Celebrity Cruises offers free upgrade to balcony cabin and amazing savings for early bookings for 2012-2013 summer

Back to work and feeling blue about the lack of summer sun during your Christmas holiday? Why not cheer yourself up by planning your next holiday on a fabulous cruise around Australia, New Zealand or from Singapore to Sydney?

Celebrity Cruises is offering sun starved Kiwis the opportunity to bask in the sun on their own personal balcony by offering a free upgrade from an interior to a balcony cabin by booking early on their newest ship in the region, Celebrity Solstice, which arrives in Australia and New Zealand in November this year.

Celebrity Cruises is also offering incredible Early Bird savings of up to $2000 on a fantastic range of cruises on Celebrity Solstice. And to make it even more attractive for New Zealanders, there are a number of cruises departing from Auckland.

The US$750 million, 122,000 ton superliner, Celebrity Solstice, was launched less than three years ago as one of five groundbreaking ‘Solstice Class’ vessels. Australasia is the first region outside the Caribbean and Europe to have a Solstice Class ship and Celebrity Solstice will be the highest rated, newest and most luxurious cruise ship ever to be based in the region.

Celebrity Solstice brings a number of ‘firsts’ to local cruising, including the Lawn Club, with one acre of freshly manicured grass on the upper decks; a glass blowing studio; and 86 per cent of her cabins have their own private balcony – the highest of any superliner in the world.

To welcome Celebrity Solstice Down Under, Celebrity Cruises is offering Early Bird savings on a range of 12 to 18 night cruises in Australia and New Zealand, sailing from Sydney, Auckland and Fremantle, and also on a 16 night cruise from Singapore to Sydney, departing on November 23, 2012.

Auckland Departures

An 18 night Australia and New Zealand cruise will be especially appealing to New Zealanders as it departs from Auckland on January 28, 2013 and offers savings of $620 on an interior cabin, with an Early Bird booking priced from $3,769 – and remember there is a free upgrade to a balcony cabin.  This 18 night cruise on Celebrity Solstice offers a range of port calls down the East Coast, then visits Milford, Doubtful and Dusky Sounds, before cruising to Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, Esperance, Albany and completing the cruise in Perth.

For those who are time short or who prefer a shorter cruise there is a 12 night cruise to Sydney, which departs from Auckland on January 4 and March 14, 2013. Book on this cruise now, and save $320 on an Interior cabin, with an Early Bird price of $2,369, plus receive a free upgrade to a balcony cabin.
But Early Birds need to be quick, as the sale finishes on February 29, 2012.
