Celeb campaign launch

-

CELEBRITY Cruises has launched a global advertisin­g campaign, introducin­g consumers to its unique relaxed “luxury resort at sea” offerings.

The cruise line’s new campaign brings to life the “FULLness” of the journey on a Celebrity voyage, which promises to take viewers to places they’ve never been before; from new destinatio­ns around the world to new cruise ship design; and from unrivalled culinary experience­s to unparallel­ed wellbeing at sea.

The campaign uses “powerFULL” visuals to bring to life each of the experience­s as a journey unto themselves: watching the sun set over the ocean at the aptly named Sunset Bar is a Journey BeautiFULL; yoga at sea on the ship’s resort deck becomes Journey MindFULL; a decadent meal crafted by Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud unfolds as Journey FlavorFULL; exploring the rich culture of a new destinatio­n comes alive as Journey ColorFULL; and Celebrity’s renowned service comes to life as Journey ThoughtFUL­L.

The new campaign is now appearing on all media channels, including television, digital & social media, and comes at a time when people are beginning to think ahead to travelling more in the new year.

“Celebrity Cruises has always been a trailblaze­r and we are once again leading the industry and putting the guest at the centre of the experience­s we create,” said President & Chief Executive Officer Lisa Lutoff-Perlo.

“While the words in this campaign are powerful, what it really brings to life is the way we focus on our guests and create an experience that completely enriches the way they see the world.”

“What better way to see the best places in the world, than on the best places in the world, our Celebrity ships.”

MEANWHILE, the cruise line has broken more ground in New Zealand, with Celebrity Eclipse

becoming the first ship to call in Christchur­ch’s purpose-built cruise facility (pictured).

As the first ship to visit Christchur­ch since early 2020, the arrival of Eclipse also marks the city’s return to cruise.

Celebrity Vice President & Managing Director APAC Tim Jones, Christchur­ch City Mayor Phil Mauger, Lyttelton Port Company dignitarie­s, and the executive team of Eclipse were present for an official plaque exchange to celebrate the longawaite­d milestone.

“Someday is finally here,” Jones enthused.

“These have been challengin­g times for those of us who are reliant on the travel and hospitalit­y industry, but today is a day of tremendous hope and optimism as we celebrate the restart of cruise tourism in Christchur­ch,” he added.

“We are incredibly proud to be at the forefront of the restart, having worked hand in glove with the local communitie­s, port authoritie­s, and our valued travel partners who we wouldn’t be here today without, as we worked towards our common goal of showing guests they can Journey WonderFULL in this region once more.”

It is the second such celebratio­n in as many days for Eclipse, which commemorat­ed cruise’s return to Dunedin on Wed (CW 27 Oct).
