To further enhance guests’ destination experience, in 2014, every ship in the Celebrity Cruises fleet will offer the services of a Destination Concierge, whose in-depth knowledge of the ports of call on every itinerary will allow the expert to guide Celebrity’s guests through every aspect of their adventures on land, or to create special excursions tailored precisely for individual guests’ preferences.

Celebrity Cruises will reveal full details of the breadth of itineraries and land-based adventures within Celebrity’s World Tour as each collection of itineraries opens for bookings this month.
