6 1 and have two ships there,” says Oates. “Celebrity Solstice will be returning to operate itineraries from Singapore and Hong Kong to Thailand and Vietnam. And we are introducing a new ‘Asia Explorer’ programme on Celebrity Millennium, which goes to new ports in the region, including Bali and Sri Lanka.” Oates and the Celebrity Cruises team are always looking to provide unique experiences through itineraries and destinations. The cruise line aims to offer something new for its loyal guests by searching for ports and itineraries that will inspire travellers looking to discover the world. “We partner very closely with our shore excursions team, because it is not only about opening up the world by simply bringing guests to these places, but also by exposing them to the culture, history, natural beauty and cuisine of these places,” says Oates. “Onboard, we offer ways for travellers to further connect with the destination. “For example, we offer chef-led tours like our market experience in Puerto Vallarta and the recently launched ‘Captain Curated Shore Excursions’ throughout Greece, which pay homage to the brand’s Greek roots. With this new programme travellers can enjoy bucketlist experiences like visiting Olympia and a family-owned olive mill, followed by a cooking lesson. There are also opportunities to indulge in the flavours of Mykonos through a walking tour exploring the town’s best-kept secrets as well as learning how beer is made and trade delicious locally brewed libations at the Harma Microbrewery in the quaint seaside town of Chania.” CFIP “ Onboard, we offer ways for travellers to further connect with the destination” In 2023, Celebrity Beyond will transport vacationers to Greece, Turkey, Italy, Croatia and Montenegro
