Celebrity Cruises has modified a portion of its European lineup in 2012 to present a series of new and distinct vacations designed to appeal to wine enthusiasts, as well as those who simply love the beauty and culture of the top-producing wine regions in Europe.

Celebrity Cruises’ modern luxury – cool, contemporary design and warm spaces, award-winning cuisine and personalized service – is now available for vacationers to enjoy even longer through the new “Extend Your Stay” program.

Known for its culinary leadership and commitment to offering guests a modern, luxurious experience during their precious vacation time, Celebrity Cruises has expanded its already robust culinary talent by naming 2010 James Beard Foundation “Rising Star Chef” nominee and 2007 “Rising Star Chef of American Cuisine” John Suley as its director of Culinary Operations.

Known for its culinary leadership and commitment to offering guests the absolute best experience during their precious vacation time, Celebrity Cruises now invites them to take that experience home, with an immersive new book, Excite the Senses.

In a world where there is typically too much to do and too little time to do it, a vacation is a precious respite. It also presents the ideal time to indulge in a little leisurely shopping.

Celebrity Cruises wants its guests to spend more of their time enjoying their vacation on its luxurious ships, and less time arranging the details of what they are going to do onboard.
