Last year’s Canary Islands cruise sold out within hours, and ever since returning home, I’ve been asked to repeat this departure. So, we’re bringing it back and Celebrity Cruises has made the itinerary even better. Our new Sunshine Across the Atlantic journey is longer, more relaxed, and now includes a very special highlight: an overnight port stay in Madeira, one of the most sought-after island destinations in the Atlantic.
We’ll once again sail aboard the elegant Celebrity Infinity, a ship last year’s guests absolutely loved. Unlike mega-ships that can feel crowded, Celebrity Infinity offers the perfect balance: large enough for delicious dining, varied entertainment and amenities, yet intimate enough to feel relaxed, comfortable and easy to navigate. It truly feels like a floating boutique hotel.
Even better, every guest enjoys a balcony stateroom, plus the Classic Beverage Package and Wi-Fi are included throughout the voyage. From the moment we leave winter behind, you can relax, sip, connect and enjoy the sea.
If a winter escape is calling your name, I invite you to join me.
Based on last year, I expect this journey to fill quickly.
