Celebrity's Caribbean Bliss For 2014-15

Celebrity Cruises have announced another set of destination-rich, modern luxury cruise holidays for their 2014-15 season, opening with “Priority Access” and exclusive offers for members of Celebrity’s Captain’s Club loyalty programme on a variety of Caribbean getaways.

Six ships will provide guests with Celebrity's modern luxury ambience, on a collection of itineraries visiting 25 destinations in 19 countries. Every ship in the region will feature the cruise line's popular, spa-inspired AquaClass accommodations, whose guests enjoy exclusive access to the speciality restaurant, Blu, and complimentary access to the Persian Garden and Relaxation Room in the AquaSpa. 

From Miami and Fort Lauderdale in Florida, Celebrity will have the youngest fleet of ships presenting seven-night itineraries, and an incredible variety for guests to choose from, with 4, 5, 7, 10, 11 and 14-night Caribbean holidays. Newest ship Celebrity Reflection – with its all-glass shower in the luxurious Reflection Suite, along with entirely new AquaClass Suites and Signature Suites – will offer 7-night Eastern Caribbean sailings round-trip from Miami on Saturdays from November 2014 to April 2015, with visits to some of the region’s most popular ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas; and St. Maarten.

Celebrity Silhouette – the first ship to present the interactive Lawn Club Grill – will offer alternating 7-night Western and Eastern Caribbean itineraries every Sunday from Fort Lauderdale. The Western itinerary will visit Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; Falmouth, Jamaica; and the company’s private island destination of Labadee. The Eastern version will visit San Juan, St. Kitts and St. Maarten.

Celebrity Summit will return to San Juan for her seventh consecutive season of 7-night Caribbean itineraries from October 2014 to April 2015, visiting marquee ports in the Eastern Caribbean, as well as the exotic islands of Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada and St. Lucia.

Speciality Dining with Celebrity

Celebrity Cruises plans to add speciality dining venue Qsine to Celebrity Infinity. Launched onboard Celebrity Eclipse (above) last year, Qsine is the first restaurant at sea to offer guests a menu and wine list on an iPad.

Infinity will actually emerge from drydock on December 3 with two new restaurants, as Qsine replaces the former Conservatory and Flower Shop and Blu, the Mediterranean-themed speciality restaurant, is added on deck 5.

Along with the addition of Qsine, the following features will be found onboard Celebrity Cruises Infinity

• AquaClass accommodations – marking a Millennium-Class ‘first’ – allowing guests on Infinity to experience the brand’s popular spa-inspired accommodations and amenities
• Mediterranean-themed specialty restaurant, “Blu,” offered exclusively for AquaClass guests
• The Celebrity iLounge, which debuted on Eclipse and made Celebrity Cruises the industry’s first Authorised Apple Reseller
• New verandas added to the ship’s spacious Celebrity Suites
• Additional new oceanview and inside staterooms
• More suites, with all new furniture, flat-screen TVs, bedding and carpeting
• Restyled staterooms, with entirely new carpeting, flat-screen TVs and bedding
• Expanded collection of original, contemporary art
• New ice-topped Martini Bar and Crush
• Vibrant creperie, Bistro on Five
• Café al Bacio and Gelateria
• Cellarmasters wine bar, complete with the “Enomatic” state-of-the-art wine serving system – an industry-first when it debuted on Celebrity Solstice – allowing guests to select wines by the glass, at the touch of a button.

The company currently plans to similarly refurbish Celebrity Summit in January 2012, followed by Millennium in April 2012. The already-revitalised Constellation will be further refitted with the additional offerings in April 2013.
