Celebrity Cruises is to offer interactive glassblowing classes run by Hollywood Hot Glass onboard selected ships, expanding on its previous hot glass programme.
Hollywood Hot Glass will host a live glassblowing demonstration in the ships’ Yacht Club at the beginning of participating sailings. Guests will then be able to register for their own Hot Glass Class, available throughout their itinerary, where they’ll work with a Hot Glass instructor to create their own piece of art.
“We’re always working to identify new and exciting opportunities for our guests onboard, and we really feel that our new partnership with Hollywood Hot Glass is the perfect evolution of our past hot glass offering,” said Brian Abel, vice president of hotel operations, Celebrity Cruises.
In each class, guests will have the opportunity to choose from eight unique pieces including a vase, starfish, and a heart before selecting from a variety of colours and taking their creation home with them.
“It is a true honour to partner with Celebrity Cruises,” said Brenna Baker Brown, founder of Hollywood Hot Glass. “We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to share our passion for glass through our Hot Glass Class programme aboard three of the beautiful Celebrity ships. To witness the pure joy the hands-on glass-making experience brings everyone is by far the most rewarding aspect of our programme today.”
The new experience will be featured on three ships in the Celebrity fleet and will launch on Celebrity Equinox on 17 February 2018, while Celebrity Eclipse will begin offering the programme on 1 April 2018, and Celebrity Solstice on 15 June 2018.
