Celebrity sails these shorter itineraries in Alaska,Bermuda, East/West/Southern Caribbean, Europe and thePacific Coast. We also sail an incredible ship year-round inthe Galapagos Islands.

Celebrity highly recommends 7 Night cruises for a numberof reasons. Not only will you be paying less than a shorterevent at a land based hotel/resort but also:
