MIAMI – November 1, 2012 – Vacationers eager to experience Europe in modern luxury style now have an offer from Celebrity Cruises that is likely to be difficult to refuse: Through the “Air Today, Relax Tomorrow” promotion, consumers who book a veranda-category stateroom or suite on any Celebrity Europe cruise or cruisetour departing from April through September 2013, then book air however they choose, will receive a discount of $1,000 per stateroom.

This special offer opens first to Celebrity’s loyal Captain’s Club members from November 1-7, 2012, with a special bonus of double the loyalty credits. The offer is open to the general public from November 8-December 2, 2012.
