New wine experience on Celebrity Cruises
CELEBRITY Cruises now offers a comprehensive wine
experience on most of its ships. Passengers have access
to around 400 wines, either as half or full bottles or by
the glass. The Vineyards wine package allows passengers
to choose from three, five or seven bottles of wine to
be included in their cruise. Sommeliers in the bars and
restaurants help passengers to select the best wine
for their meals and an on-board wine programme lets
passengers expand their knowledge of wine.
