Celebrity Wine Cruise

By guest blogger Steve Newman

Guests onboard a Celebrity cruise departing between 1 November and 11 December 2010 will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of exclusive wine-related events including the cruise line's second annual onboard Wine Harvest Celebration.

Highlights of this special onboard event include an emphasis on French food, wine and spirits, all presented in partnership with the French Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and available on Celebrity's ships from November 1.

Celebrity Cruises will reprise its 2009 industry-first unveiling of Beaujolais Nouveau across the fleet on 18 November (19 November on Celebrity Century). Hosted by a guest speaker and Celebrity's own Cellar Master, the event will offer guests the opportunity to sip the eagerly-anticipated light wine from oak casks and commemorative bottles, while enjoying live music and dancing, canapés, gourmet French cheese and a roast carving station.

Throughout the course of the celebration, a "Celebrity Wine Harvest Exhibition" will be open to all guests on embarkation day. Hosted by certified sommeliers, it features a complimentary glass of house wine, canapés and hors d'oeuvres, and an overview of the varied wine experiences and packages available for guests, paired with the opportunity to make reservations for limited-capacity events.

The Wine Harvest Celebration will be offered on nine of Celebrity's 10 ships; Celebrity Xpedition, the 92-guest mega-yacht sailing year-round in the Galapagos Islands, will not offer these activities.
