CELEBRITY CRUISING – MODERN LUXURY AT ITS BEST

Kirsty Heath on 18 August 2014
The moment you step onto a Celebrity Cruise ship the luxury, service and pampering envelops you in what can only be described as a warm hug of relaxation! Your luggage is taken off your hands at check-in and replaced with a cold glass of welcome on-board champagne. While the rooms are readied and your luggage delivered you’re invited to lie on a sun lounger at the pool deck while a waiter panders to your every need and the restaurant smells entice you to enjoy a lunch of just about anything you could think of. Or, if you don’t feel like lounging about, there are roughly 8 floors of ship to explore and orient yourself with. The cabins are large enough to be comfortable, with the suites and balcony suites beyond comfortable, they are luxurious. Even in the inside cabin – which we travelled in – the beds are soft and super comfortable, the space sufficient for two people to not have to squeeze past each other, and the shower divine. When on a cruise the cabin is really not the place you’ll be spending most of your time but Celebrity has really ensured the cabins are comfortable and spacious enough. So what makes Celebrity different – why choose Celebrity? Celebrity is not just a cruise! Travelling on a Celebrity ship is a lifestyle choice. It means good wine and food are important to you, it means that health and wellness are a part of your everyday life, and that the gym, spa and healthy meal choices are what you are looking for. Destinations are important to Celebrity, so when you’re travelling on a Celebrity Ship be assured that the destinations you’re travelling to are chosen to ensure the passenger can get the most out of their trip, with more overnight stays than any other cruise company, and day trips that allow for maximum sightseeing both coastal and inland. So when you’re on your next Celebrity Cruise ship, indulging in your passions, remember to give Q sine restaurant a go. At $50 per person additional charge, the culinary guides will take you on a round the world taste sensation while you enjoy the Alice in Wonderland esque decor and attentive service. The Martini flight at the Martini bar is a $20 drinks show. Your barman will amaze you while he pours 6 martini tasters in one go. There is no shortage of bars, lounges, after dinner theatre shows, with Celebrity bringing the Celebrities on-board to entertain you. Bring the kids along too. There is fantastic childcare and day activities on-board the ship. Let your teens play the latest X Box games, or learn how to make, edit and show a GOPRO short film of their own making. The little ones are kept entertained with the best in educational and fun activities. Your kids may just run right past you while on a ship wide treasure hunt. Families are important too, and mom and dad will most definitely be able to relax on-board a Celebrity ship. For the couple or young families that enjoy travelling multiple destinations but hate repeatedly having to unpack and get settled, for the people who enjoy the finer things in life, and for those who want to combine travel with their other passions – then Celebrity cruising is the ideal holiday.
