Celebrity Cruises takes the stress out of planning your trip by offering several options for arranging your flights and transfers to and from the ship day of embark and debark. For Guests who like to book their own air we offer an Internet booking tool, ChoiceAir. If the Guest prefers more assistance with their air travel we offer our Standard Air and Custom Air programs where our friendly and knowledgeable air agents provide the same attention to detail Celebrity Cruises is known for.

Choice Air
ChoiceAir is our exclusive website where you can purchase airline tickets at terrific prices, which accommodates your schedule on your preferred airline. For additional convenience and peace of mind, ChoiceAir filters airline schedules to ensure the presented flight options are well-suited to your cruise schedule. The site allows you to use different credit cards to pay for each guest in a reservation and provides you the option of securing your airport to seaport transfers at the time you book your air.

When you book your airline tickets through ChoiceAir, you can rest assured that Celebrity will be there to support you before, during and after you travel. On the day of your travel, your flights will be monitored and, if there is a delay or schedule change, Celebrity will work with the airlines to “repair” the trip; to either get you to your port on an alternate flight, or if necessary, to the next available port. If your plans change our Celebrity Star Treatment is just a phone call away. Our ChoiceAir Support desk is available at 800-533-7803 to change or cancel ChoiceAir reservations and answer any questions you may have.

ChoiceAir allows you to choose from virtually any fare offered by our airline partners, with tickets subject to the airline’s rules and restrictions. Please note that Celebrity charges a $15.00 per person non-refundable ChoiceAir fee for domestic North American destinations and $25.00 per person non-refundable ChoiceAir fee for International destinations. This ChoiceAir fee applies to all guests including those with Elite status in our loyalty program.

Standard Air
Our Standard Air program includes:
  • Reserving scheduled air service or chartered flights for same-day arrival to meet your cruise vacation.*
  • Delivering documents to your travel agency or home.
  • Arranging transportation from your arrival airport to the pier.
  • Common flight arrangements for guests staying in the same stateroom, as long as all guests are booked at the same time, for travel from the same gateway city (based on airline availability in our class of service).
  • Attempting to arrange no more than one connection from your gateway city.
Custom Air
Custom Air provides air travel arrangements on the flights and class of service of your choice. Custom Air can handle air arrangements for gateways "not offered" and can service guests in different staterooms who want to travel together. Custom Air also provides the value of airport transfers and baggage service.

Custom Air requests may be done over the phone for both Individual and Group guests. The phone number is 800-636-2440. Custom Air hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM EST and Saturday and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 Pm EST. Custom Air requests may also be made through e-mail at customaircci@celebrity.com.

Custom Air Service Fees are $50 for North American sailings and $75 for International sailings. Fees are waived for gateways "not offered".

Please note: Due to limited air space, the use of co-terminals may be required (e.g. flying into Seattle while sailing out of Vancouver).

*Guests from some cities may be required to travel on "red-eye" flights or arrive the day before sailing.

We reserve the right to choose the air carrier, routing and city airport from each gateway city and further reserve the right to substitute charter or commuter flights for scheduled air service without notice. Airline tickets we issue are highly restrictive and you may find that your ticket cannot be exchanged, reissued or revalidated for another carrier or routing. Once your ticket has been issued, any changes to the ticket you request us to make shall be at our discretion and a fee may apply for each such change. You may be able to make changes by contacting the airline directly and any changes or fees imposed shall be borne by you. If you cancel your cruise after air tickets have been issued, you may be subject to airline cancellation fees.
