Celebrity Cruises announced today the return of the award-winning Celebrity Eclipse in Australia and New Zealand for the 2023-23 season with a series of curated 5- to 18-night itineraries immersing guests in the natural wonders and sublime coastline of the land Down Under, along with the South Pacific’s enchanting tropical destinations.
From September 2022 through April 2023 with departures from both Sydney and Auckland, the 19 different itineraries will also feature new themed experiences: ‘Sun and Beach Escapes’, ‘Food and Wine Classics’, and ‘Five Star Getaways’. The three themes provide deeper immersion into the region’s unique culture and are brought to life through enhanced onboard and shoreside programming such as an overnight in Cairns with the option to sleep under the stars on a private pontoon floating above the Great Barrier Reef and savoring the region’s most revered wines poured by the winemakers themselves during the first-ever Australian food and wine itinerary to Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart.
These experiences will augment Celebrity’s signature innovative design, luxurious accommodations, world-class dining, exciting entertainment and unrivaled service standards.
And, because Celebrity believes holidays should be effortless from the start, Wi-Fi, drinks and service charges are now ‘Always Included’SM in a Celebrity cruise purchase, bringing that wonderful feeling of ‘everything is taken care of’ to life. In addition, Celebrity’s ‘Cruise with Confidence’ program provides flexible cancellations and best price guarantees.
Highlights of Celebrity’s new 2022-2023 Down Under season include:
- A new, unique overnight opportunity in Hobart, Cairns and Adelaide for guests to take in the wonders of the magnificent surroundings and vibrant nightlife;
- Longer stays in port with 8p.m. departures from such popular destinations as Melbourne, Brisbane, Christchurch, Papeete and Maui;
- Adding the scenic Port Arthur, Tasmania, one of Australia’s most notorious penal colonies and highly-lauded cultural sites, as a new port offering;
