Celebrity Cruises just announced some of its new excursions for cruises going to Alaska. Celebrity will start its Alaskan cruise season this May and is unveiling about 158 excursions. Some of them caught our eye.<br /><ul><li>Did you ever see the Discovery show <em>The Deadliest Catch</em>? I loved it but it's a strange premise for a show. The viewer follows several crab boats as they work the icy and very dangerous waters of the Bering Sea. Celebrity is calling this excursion "The Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour" but they're using a ship from <em>The Deadliest Catch</em> to take passengers out in the relatively smooth waters off the southeaster portion of Alaska where they can travel in the ships and watch seasoned fishermen at work. This is a catch-and-release tour.</li><li>How about bear watching? Celebrity has a float plane tour to one of the few spots on earth where you can observe brown and black bear salmon fishing. Definitely not catch-and-release with these guys.</li><li>Lumberjack Show allows guests to see lumberjack competitions and tour an old Indian campsite.</li><li>White Pass Railway lets guests travel along the original railroad route traveled by gold diggers (the kind who dug for gold) in a railcar retro-fitted to be 1890s style.</li></ul><p> </p>
