Travelers looking for an
easy-to-access, quick getaway featuring extraordinary service, premium
accommodations and outstanding culinary offerings in a comfortably
sophisticated environment will soon have quite a few more opportunities
to reward themselves. Beginning in May of 2010, the 1,814-guest,
recently refurbished Celebrity Century will offer its popular four-
and five-night Caribbean itineraries year-round instead of limiting
them to the winter season. Celebrity Century's 2010-11 sailings opened
for sale today. Since 2005, Celebrity Century has sailed in Europe
in the summer, and in the Caribbean in the winter. After kicking off
her new year-round Caribbean status on May 3, 2010 with a one-time
seven-night Western Caribbean sailing featuring stops at George Town,
Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; Playa del Carmen, Mexico; and the line’s
private-destination island, CocoCay, Bahamas; Celebrity Century will
then present a series of four- and five-night Western Caribbean voyages.
Celebrity Century's
2010-11 five-night sailings will alternate between two different
itineraries. One of these is new and features calls to Roatan, Honduras
and Cozumel bookended between two sea days. The other five-night
itinerary is similar to past offerings, and includes stops in Ocho
Rios, Jamaica and George Town. The four-night itinerary will remain the
same as the 2009-10 offerings, and will feature visits to Key West and
Cozumel.
Two five-night holiday sailings will be available: the December 24,
2010 cruise will mark the first time Celebrity visits Falmouth, Jamaica
and also will include a stop in George Town, while the December 29,
2010 voyage will include Celebrity Century’s only three-port line-up of
the season, with stops at Key West, CocoCay, and Nassau (Bahamas).
Guests can make the most of their Caribbean getaway by booking any of
the engaging shore excursions Celebrity offers in the region, available
for an additional charge. Highlights include:
"SeaTrek Kayak Adventure" at CocoCay, a unique eco-adventure where
guests enjoy an informative and interactive guided kayak tour in the
beautiful turquoise waters around CocoCay and view a variety of marine
creatures such as starfish, conch, and stingrays.
"A Taste of Key West," where guests hit the streets of the
southernmost town in the continental U.S. and experience a taste of the
Conch Republic, enjoying a casual walk and sampling Key West favorites
such as key lime pie.
"Deluxe Beach Break” in Cozumel, which gives guests the opportunity
to spend the day sunbathing on sandy beaches and swimming in the waters
of the Mexican Caribbean, with drinks and food included.
"Jolly Roger Catamaran and Gumbalimba Park" in Roatan, Honduras,
which features a catamaran cruise with time for snorkeling at the
Roatan National Reef and a visit to the Gumbalimba Nature Park with a
guided tour.
Onboard Celebrity Century, guests can enjoy all the
enhancements made when the ship underwent a $55-million makeover in
2006. These upgrades included the addition of 314 new verandas, 14 new
suites, 10 new staterooms ranging from inside to veranda categories,
and an expanded number of ConciergeClass category staterooms. Celebrity
also expanded its AquaSpa, added the specialty restaurant, Murano,
refurbished the main dining room, created the first ice bar at sea, and
enhanced the bedding in staterooms. Since the ship's 2006 makeover, it
has also benefited from Celebrity's fleetwide dining upgrades,
including 200 new menu offerings, a significantly upgraded casual
dining area, and an entirely new brunch offering – all part of
"Celebrity's Star TreatmentSM."
