CELEBRITY Cruises is continuing to elevate ‘The Retreat’, its “ship-within-a-ship” experience, as the line witnesses a shift upward in its booking trends.
Speaking from Celebrity’s President’s Cruise last week, Senior Vice President Hotel Operations Keith Lane said The Retreat is the cruise line’s best offering, and the category that typically sells first on its ships.
“Our sailings sell out from the top suites down,” he said.
“With consumer interest in cruising at an all-time high, we’re increasingly seeing a shift in spending toward unique and elevated experiences at sea and The Retreat offers just that – unparalleled luxury and convenience where the world really does revolve around our guests,” Lane added.
He said this is why Celebrity is continuing to elevate The Retreat experience, in order to continue to set the product apart.
“We recently introduced a Retreat Destination Experience Specialist for The Retreat guests,” he explained.
“This dedicated crew member takes their shore excursions to the next level, from planning destination-related activities to ensuring smooth transfers when discovering Celebrity’s most sought-after ports of call.
“New culinary enhancements at Luminae, The Retreat’s exclusive restaurant, personalised daily in-suite delights, and a complimentary minibar add to the ever-growing list of perks and amenities available to guests of The Retreat.” MS
