Celebrity Cruises is encouraging travellers to book a 2021 cruise, by launching a ‘book now bonus’.

Launching today (20 August) and running until 15 September 2020, the new bonus gives prospective guests more value and flexibility.

When booking a ‘price only’ cruise, passengers will now get a complimentary drinks package thrown in – meaning unlimited beers, spirits, cocktails, liqueurs, frozen drinks and wine by the glass, at the value of up to $9 per serving.

One cruise covered by the deal is Celebrity Cruises’ Caribbean Dreaming sailing, a sun-soaked six-night sailing around the Bahamas, Grand Cayman and Mexico aboard newly modernised Celebrity Equinox.

Departing 18 July 2021, prices start at just £779 per person for an Oceanview stateroom, and when booked at this ‘price only’ price come with the aforementioned classic drinks package.

Closer to home, Celebrity is also offering a Mediterranean cruise around Spain and Italy, with 14 nights spent on board Celebrity Silhouette.

The cruise departs on 31 July 2021 and stops at the likes of Malaga, Cagliari, Naples, Rome, before retiring to Southampton. ‘Price only’ prices start at £2,929.

Both Celebrity Equinox and Silhouette have recently undergone impressive modernisations to bring them up to the spec of the high-tech new ships. The new renovations were inspired by the success of Celebrity Edge, and the soon-to-be-launched sister ship, Celebrity Apex.

In a fleet-wide modernisation that is costing $500-million, the two ships have had various luxurious upgrades which include improvements to The Retreat Lounge, The Retreat Sundeck, and dining at Luminae at The Retreat, exclusively for suite class guests.

Along with the free drinks package, Celebrity is also encouraging guests to book with its ‘Cruise with Confidence’ policy.

The policy allows cancellations to be made up to 48 hours before the sailing, with guests then receiving a full credit voucher for the value of the cruise fare.

The credit can be used to book a new Celebrity cruise on another date.
