MUCH MORE THAN A CRUISE

There’s only one cruise line that truly sails beyond borders – Celebrity Cruises. And they do it all in modern luxury

-

You may already enjoy some of the finer things in life. Nights in five-star resorts, feasting on fine food and wine in top restaurant­s, treating yourself to a well-deserved pampering in a high-end spa... All of these indulgence­s – and more – can be enjoyed while sailing the world. The onboard comforts on any of Celebrity Cruises’ luxury ships are more than a match for the finest experience­s on land. More than 80% of Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice Class ships offer contempora­ry-style staterooms with balconies – more than any other cruise line. There are up to 13 distinctiv­e restaurant­s on board, with choices ranging from the fine French cuisine in Murano to the truly immersive dining experience at Qsine. Stay in one of the suites and you’ll have your own private restaurant and personal butler. The wines are impressive, too, with two-storey wine towers holding 18,000 bottles apiece and up to 400 vintages available. Celebrity Cruises also employs more than 200 expert sommeliers to help you steer a course.

SHIPSHAPE

Cruising on a Celebrity Cruises ship is all about lifestyle as well as modern luxury, and the famous Canyon Ranch Spa Club is the largest you’ll find at sea. Aside from a full menu of therapies you may choose simply to relax on a eucalyptus­scented, hot-stone lounger while gazing at the passing ocean. Fancy a walk in the park? No need to step ashore. Each Celebrity Cruises Solstice Class ship has half an acre of open deck planted with real grass where you can lie back with a picnic and enjoy live music. Cocktail hour? Step into an exotic, ice-topped bar and choose from 50 varieties of vodka martini – a first at sea!

GOING THE EXTRA MILE

This doesn’t just apply to the ships’ itinerarie­s. It also includes the attitude of their highly praised crews, trained to anticipate customers’ requiremen­ts and respond to them. Staff to guest ratios are one of the highest in the industry. Don’t be surprised, for example, when you’re enjoying some downtime beside the pool, to be offered a cold towel or a glass of iced tea. In a nutshell, if you’re someone who enjoys the good life ashore, you will find it all over the world with Celebrity Cruises.
