Celebrity Cruises is starting a movement to address under-representation in travel marketing through our All-Inclusive Photo Project. In partnership with world-renowned photographers, we have created the world’s first open-source photo library featuring ethnic, disabled, curvy and LGBTQ+ changemakers. We invite our industry to join us in changing the face of travel.

The Photographers

Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz, considered one of America’s best portrait photographers, began her career as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone magazine in 1970, while she was still a student at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her first major assignment was for a cover story on John Lennon. She became Rolling Stone’s chief photographer in 1973 and by the time she left the magazine, ten years later, her work was widely known. In 1983, when Annie joined the staff of the revived Vanity Fair, she continued to produce images that would be deemed iconic and provocative. She began collaborating regularly for Vogue in the late 1980s. In addition to her editorial work, Annie has created several influential advertising campaigns and has showcased her work in several books and exhibitions around the world.

Celebrity’s Bold Move to Change the Faces in Travel Marketing

If you personally don’t conform to the stereotypes portrayed in travel imagery, it’s all too easy to feel excluded, and to be daunted by the prospect of travel in a world where you do not feel represented. We think the travel industry could do better. And that’s why Celebrity Cruises has launched a bold and imaginative new campaign, the All-Inclusive Photo Project (AIPP).
