British Open With Celebrity

You will never find a better time to plan a Celebrity Cruise to Europe than right now.

There is good availability on most itineraries, including the British Isles.

Are you an avid golfer? Then you'll love their British Open Cruise, with overnight in Glasgow to make it possible to attend the finale in person, after you've watched specially catered broadcast viewings en route. Plus, there will be special golf clinics and a festive cocktail party where you can pick up tips on how to improve your game from three golf pros.

But even if you're not a golfer, you'll appreciate all the wonderful ports, including a second overnight stay in the Beatles' home town of Liverpool, while all the while living in Modern Luxury.

Right now, on most Celebrity Cruises you can choose four great amenities:

Free Classic Beverage Package

Free Pre-paid Gratuities

Free Unlimited Internet for Two

$300 On Board Credit

You get all four of these when you choose a Suite, whether designated Sky, Celebrity, Signature, Royal or Penthouse.

If you don't require additional pampering and spaciousness of a Suite, you can still "Go Best" with all the amenities above for a modest additional fee.

Most people staying in Ocean View, Verandah, Concierge and Aqua Class choose to simply "Go Better," which currently gives you a choice of any TWO amenities at no additional charge. By the way, this promotion to Go Better for the price of "Go Big" (one amenity) is scheduled to end on January 31, so don't procrastinate.

In addition, when you book your air with Celebrity, not only do you simplify your plans, you may find that you save money on your flights.

There are lots of other great destinations across the pond. How about Scandinavia/Russia, the Mediterranean or the Greek Islands?

Celebrity has perhaps the best large ships for sophisticated adults who apprciate truly outstanding dining and service.

Apple fans love the only Apple Stores at sea, where you can buy new gear duty free and take classes to teach you how to control that amazing technology at your finger tips.

And now, Celebrity has eliminated formal nights, making it easier to pack for your next great vacation.

Below is a great video overview of cruising the British Isles, though as you'll note, it happens to be for Princess Cruises.  If you read my last article, you probably won't be surprised to learn that Princess does more cruises in the British Isles than anyone else, and they do a terrific job there, so if a Celebrity Cruise won't quite fit your vacation schedule or personal preferences, you would still be in good hands with Princess.



Cheerio!
