FROM THE SHORES OF THE FRENCH RIVIERA TO THE RUGGED GALAPAGOS ISLANDS—LUXURY AWAITS

-

The world has so many captivatin­g places for modern travelers to experience, and there’s one way you can be sure to do that without leaving your love of the finer things in life behind. Celebrity Cruises has been offering luxury vacations for more than 30 years, and as they continue to transport guests all over the world, they continue to improve on that experience by designing and building some of the most innovative ships at sea.

WITH ITS NEWEST SHIP, CELEBRITY CRUISES REDEFINES LUXURY TRAVEL—AGAIN.

Welcome to a place where you can disconnect entirely while you reconnect with each other—and the world. This place is Celebrity Beyondsm. It’s the third ship in the revolution­ary Edge® Series by Celebrity Cruises®, and it takes their innovative outward-facing design further than ever, creating an even closer connection between you, the sea, and every exciting place on the horizon.

More space means more luxury to love—and more incredible outdoor escapes to discover. That includes a terraced Sunset Bar designed by Nate Berkus, with an internatio­nal beach club ambience and some of the best views on board. The reimagined Rooftop Garden now extends over the water’s edge with two cantilever­ed float pools soaring above the sea. And The Retreat® Sundeck, part of Celebrity’s ultimate luxury experience, now offers two levels of outdoor bliss.

In keeping with Celebrity’s passion for creating the best fine-dining experience at sea, Celebrity Beyond offers you a culinary journey like no other. Every menu is crafted by Celebrity’s Michelin-starred chef and inspired by the regions they visit. Explore 32 restaurant­s, bars and lounges on board, including Le Voyage, the first signature restaurant at sea by worldrenow­ned chef Daniel Boulud. A larger, redesigned Grand Plaza with a fully circular Martini Bar—always a hotspot—is the perfect gathering place for a

night on the town—miles out at sea.

Of course, all of the visionary spaces that have made Celebrity’s Edge Series ships so popular are making their return on Celebrity Beyond. Fly across the open ocean on the Magic Carpet®, a cantilever­ed platform where you can dine, drink and soak up the amazing views. Lounge away the day at the asymmetric­al, outward-facing pool area. Awaken all your senses at Eden, an ever-evolving venue wrapped in three-stories of glass. And find new ways to relax and rejuvenate at The Spa, where Celebrity has taken its dedication to holistic wellness to awe-inspiring new heights.

Be among the first to experience Celebrity Beyond, sailing the Mediterran­ean starting in April 2022 and the Caribbean in October 2022.

CELEBRITY CRUISES IS THE NATURAL CHOICE IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

Discover a corner of the world so awe-inspiring, it’s like you’ve left the planet completely. An archipelag­o time forgot—the breathtaki­ng Galapagos Islands. Come face-to-face with extraordin­ary creatures that have no natural fear of humans, including 100-year-old Galapagos giant tortoises, free-diving marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies and other exotic species found nowhere else on the planet. A visit here is nothing short of lifechangi­ng, so the experience calls for an equally extraordin­ary ship. That’s where Celebrity Cruises comes in.

Celebrity Flora® is the first luxury, mega-yacht designed specifical­ly for the Galapagos Islands. It’s innovative, outward-facing design means you never have to take your eyes off the unspoiled natural wonders around you, and the all-suites accommodat­ions and stunningly designed public spaces mean you’ll be spoiled with every luxury while on board. You’ll also enjoy a long list of premium amenities and services, including a Personal Suite Attendant to ensure you never have to lift a finger on vacation. In fact, everything you need to enjoy this incredible destinatio­n is included—daily shore excursions guided by certified naturalist­s, drinks and locally sourced cuisines from menus crafted by a Michelin-starred chef, just for starters.

Celebrity Flora offers unique experience­s that create a closer connection to the islands. Step into The Lab to learn more about the region’s ecosystem and Celebrity’s efforts to conserve it. Go camping at sea Celebrity style with Galapagos Glamping and enjoy an evening under the stars in stylish cabanas. Celebrity Flora even makes getting to and from the islands more seamless with custom-designed Novurania yacht tenders.

When exploring a place as precious as the Galapagos Islands, you want to know you’re traveling in good company. That’s why Celebrity Flora was designed to be one of the most eco-friendly ships in the region, with solar panels to supplement energy, a dynamic positionin­g system to protect the seabed from anchoring, and a reverse osmosis water system. Everything about this amazing ship was designed to make the guest experience better—while helping protect the environmen­t.
