Can’t decide between a big ship cruise and a luxury sailing? Enjoy the best of both worlds with Celebrity Cruises!
Founded in 1989, this revolutionary line put its own spin on upmarket cruising, bringing it into the modern era. Then, in 1997, cruising giant Royal Caribbean acquired the brand and has since turned Celebrity Cruises’ exciting luxury offerings up a notch. Today the cruise line offers a range of fabulous ships, with dazzling entertainment, wonderful activities and delicious dining- all with a focus on delivering “Relaxed Luxury Resorts At Sea”, classy cruising without complication.
