    Celebrity Cruises’ exclusive fleetwide festivities

    Celebrity Cruises invites guests to join in a range of exciting onboard activities with the theme of “awakening new depths”. Learn how our relationship with the ocean needs to adapt, change and motivate momentum for ocean protection.

    All guests embarking on Celebrity Cruises itinerary during this time get a reusable Ton To Ton tote bag. For each tote bag, 65 metric tons of non-recyclable ocean-bound plastic will be collected from polluted areas in Cambodia and Vietnam.

    OceanScope will take over the Celebrity Cruises app on the day. From their pockets, guests can easily learn more about the innovative program and book related activities onboard.

    This weekend, guests can also enjoy a presentation from Celebrity’s Ocean’s Ahead Environmental Officers, getting a sneak peek behind-the-scenes into ship operations and Celebrity’s carbon footprint reduction efforts.

    Other activities include Tai Chi and awakening classes for guests looking to connect with the sounds of the ocean plus ocean-themed trivia. Celebrity’s youngest ocean activists can also enjoy a variety of Camp at Sea activities, such as a sea life watercolour exhibit, marine life videos, and a WWF sea turtles and oceans activities book.
