Hong Kong: miraculously compact and utterly compelling, Hong Kong has it all.

Welcome to Vista.

It’s been a lovely summer so far, and your eighth issue of Vista is about to make it even lovelier. Firstly, no doubt you’ll know all about our Celebrity EdgeSM launch in the Caribbean next year. We’ve a few more details to share in this Vista, and I’m delighted to announce that our Celebrity Edge Godmother is Nobel Laureate and human rights activist, Malala Yousafzai – a more than worthy choice I’m sure you’ll agree. While Celebrity Edge is something out-ofthis-world on the horizon, we’ve an equally exciting year ahead, which includes Celebrity Silhouette® homeporting in Southampton from 2018. We won’t go into too much detail here as you can uncover all that’s new, from new overnights to new shore excursions, and of course the 300+ destinations we now feature, in our shiny new 2018/19 brochure – get your copy now at celebritycruises.co.uk/ brochure2018 Were you on our last President’s Cruise to Iceland and Ireland? I was lucky enough to be on board and I was thrilled to meet so many Captain’s Club members – over 2,000 of you! I’d especially like to thank our Zenith members, Paul and Angela Etheridge who travelled with us. I hope you’re all enjoying the incredible benefits it brings; and you’ve now also got enhanced onshore privileges to look forward to (turn to page 5 for details). Enjoy your latest issue of Vista, and I hope to see you back on board very soon.

CELEBRITY EDGE

CELEBRITY EDGE

EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT THE REVOLUTION THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF CELEBRIT Y EDGE SM EARLIER THIS YEAR CREATED QUITE A STIR THROUGHOUT THE CRUISE INDUSTRY. THIS WAS OF COURSE INEVITABLE, GIVEN THAT SHE’S THE ‘SHIP DESIGNED TO LEAVE THE FUTURE BEHIND’. OVER THE NEXT FEW ISSUES OF VISTA WE’LL BE FOCUSING ON THE SHIP’S DIFFERENT AREAS TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT’S COMING (REMEMBER, THE REVOLUTION BEGINS DECEMBER 2018).

TH E M AGIC CA R PE T Let’s start with world’s first cantilevered, floating platform that travels up the side of the ship and reaches heights of 13 storeys above sea level – The Magic Carpet is the size of a tennis court and offers some of the best views on board. This spectacular space opens to several decks and transforms into a new venue depending on which deck it’s positioned: — At its highest point, The Magic Carpet becomes a sky-high venue for an array of mouthwatering experiences such as Dinner on the Edge. Prepare for a unique, al fresco culinary journey that will delight your tastebuds, sight, and sense of wonder, all at the same time. — On Deck 14, The Magic Carpet becomes an extension of the relaxing main pool area – with breathtaking views as a backdrop and live music in the air, it’s the perfect place to unwind with family or friends. — Sushi on 5 is one of our exciting new restaurants on board. And on Deck 5, The Magic Carpet serves as an extension of this intimate, open air dining experience that makes fresh ocean fare taste even fresher. Left: The Magic Carpet, the world's first cantilevered, floating platform that travels up the side of a ship Below: Eden, a true window to the world.

— Down to Deck 2, and The Magic Carpet becomes an extension of the Destination Gateway – a state-of-the-art embarkation station where you’ll be whisked away aboard our newly reimagined tender boats. This is the place to soar over the open ocean while dining, enjoying a drink, or simply relaxing.

U NCOV ER A PA R A DIS E WE CA LL EDEN Eden is unlike anything at sea – or anywhere. With three levels of sensory experiences, fully encased in glass and looking out to the ocean, it is a true window to the world. This sensory space transforms from chillful mornings to playful afternoons to sinful evenings. Enjoy speciality coffees in Eden Café, delicious, experiential cuisine at Eden Restaurant and handcrafted cocktails at Eden Bar. Alternatively just sit back and take in the spontaneous, immersive performances created by Variety Worldwide. A visit to Eden will awaken every sense.

CELEBRITY EDGE

TH E FIRS T R E TR E AT… OF ITS K IND Calling it just Deck 14 wouldn’t do it justice. So we named it The Retreat Sundeck. An exclusive place for Suite Class guests where you’ll find endless ways to enjoy the outdoors and connect with the sea. It really depends on how relaxed or active you want to be…

TH E ROOF TOP GA R DEN A garden that’s full of unexpected pleasures day and night. Find a cosy chair, sink in, and get lost in a good book. Sip a refreshing cocktail as you gaze out over the open ocean. Drift away to the rhythm of live musical performances coming down to you from treetop sculptures. Get caught up in a friendly game of giant chess or catch a movie at A Taste of Film. Dance the night away as a live band plays your favourite songs. Or just lie back on a comfy lounger and gaze up at the sea of stars above you as you glide over the sea below. Your imagination is your guide in this fantastic garden escape. THE ROOFTOP GARDEN GRILL What’s on the menu? How about gourmet burgers, brisket, and BBQ? Nestled perfectly in its own delicious corner of the Rooftop Garden, you can pop in for lunch or dinner – while enjoying the most incredible garden and ocean views.

CA BA N AS Just off the pool deck, on the starboard side, are the outward-facing Cabanas. Spacious (165 square feet) and airy (more than 18 feet high), these luxurious coves invite you to climb in and get lost in the plush seating and incredible views of the sea. At night, ambient lighting turns the Cabanas into intimate spaces perfect for enjoying cocktails and the moonlight glimmering off the ocean. Above: The Rooftop Garden, full of unexpected pleasures both day and night. Left: our Cabanas invite you to climb in and get lost among the plush seating and incredible views.

IT A LL BEGINS IN TH E CA RIBBE A N Celebrity Edge will change the way you experience the world with a choice of two 2018/19 winter itineraries in the Caribbean. The first is an Eastern Caribbean journey that visits San Juan, Puerto Rico; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; and Philipsburg, St. Maarten. The second itinerary is a Western Caribbean voyage to Key West, Florida; Costa Maya, Mexico; Cozumel, Mexico; and George Town, Grand Cayman. But why choose just one? See it all by booking back-to-back sailings for a 14-night luxurious journey.

SOL A RI U M On the Resort Deck you’ll find the blissful adults-only Solarium. Featuring a 3-dimensional art wall that represents the beautiful colours and movement of the ocean, it’s the perfect complement to the serene onboard atmosphere.

TH E POOL DECK

TH E POOL BA R

A stunning asymmetrical space with a distinct resort-style atmosphere. The Pool Deck features two striking, 2-storey Martini glass shaped hot tubs (another first for Celebrity Cruises® and a first at sea); and oversized art installations including unique treetop sculptures. A visual delight.

At the centre of the Pool Deck is a 23-metre lap pool, the largest in our fleet, featuring in-pool loungers. Alongside the pool is the Pool Bar (situated under an ever-changing, abstract mirror installation) – an inspired spot to enjoy your favourite refreshment.

THE WINE SHOW

Five shore excursions to celebrate the world’s finest wines

THE WINE SHOW

The Wine Show's Amelia Singer and Joe Fattorini

Meet The Wine Show’s Joe Fattorini When did you first discover you had a passion for wine? Am I allowed to say this? My parents will tell you I was about seven. You know how boys at that age acquire obsessions about things like trains or dinosaurs or Spiderman? Well, mine was wine. I had a wine book confiscated by the teachers at school when I was ten. When I arrived at University and could drink I already knew more than most sommeliers. Who would be on your invite list for your dream dinner party?

WITH AN ARR AY OF DELECTABLE DINING OPTIONS, PERFECTLY PAIRED WITH ONE OF THE LARGEST AND R AREST WINE COLLECTIONS AT SEA – FOOD AND WINE LOVERS ARE WELL LOOKED AFTER ON A CELEBRIT Y CRUISE. AND NOW EVEN MORE SO… We’ve partnered with The Wine Show, the world’s most popular wine television programme, to give you five new shore excursions for 2017. Curated by the hosts of The Wine Show, Joe Fattorini and Amelia Singer, these intimate vineyard experiences are as indulgent as they are informative. R O M E (C I V I TAV EC C H I A), I TA LY

S A N TO R I N I, G R E EC E

Tell us about your first impressions of our Celebrity ships? I thought ‘this is a wine lover’s paradise’. On my first time on board we went straight to the wine tower and spent an age just looking through the bottles. I kept asking the sommeliers on board “and how many wines did you say there were?” “and how many producers?” The sommeliers are brilliant. We were sharing stories about favourite wines and things we would recommend within minutes. What wine would you recommend to guests from our selection on board?

The most fabulous wine dinners I’ve been to have a combination of wine experts and wine lovers who are expert in something else. For wine experts I’d have Jancis Robinson MW and Hugh Johnson. Then I’d scatter guests who’ll entertain. Peter Cook for a combination of charm and slightly cruel humour. My fiancée Christina who knows more about Champagne than anyone I know and is a consummate host. Lord Byron famously drank Burgundy from a human skull, so I’d ask him along. And Thomas Jefferson was a great wine lover and I’d hope he’d bring a decent bottle from his collection.

T HE M AG AZI N E FR OM C APTAI N ’ S C LUB

On several of the lists you’ll find Chenin Blanc, Ken Forrester, Stellenbosch which is such a great wine and wonderfully versatile. I’ve loved it for years and it’s fantastic value. I’d recommend that to anyone. There are so many glorious wines in Blu and Luminae and Qsine but a real favourite of mine is Dry

T HE M AGAZ I N E FR O M C AP TAI N ’ S CLUB

Creek Vineyard, ‘Old Vines’, Sonoma County, California. It’s fresher and brighter than many big boy Zinfandels you might have tried. And has real versatility with food. I’m a bit of Pinot Noir nut and all the lists have some glorious wines. But one that I think may get looked over is Bodega Chacra, Barda, Patagonia, Argentina on the Murano list. It’s from the south of Argentina, the place they call ‘The Land of Apples, Cherries, Pears, Grapes and Dinosaurs’. When you're out for dinner with friends, who chooses the wine? It’s usually a diplomatic dance where we end up deferring to the sommelier. I’m always happy to hand over the list to someone else. Choosing wine can be a bit of a busman’s holiday. But then our friends insist it comes back to me. So normally I ask lots of questions about what everyone enjoys and what they are going to eat and then turn to the sommelier for a chat. They know the list better than anyone and I’ll always happily take their better judgement. What do you love most about your job? Discovering interesting things about other people. Take today, I’ve done wine training with a young restaurant team from Serbia, The Philippines, France, India, Sri Lanka and Ukraine. I then had an intense discussion online about wine with someone from California and given travel advice to people in Nepal, Brazil and Tennessee. What other job would let you do that? What advice would you give to people who are new to the world of wine? Relax, it’s just a drink. It’s true it’s an infinitely varied drink, bringing joy at everything from a fiver to £15,000 or more a bottle, each one laden with history and culture and social significance as well as complex flavours and aromas. But it’s still just a drink. You won’t always have the opportunity you do on Celebrity ships to experiment and discover new wines. But when you do it’s magical.

HOLIDAY LIKE A PRESIDENT

IN MAY WE WELCOMED OVER 2,000 CAPTAIN’S CLUB MEMBERS ON OUR PRESIDENT’S CRUISE TO THE BEAUTIFUL EMERALD ISLE AND ALL THE WAY UP TO ICELAND. OUR PRESIDENT AND CEO, LISA LUTOFF-PERLO, WAS DELIGHTED TO MEET SO MANY OF YOU IN PERSON AND SHARE HER FUTURE PLANS FOR CELEBRITY CRUISES ®. SHE ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF HOSTING SOME SPECIAL SHORE EXCURSIONS. WE’D LOVE TO WELCOME YOU ON OUR UPCOMING SPECIAL MEMBER CRUISES: PRESIDENT’S CRUISE 2017 8-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise Celebrity EquinoxSM 27 August 2017

PRESIDENT’S CRUISE 2018 12-night Arabian Sea & India Cruise Celebrity Constellation® 11 March 2018

First stop was Cobh, where we travelled to Ballymaloe house for a beautiful homemade (and homegrown) lunch. And we were honoured to have a cookery demonstration from Irish TV chef and cookbook author, Rachel Allen (whom the BBC described as the ‘Irish Cooking Queen’). We then sailed onto Dublin – a maiden call for Celebrity Eclipse®, meaning she was welcomed with the inaugural Plaque and Key Ceremony. The warm welcome continued into the evening with Irish Dancing, singing and music from the talented Irish Dreams. And from Dublin to the wild and remote town of Akureyri in northern Iceland, where we awoke to a dusting of snow on the ground. After visiting Godafoss falls (literally meaning ‘waterfall of the Gods’) we journeyed through lava fields and volcanic landscapes while witnessing wondrous blue sulphur pools. In Reykjavik, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo hosted an exhilarating 4x4 driving experience where guests sped up the side of an active volcano before trekking past steaming craters, sulphur mud pools and a spectacular geyser that shot water 30-metres into the air. Also in Iceland’s cool capital, our members were treated to a stunning ‘Fire and Ice’ evening at the Harpa Concert Hall where Icelandic singer and violinist, Greta Salome performed a repertoire of music, including her Eurovision songs. If you never managed our Iceland and Ireland President’s Cruise, worry not – you can set sail in 2018 direct from Southampton on 18 August, or directly from Dublin on a 10-night sailing on 30 April, 10 or 28 May.

Miraculously compact, utterly compelling, and best of all, it’s in Hong Kong. From some of the world’s best shopping to sprawling country parks, ancient temples, an iconic harbour and round-the-clock entertainment. And of course, with an overnight stay on our 14-night Southeast Asia Immersion cruise, you’ve enough time to explore it your way.


HONG KONG

Few places on the planet offer such a diversity of culture, cuisine, sights and sounds, and in such as a small space as Hong Kong (the city comprises Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories and 260+ outlying islands). Seamlessly fusing east and west, it is arguably the world’s most fast-paced and dynamic city, where Chinese tradition combines with the relics of colonial rule to create an exciting and eclectic environment. Infused with a unique sense of vibrancy, highly sophisticated infrastructure and award-winning architecture are served up alongside the hallmarks of an ancient civilisation.

HONG KONG

IM M ERS E YO U RS ELF IN S ER ENIT Y… If Hong Kong’s busy streets and bustling markets aren’t for you, or you simply fancy a little escapism from it all, relax – 70% of the city is lush greenery, and 40% of that is protected. Why not hire a boat and head off to one of the 260-plus outlying islands, many of which are uninhabited while others have small villages where life is a world away from the metropolis.

Clockwise from top: the oriental pavilion in Nan Lian Garden; Tourist tram at the Peak; experience views like nowhere else at Ngong Ping.

AS I A’S C U LIN A RY CA PITA L For the foodies among you, Hong Kong has it all. With over 11,000 restaurants you can eat out three times a day for ten years and never eat at the same place twice. From over sixty Michelin-starred restaurants to tiny local eateries serving a myriad of gastronomic delights, or restaurants with romantic views over the famous harbour – you’re spoilt for choice in every direction. And come sunset, Hong Kong takes on a whole new persona with lively roof top bars and seriously chic nightclubs.

Above: however you look at it, Hong Kong is stunning. Right: delicious Dim Sum.

FOODIE-INS PIR ED S HOR E E XC U RS ION Why not take in the vibrancy of Hong Kong while touring some of the city’s most famous attractions, shops, and restaurants on our ‘Highlights of the City with Chinese Dim Sum Lunch’.

…OR U NLE AS H YO U R A DV ENT U RO US S IDE Whether it’s rambling, kayaking, water-skiing or wake boarding, Hong Kong will satiate your sense of adventure. Its 430 square miles of coastline boasts a rich array of beaches, coves, bays, cliffs, sea caves and nature trails – all just waiting to be explored. And Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island, is the perfect place to take in all of its breathtaking beauty, which stretches as far as the green hills of the New Territories. If the walk up the Peak sounds a little strenuous (especially in the humidity), take the Peak Tram – the views are out of this world.

E XPLOR ATION-INS PIR ED S HOR E E XC U RS ION Escape the crowds on our ‘Lantau Island and Tai O Village with vegetarian lunch at Po Lin Monastery’ tour. Often referred to as the ‘Venice of the East’, Tai O is an enchanting historic village with stilted houses and home to the world’s largest seated bronze Buddha. Home to the ‘Tanka’ fisher folk, this enchanting water-world is a photographer’s paradise. And getting there is just as exciting – take the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) to Tung Chung and then take the Ngong Ping Cable Car to Ngong Village and signs to the Monastery are easy to follow (around two hours, yet a world away, from Hong Kong’s hustle and bustle).

HONG KONG’S BIGGES T S TA R Hong Kong just wouldn’t be the same without its famed Star Ferry. She’s been faithfully carrying passengers from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon and back since 1888.

You’ll be armed with insider knowledge, personal recommendations and top tips – and the programme is free of charge.

S TR EE T M A R K E TS A R E A M US T You can’t visit Hong Kong without soaking up the sights, smells and sounds of its street market life. Can you? If you’ve a few hours to spare, make your way to the Mong Kok District in Kowloon. With a buzzing atmosphere day and night Mong Kok and its many stalls of clothing, accessories and souvenirs is the place to hone your haggling skills and bag a bargain or two.

Baked goat cheese soufflé

MEE T OUR… AS SOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT OF ENTERTAINMENT

Fabulous cuisine is just one of the many temptations of a Western Mediterranean cruise. A favourite of ours is the yummy Baked Goat Cheese Soufflé. So why not try out the recipe for yourself. It’s sure to give you a flavour for the Med’s enticing sun-soaked shores.

INGREDIENTS

ADHERING TO THE NORM ISN’T NORMAL FOR BECK Y. BUT THEN, BECK Y’S ROLE IS ABOUT KEEPING THINGS FRESH, FUN AND FAB AT ALL TIMES. CRE ATIVE PERFECTIONIST, FULL-TIME MUM, AND PERHAPS EVEN THE UK’S NEXT BIG TALK SHOW HOST – THE STAGE IS SET FOR BECK Y THOMSON-FOLE Y. Is your job as entertaining as it sounds? Truly, you cannot do this job unless you love it. Unless entertaining people and making them happy is in your very core. The biggest misconception is how hard we work. Entertainers, innovators and creatives are perfectionists, they cannot stop until every little detail is in place and then seeing it come to life, going back and tweaking until absolutely perfect. But the joy that you feel when it is right is priceless and lives with you always. What attracted you to the position? Innovation. Celebrity Cruises® commits to innovation, design and quality, and depth in everything that we do, including entertainment. Keeping the status quo is not an option and that is why I am here. The belief that with every new concept, design, production and technical capability the performance can be something completely new. Your three desert island essentials are? Music. Champagne. My family. Describe your typical day. Well, there is no typical day! One day I may be in a finance meeting followed by a pitch by a production company with an idea for a new show followed by a call with a ship about entertainers, followed by feeling costume swatches for quality of material, approving a new lead cast member in a show, to a call from Kylie Minogue's director asking for music approval.

What 3 words best describe Celebrity Cruises? Innovative. Contemporary. Purposeful. What would be your dream job, other than the one you’re in of course? I like the idea of being a talk show host, a life coach, a confidence trainer, or a full time mum. What’s the best production you’ve seen this year?

SOUFFLÉ

PARMESAN CRE AM

170g unsalted butter (cubed)

700ml heavy whipping cream

170g all-purpose flour

210g Parmesan cheese (grated)

1.9l whole milk

SMOKED TOMATO COULIS 1 tablespoon of shallots (chopped) 2 garlic cloves

450g goat cheese (mashed)

Have you ever been starstuck?

1 bunch of fresh chives

2 fresh basil leaves

I was in a show with Wayne Sleep at the Prince Edward Theatre in London and Prince Edward was the Guest of Honour. He came to meet the cast and I spoke to him personally which was a real honour as I love the Royal Family.

10 large fresh egg yolks

1 teaspoon of chopped fresh basil

10 large fresh egg whites

230ml white wine 350ml vegetable stock Salt and pepper

What’s your favourite restaurant on board? Qsine® for the fun and Murano for the cheese and extensive service.

Whipped Cream at The Metropolitan Opera House on Broadway.

Can you share any upcoming Celebrity entertainment news?

If you could recommend just one current Celebrity Cruises production to our members, what would it be and why?

We are working on the next Celebrity EdgeSM reveal as the public is so hungry for what is going to be happening on this incredible ship following a famously successful new ship launch, so more will be revealed soon!

They all have a different emotion and soul which speaks to audience members differently for different reasons. However, I think it would have to be 'Life'. This is a show that does bring out different emotions and speaks to different times in everyone’s life and yet exudes joy! From a creative standpoint, it is the music choices and simplicity of the set whilst executing very unique and uplifting choreography and vocals including live music. It checks all of the boxes for me.

METHOD

—To make the Parmesan cream, combine Parmesan cheese, cream and bring to a simmer, remove, blend in a blender and set aside in a small sauce pot. —For the smoked tomato coulis, in a saucepan, sweat shallots and garlic with olive oil. Add the diced tomatoes, granulated sugar, basil and thyme; cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, add the vegetable stock, and simmer for 45 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, strain through a fine sieve. Let cool and reserve. —To plate each serving, pour 115ml Parmesan cream in a soufflé cup. Place a soufflé in the centre of the cup and bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until bubbly at 175°C. Once cooked, drizzle the tomato coulis around the soufflé, then add a drizzle of pesto if liked.

Who would you cast as YOU in a movie? Emily Blunt or Kristen Wig. Top tip for an aspiring Director of Entertainment? Work hard, be nice, be brave, avoid drama and when you pick the right team, always appreciate them both privately and publicly.

—To make the soufflé, preheat the oven to 110°C. Make a béchamel sauce with the butter, flour and milk then pass through a fine sieve. Let cool, then mix in the goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and chives. Gently fold in the egg yolks. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, and gently fold into the mixture. Butter 6 soufflé moulds and place on a baking sheet. Spoon the mixture into moulds. Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool and reserve.
