DESTINATION: EUROPE
The ports of Europe offer a little bit of everything. From the sun-swept islands of coasts of the Mediterranean to the long summer nights on the Baltic, you can enjoy a slice of life among an endless array of cultures. Surrounded by water the continent has been brought together by the seas for millenia, and sailing has long been a way of life. The cities that grew along the coasts have enchanted and delighted countless visitors, and they open up to some of the most stunning countryside you can imagine. Each port is a pearl of the sea, waiting to be discovered.
FEATURED EXPERIENCE
Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Beyond will make their way to Europe this month for sailings beginning in May. Celebrity Apex will be in Northern Europe before heading down to the Mediterranean in September, while the other two will spend the summer and fall on the Med. Celebrity Ascent is scheduled to join the fleet with Caribbean preview sailings beginning in November.
Based in the Netherlands, and with sailings as short as seven nights focused on the Norwegian Fjords to 12-night Best of Scandinavia, Iceland & Ireland and British Isles itineraries, Celebrity Apex showcases the best of the Baltic and North seas
with pleasant summer breezes greeting you along the way.
Celebrity Edge will spotlight the major ports of Spain, Frame and Italy with weeklong cruises and go a bit deeper with a 12-night seasonopening sailing May 1. Eat and explore your way through the cities and islands of the Western Mediterranean while enjoying life aboard the first ship in the Edge Series.
The newest Edge Series ship until Celebrity Ascent debuts, Celebrity Beyond will be sail from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia on to the Adriatic and Eastern Med for sailings of eight to 12 nights highlighting Croatia, Montenegro, the Greek Isles and Turkey.
“Celebrity Cruises has always been an innovator at sea, and now we have challenged the status quo with a vessel that goes beyond expectations, beyond imagination,” CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said. “Celebrity Beyond shatters any and every preconceived notion of the cruising experience. This exquisite ship offers a journey at the intersection of elegance and approachability filled with what’s important to our guests today: forward-thinking design, culinary excellence, unparalleled well-being and incomparable service.”

Under the culinary excellence category, the ship includes chef Daniel Boulud’s first signature restaurant at sea, Le Voyage, featuring globally inspired flavors that whisk your taste buds away to the edges of the earth much the same way the itineraries do.
On Edge Series ships, The Retreat offers an exclusive hideaway with its own
private restaurant, sun deck and lounge. Accommodations include massive two-story Edge Villas, infinite verandas and jaw-dropping Iconic Suites, plus 29 distinct restaurants, bars and lounges cater to your every need. Celebrity Ascent will take that number up to 32 and will create an even closer connection between you, the sea, and every exciting place on the horizon.

WHERE TO STAY INSIDERS CLUB
SERRAS
Stories of Pablo Picasso swirl around the rooftop pool bar at The Serras. The master’s former studio turned boutique stay – located in the historic city center, Barrio Gótico – is now a canvas of contemporary luxury, its ambience trendy yet unpretentious. The 28 rooms are comfortably chic, their natural color palette accented by bold geometric patterns with touches of wood and iron; balconies overlook the old city or yacht-filled Port Vell and the Mediterranean Sea. Look for Michelin-starred chef Marc Gascons behind the open kitchen at Informal restaurant, busily adding his own twist to seasonal Catalan favorites.
LA POSTA VECCHIA
La Posta Vecchia, once the seaside home of J. Paul Getty, is among the world’s truly exclusive hotels and one of Italy’s finest expressions of Renaissance decor. You’ll enjoy a complimentary tour of the on-site museum, featuring the ruins of a Roman villa from the 2nd century BC. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of nearly ten acres of private gardens and fragrant flowers. Most of the individually designed guest rooms look out over the Tyrrhenian Sea, and Rome is just a 35-minute drive away. Enjoy fine dining at acclaimed gourmet restaurant The Cesar, and pamper yourself with time spent at the LPV Health & Beauty Club.
HOTEL DE RUSSIE
A Roman icon for nearly 200 years, Hotel de Russie is as renowned for its elegant styling as its envied position between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo. Delicate hues, contemporary decor, and attention to detail highlight guest bedrooms. All rooms have been softly renovated, including the Popolo, Picasso, and Nijinsky suites, and adorned with original artworks and antique furniture; many overlook the Secret Garden, including the new Valadier Suite. Dine at Le Jardin de Russie in the extensive, terraced gardens. The hotel boasts one of Rome’s best urban spa retreats, featuring a saltwater hydropool, sauna, and steam room.
HOTEL TWENTYSEVEN
The extraordinarily sumptuous Hotel TwentySeven feels more like an elite private club, and rightly so. Nestled within buzzy Dam Square, the boutique hotel is housed in a stunning, monumental building. Voluptuous sofas, velvet wallpapers, handmade Italian curtains, and Nepalese carpets adorn the 16 über-exclusive suites. The executive chef and wine director take guests on a global gastronomic journey at the Michelin-starred Bougainville restaurant. Challenge the discreet, sure-footed team to make any city dream come true.
