Edited by Travel Weekly


    Celebrity Cruises and Four Pillars Gin have begun the second year of their partnership with a new range of gin-inspired experiences for guests sailing on Celebrity Edge on its debut season down under in the 2023-24 season.

    Year two of the partnership sees new and exciting offerings including a limited-edition Celebrity Cruises x Four Pillars Navy Strength Gin, as well as a new Celebrity Cruises signature cocktail available onboard Celebrity Edge.

    Guests will be able to take in the stunning coastlines of Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, while sipping on their favourite gin cocktail, available at all 11 bars and lounges onboard.

    Offering the ultimate gin-spired holiday, travellers on the six-night sail to Tasmania, departing Sydney on 7 March 2024, will be hosted by Four Pillars Ambassador Lizzie Willans, marking Celebrity Cruises’ second gin-focused sailing.

    Pairing two award-winning trailblazers in the food and drinks space, culinary-curious travellers will have the opportunity to refine their palate with exclusive gin-tasting and food-pairing experiences designed to enhance guests’ knowledge, appreciation and love of gin.

    “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Australia’s leading craft distillery, Four Pillars for a second season, as we celebrate the upcoming debut of Celebrity Edge in local waters,” VP/MD APAC, Celebrity Cruises, Tim Jones, said.

    “Not only will we see crowd-favourites from last year return, but we also look forward to showing our guests how more happens on the Edge, with new bespoke offerings for the culinary curious, as exciting as the diverse destinations we’re visiting.”
