Celebrity Itineraries for Wine Enthusiasts

Celebrity Cruises have recently modified some of their European Itineraries for 2012 to appeal to wine enthusiasts.  For 2012 Celebrity will have six of their eleven ships sailing Europe and they will now be offering seven wine themed sailings.  They have replaced some of the Holy land Itineraries to put on these cruises.  Celebrity has designed the itineraries to offer experiences in the wine countries of Spain, Portugal and France.  The itineraries will feature some overnight stays allowing guests more time to experience fine wines and Champagne.  Celebrity will offer shore excursions for tours of wineries and for tasting.  Onboard the ship Celebrity will also offer things like Champagne brunches, Port and food pairing dinners and events in the ship's cellar masters bar.  There will also be special wine packages available that are extra to the other packages already onboard.  I think it is a shame that Celebrity have had to change some of their itineraries to accommodate the new wine themes as some of my passengers now have to look at different sailings as theirs have been cancelled.   If you have had your holiday booked for a while and can only travel certain dates then it will be upsetting, however I certainly think it is a good idea for Celebrity to have these Wine Theme cruises.
