Making the Olympics unmissable

Celebrity Reflection℠ introduces suites with more Modern Luxury℠

Imagine…sipping a full-bodied Bordeaux, as the sun sets over a picturesque French vineyard. Or sitting down to a fabulous food and wine pairing dinner in the vibrant Spanish city of Bilbao.

That’s just a snapshot of the experiences guests will find on our new Immersive Wine tours, which visit some of Europe’s finest wine producing regions.

Great for everyone who adores food and wine, these tours sail from the 7 Sep through to 18 Nov on Celebrity Constellation®.

The 2012 Olympic Games will be seen by more than one billion people worldwide, and guests sailing with Celebrity Cruises® this year can be amongst them. Live events and highlights can be enjoyed from the luxurious comfort of a stateroom or as part of the crowd in selected bars and lounges.

Celebrity Reflection℠, launching in October this year, features a fabulous array of new suite accommodation...simply put, the most sumptuous, state of the art retreats at sea.

On Celebrity Reflection® we are introducing AquaClass® suites, with their unparalleled access to AquaSpa® facilities and the Blu restaurant, and our elite Signature and Reflection suites.

With their breathtaking floor to ceiling windows, butler service

Developed in partnership with exceptional local wineries, each tour features special on shore excursions, matched by fabulous on board experiences, such as wine pairing dinners and guided tastings.

We are also offering a very special cruise on 13 Oct 2012, hosted by leading wine expert Oz Clarke. He will share his extensive knowledge of wine over a series of exclusive events – an experience not to be missed!

and spacious balcony areas, our Signature suites are stunning.

The new Reflection suites are incredibly relaxing spaces – beautifully proportioned two bedroomed accommodation.

The Reflection suites feature exceptional bathrooms, which extend out over the edge of the ship. Including a veranda tub and soothing rain shower, and incredible panoramic views, they promise to make relaxing in the bath a unique experience!

Alongside the Reflection’s other suite options, Signature and Reflection represent the pinnacle of innovation in guest accommodation. Every detail is perfect…from luxury bed linens to access to the most up-to-date technology, from advanced sleep systems to the ultimate, personalised butler service. We look forward to welcoming the first guests to these fabulous new suites onboard Reflection…truly the very best of Modern Luxury℠, and an unforgettable experience.

Solsticizations bring even more Modern Luxury℠ in 2012

Celebrity Summit® is the latest Solsticized ship to launch and includes a whole list of fabulous new features: the new AquaClass® guest accommodation, soothing and rejuvenating retreats with great access to our spa and chic, Mediterranean-themed specialist restaurant Blu; the very hip Celebrity iLounge℠ and unique and inspiring Qsine®.

Qsine®, debuted on Celebrity Eclipse® last year, is the first restaurant of its kind, giving guests the option to order on an iPad. This has been getting great reviews from not only our guests, but the travel trade press too. We are delighted that it’s been described as “the latest and most innovative restaurant” and “entertainment and dining rolled into one”.

Qsine® is just one of many incredible new dining and entertainment venues. The Martini

We also know you’ll be keen to entice your customers to experience our $140 million Solsticization for themselves.

We’ve had a fantastic start to the year, with all Millennium℠ Class ships having been through our $140 million Solsticization programme. We are incredibly pleased with the way the fleet is looking, but most important to us is the feedback we’re getting from our guests… They’ve rushed to tell us how delighted they are with the Modern Luxury℠ changes we’ve made.

We know you’ve been anticipating the arrival of the 2013/14 Worldwide Cruises brochure with its incredible value itineraries spanning 88 stunning destinations across 25 countries, plus, new for 2013 – two ships sailing from the UK.

Bar and Crush is quite simply the coolest bar at sea. Cellar Masters, complete with its “Enomatic” state of the art wine serving system, is not only groundbreaking, but also a great place to hang out. And The Lawn Club Grill, with a fabulous real grass lawn, is proving a big hit.

We are dedicated to ensuring guests feel the Modern Luxury℠ difference in every part of their cruise...from new décor and colour schemes, our great new venues, through to our luxuriously appointed guest accommodation.

The launch of Celebrity Reflection℠ later this year is not only exciting, but shows just how important this commitment is for us. We look forward to bringing the Modern Luxury℠ experience to even more guests on our fabulous and beautifully Solsticized ships.

Launching in October this year to complete our Solstice Class®, Celebrity Reflection℠ is the embodiment of luxury. This stunning ship boasts an extra deck, giving you expanded public spaces to enjoy alongside new features such as AquaClass® suites, The Lawn Club and the Alcoves – shaded cabana-style retreats for up to four people.

It should come as no surprise then that the International Interior Design Association herald our ships as a ‘new benchmark in cruise ship design’.
