Celebrity Cruises launches perk-filled ‘123 go’ promotion

Celebrity Cruises has launched a perk-filled 123 go! promotion that will greatly defray much of the cost of cruising. It’s the brand's biggest promotion to-date offering three powerful options for passengers to pick for their Celebrity vacation.

The three exceptional options include:

  • Free "Classic Beverage Package" for two, allowing guests to pair Celebrity's delectable cuisine with their favorite beverages – representing a value of up to $616 for two guests, based on a 7-night sailing, and including coverage of beverage gratuities; or,
  • Free gratuities, allowing vacationers to fully relax, knowing tips for Celebrity's expert staff are covered – representing a value of up to $210 per stateroom based on a 7-night sailing and includes coverage of stateroom, waiter, assistant waiter and head waiter gratuities; or,
  • An onboard credit of up to $300 per stateroom, depending on the selected itinerary length, and available for guests to apply to shore excursions, specialty dining, wine tastings, spa treatments, boutique items, or any other onboard purchase.

And travelers booking a cruise in Europe on any of the line's five modern luxury ships in the region have the opportunity to select two of the three special options.

Celebrity's "123 go!" offers are valid for an oceanview stateroom or higher bookings on all ships (with the exception of Celebrity Xpedition), and all sailings from February 2013 through April 2014. There’s boat loads of sailings to choose from, like nearly 450 sailings, but you must book a cruise between January 7 through January 27, 2013.

"To complement our incredible new promotion in a fun and engaging way, we've also introduced an interactive online program called, 'Experience it,' which, like our '123 go!' offer, puts consumers front and center," said Celebrity's vice president of marketing Lisa Kauffman. "The video invites them to see and select where they want to go from among Celebrity's sailings in all continents, then to click on what they want to do onboard, whether it's relaxing in the AquaSpa or playing in the fitness center; enjoying acooking class or cocktails; indulging in a culinary journey at Qsine or open-air barbecuing at The Lawn Club Grill."

Celebrity partnered with Blue State Digital (BSD) to create "Experience it," which can be viewed here: http://experiencecelebrity.com/.
