Celebrity to Reprise Short Caribbean Sailings In 2009-2010

Celebrity Cruises once again will offer four- and five-night Caribbean sailings in the 2009-10 winter Caribbean season on the Celebrity Century. These voyages are open for sale. From Dec. 12, 2009, through April 22, 2010, Celebrity Century will sail 29 short Western Caribbean itineraries, departing from Miami on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Each itinerary features two ports of call, including Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Key West. The 1,814-guest Century underwent a $55 million makeover in 2006. Upgrades included the addition of 314 new verandas, 14 new suites, 10 new staterooms ranging from inside to veranda categories, and an expanded number of ConciergeClass category staterooms. Celebrity also expanded its AquaSpa, added the specialty restaurant called Murano, refurbished the main dining room, created the first ice bar at sea, and enhanced the bedding in staterooms.

In port, guests can experience a variety of shore and land excursions, such as "Temazcal Mayan Steamlodge Experience" in Cozumel, which includes a shaman-guided ritual reflective of those that the ancient Mexicans would perform; "Chukka Ultimate Adventure" in Ocho Rios, which offers a horseback ride along the White River, river inner-tubing, a Jamaican lunch and a hike; or "Taste of Key West," a guided walking tour through the town's colorful gardens and historic buildings.
