More sailings, more destinations, more ways to save

Celebrity is offering Black Friday pricing throughout November. Through Monday, December 8, guests can receive up to 75% off the second guest along with up to $1,000 in additional savings when booking by December 2.

The promotion is valid for sailings departing now through May 10, 2028, covering more than 600 itineraries and 280 destinations across all seven continents.
