a Millennium-class ship — 965 feet long, carrying about 2,218 passengers — that entered service in 2001 and went through an extensive refurbishment in 2019 covering every cabin on board. It calls at Icy Strait Point on a standard morning-to-afternoon schedule most weeks of the 2026 Alaska season, the more predictable of the two Celebrity ships visiting the port (its running mate, Celebrity Solstice, arrives in the early afternoon instead).

Plan my call
Getting into town
A flat, roughly 1.5-mile shoreline path connects the pier to downtown Hoonah, typically 25–45 minutes each way. Full terrain, landmark, and accessibility details are on our walking + shuttle guide.
A shuttle runs whenever a ship is in port, about a 5-minute ride, typically sold as a round-trip ticket at the Icy Strait Point ticket booth near the donut shack.
Ocean Landing is a direct dock, not a tender operation, so you can start walking or catch the shuttle as soon as you're cleared to disembark.
