Returning to Sea + More

This year, we were presented with a rare opportunity to pause, step back, and assess all aspects of our vacation experience. This resulted in exciting refinements that we’re happy to share with you, including reimagined cruise packaging and enhancements to our Captain’s Club program.

Seamless experiences have always been our goal, and we believe vacations should be effortless from the start. That’s why every Celebrity cruise now includes drinks, Wi-Fi, and tips—with Always Included. We’ve also honed in on new ways to honor your well-deserved Captain’s Club status, including new events and exclusive perks.

As our world changes, we change with it. Now more than ever, we remain nimble in our approach to set sail again with you. As always, we’re committed to providing you the incredible, luxurious Celebrity experience that you’ve come to expect from us. We’re grateful for your loyalty and it means the world to us to be able to travel the world with you again.

Exclusive Events

Captain's Club Sneak Peek

We’re excited to introduce brand new events, like the Captain’s Club Sneak Peek Series beginning on Celebrity Apex^SM. Classic members and above can enjoy a sneak peek of the Eden décor, live music, and interactive art at Wonder at Eden in a reserved space just for Captain’s Club members. Plus, you can sample the specialty cocktail of the evening and enjoy a meet and greet with the artists and performers.

Create and Pour

Welcome Parties

Welcome Parties will now take place in stunning outdoor spaces, like the Lawn Club and Rooftop Garden. As always, your captain and executive committee will be there to welcome you back with a special toast.

Captain's Club Cocktail Hour

We’ve also adjusted our Captain’s Club cocktail hour to provide flexibility. The cocktail hour will no longer take place in the lounge. Now, you’ll be able to enjoy unlimited drinks from the Captain’s Club menu daily from 5pm to 7pm at bars and lounges throughout your ship, including complimentary wine varieties that will now rotate between Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Moscato, and Pinot Noir. Come as you are, comfy, casual, and ready to kick back, Celebrity style. As more and more members start to sail with our Always Included package and have drinks included in their ticket, we’ll be introducing new events and benefits so stay tuned.

The full list of member events available for your sailing will be provided onboard. More events for all ships are underway, so be sure to stay tuned for updates.

New Programs in the Works

Power Up Points

We're always looking for new ways to make your Captain’s Club membership more incredible. So, during our pause in service, we developed several new programs. By now, you’ve probably heard of our latest and greatest Captain’s Club member benefit, Power Up Points. But, did you know that for every 10 Power Up Points earned, you’ll get 1 Club Point—right from your couch? All you have to do is participate in fun activities, like surveys and social media contests, and you’ll keep earning points from the comfort of your living room.

Double Club Points

This Captain’s Club bonus is a double win. Classic members and above can earn double points for booking a veranda stateroom or higher on sailings departing through December 2021. Now is the time to make your wildest vacation dreams come true in Alaska, experience Old World charm in Europe, or unwind on sun-soaked Caribbean shores—and earn 2X Club Points. But hurry, offer ends June 30, 2021. *
