Celebrity Cruises - The best value cruises from the UK

I have always been a big fan of Celebrity Cruises, they have a huge fleet of modern ships and offer 5 star cruising with fantastic facilities, from relaxing days in the Aqua Spa to a choice of flavours in the Martini Bar.

For the last few years they have been really working on increasing their presence in the UK market and have offered sailings from Southampton at very competitive prices. The only problem is that as an American cruise line they so tend to be pricey on board. For 2013 though they are making things easier  and much better value for the UK customer. This summer they will have 2 ships sailing from the UK and are currently offering a complimentary Classic Drinks Package on both ships for bookings made during January and February. This package can normally be purhased for $50per person per day so offers a saving of up to $1400 per cabin.

The Classic Drinks Package will give you unlimited

Beers up to $5 per serving
Spirits up to to $8 per serving
Cocktails up to $8 per serving

Wines up to $8 per serving

Coca Cola brand cans including Fanta and Sprite

Freshley squeezed and bottled juices

Premium teas and coffees

Bottled water

Celebrity Infinity sails from Harwich to northern Europe, around the British Isles, the Norwegian Fjords and Iceland and prices start from just £919pp for a 10 night sailing,  just £91 per night including your drinks.

Celebrity Eclipse sails from Southampton, offering a range of itineraries to the Fjords, the Baltics and south to the Med and Canaries. Eclipse has sailed from Southampton for the last few years  and received good reviews from UK passengers.

Celebrity have always been one of my favourite cruise lines and now with this offering they are definitely my no 1 choice for cruising from the UK in 2013.
