<strong>Celebrity</strong>’s <strong>Caribbean</strong><br />
Where the luxuries of nature and man find perfect harmony.<br />
The <strong>Caribbean</strong> inspires an almost universal fantasy for wouldbe<br />
visitors. A fantasy of a carefree vacation on an alabaster<br />
beach, where you breakfast on mangoes and papaya and<br />
lunch on lobster and conch. And all the while you breathe<br />
in the glorious island perfume of pine apple, sea salt and<br />
rum, serenaded by the gentle lapping of ocean waves.<br />
With such high aspirations, you might wonder if anything could<br />
really be that great. But if you’ve ever experienced the <strong>Caribbean</strong><br />
on <strong>Celebrity</strong>, you know the fantasy is quite real. It’s heavenly, with<br />
all the sun, sand and frosty drinks you could ever want. You’ll<br />
also realize, happily, there’s a whole lot more to it than that. We<br />
know the <strong>Caribbean</strong> experience isn’t a singular one. They are as<br />
varied as the islands, the residents, and the people who visit. To<br />
mirror the diversity you’ll find in this beautiful part of the world, we<br />
offer six types of itineraries to capture the particular <strong>Caribbean</strong><br />
essence you’re looking for. Western, Eastern, Southern, Special,<br />
Exotic and Ultimate itineraries each give you slightly different<br />
perspectives through different ports of call, but all of them are<br />
fabulous vacations. You have only to decide which one suits you<br />
03<br />
best. No matter how you choose to explore the <strong>Caribbean</strong>, <strong>Celebrity</strong>’s goal<br />
is to make sure our onboard programs and amenities complement and<br />
enhance the places you’ll visit. You’ll enjoy expert-led onboard discussions<br />
about local art, music, history, geography and wildlife. And then there’s our<br />
special Savor the <strong>Caribbean</strong>SM program, which brings world-class chefs<br />
and wine enthusiasts on board for classes, tastings, lectures and cooking<br />
demonstrations. Every day is a refreshing banquet of choices on board<br />
<strong>Celebrity</strong>, each one better than the last. And with gentle pampering from our<br />
onboard family, you’ll start each day recharged and invigorated, even if all you<br />
want to do that day is soak in the rays. Welcome to <strong>Celebrity</strong>’s <strong>Caribbean</strong>.<br />

Sun, Fun and<br />
So Much More<br />
You’ll leave the <strong>Caribbean</strong> with a lot more than a healthy glow.<br />
Walk among the ruins and mingle with the ghosts of the fabled<br />
Mayans. It’s thought that between 200 A.D. and 950 A.D., Belize<br />
was the heart of Mayan civilization, but it is from Honduras that<br />
you’ll be able to visit archeological sites and museums dedicated<br />
to furthering your insight into this incredible culture and people. You<br />
can even explore modern-day representations of their villages, where<br />
you’ll learn how Mayan methods of harvesting palm thatch resulted<br />
in roof structures that lasted up to twenty-five years, an enviable<br />
feat even in modern times, let alone over a thousand years ago.<br />
For those who love wildlife, the islands of the <strong>Caribbean</strong> offer<br />
countless subjects to appreciate, in the water, on land and in<br />
the air. The warm, shallow waters provide a perfect habitat for<br />
unique coral reefs, home to gorgeous and interesting marine<br />
life. They are also ideal shelter for a variety of turtles. (Grand<br />
Cayman has a wonderful giant sea-turtle habitat.) If you’ve<br />
never tried snorkeling, it’s an easy skill to learn, and the payoff<br />
is breathtaking. For divers, it gets even better, with thrills like<br />
wreck-diving off the coasts of Barbados and Grand Cayman.<br />
From Puerto Limón, Costa Rica, you can visit Tortuguero, one<br />
of the best places to see nature’s diversity. One trip down the<br />
canals might include seeing caimans, sloths, different kinds<br />
of monkeys, and sea otters, just to name a few. Birders won’t be<br />
disappointed either. In addition to toucans at Tortuguero, you’ll find the<br />
<strong>Caribbean</strong> is a haven for birdwatchers. Sanctuaries can be found on<br />
many islands, and most feature species endemic to that region.<br />
Outdoor enthusiasts will discover there’s no end to the possibilities in<br />
the <strong>Caribbean</strong>. Take a hike up Jamaica’s Dunn’s River Falls, perhaps the<br />
only river walk in the world that has you actually walking, from start to<br />
finish, in a river. Don’t forget to explore Barbados, with its magnificent<br />
flower forests and historic 18th-century sugarcane plantations and mills.<br />
St. Lucia will have you marveling at its towering twin conical peaks and<br />
simmering volcanic vents. And trekking through the environmentally<br />
pristine rain forests of Costa Rica is a treat for all your senses.<br />
And then there’s shopping. The boutiques of St. Maarten always serve<br />
up a warm island welcome to the world of French couture. Find a bargain<br />
(or many) in St. Thomas. Visit the artist village of Altos de Chavón in the<br />
Dominican Republic and find a bit of the <strong>Caribbean</strong> to display back home.<br />
The <strong>Caribbean</strong>’s main attractions just might be the sun, surf<br />
and sand. But if you have the energy to dig a little deeper,<br />
there’s always something exciting to do in the <strong>Caribbean</strong>.<br />

marketplace. Duty-free bargains are found<br />
everywhere. Shop for a coral sculpture for the<br />
coffee table, the Swiss watch you’ve always<br />
wanted, or simply a bottle of island rum to share<br />

hardest places in the <strong>Caribbean</strong> to leave behind.<br />

Shore Excursions<br />
You’ll leave the <strong>Caribbean</strong> with a lot more than a healthy glow.<br />
Shore excursions can provide you with a colorful snapshot of<br />
day-to-day life, the essential history and the natural wonders<br />
of <strong>Caribbean</strong> destinations. They allow you to experience<br />
specific things that interest you. They’re truly a worryfree<br />
way to get the most out of your time on land.<br />
The Garifuna & Mangrove Tunnels shore excursion takes you to<br />
Yubu to watch the traditional dances of the Garifuna, performed<br />
here since 1797 by descendants of African slaves. You’ll also<br />
get to watch cassava bread being made on a mud stove, basket<br />
weavers at work and wood carvings created before your eyes.<br />
Or visit Jonesville, a stilt-village where you will board a motorized<br />
dory for a trip through the reef-protecting mangrove tunnels.<br />
Here, red mangroves form a canopy that covers the canal from<br />
Jonesville to Caribe Point Bight, a 30-minute round-trip by<br />
boat. This excursion in Roatán, Honduras, provides great photo<br />
opportunities from hilltops, beaches and among the mangroves.<br />
In Puerto Limón, Costa Rica, choose the Costa Flores Tropical<br />
Flowers Garden excursion to explore one of the largest tropical flower<br />
and palm farms in the world. It covers 300 acres, with over 600<br />
varieties of tropical flowers and palms. Several rain and humid forests<br />
border the farm, which has been fertilized for thousands of years by<br />
Costa Rica’s rich volcanic soil. Plus, there are lots of shore excursion<br />
opportunities if you’re looking for adventure, including the Loterie Farm<br />
Treetop Adventure Tour in St. Maarten. It takes you soaring between<br />
the tops of majestic 200-year-old mango and mahogany trees via ziplines,<br />
rope swings and bridges suspended from platforms mounted<br />
in the trees of the forest. It’s the most exhilarating way to experience<br />
the rich biodiversity of St. Maarten’s only rainforest microclimate<br />
(home to the largest bird habitat in the northeastern <strong>Caribbean</strong>).<br />
For all of the thrill in a different setting, Panama’s Monkey<br />
Watch is an invigorating 30-minute ride at high speed right<br />
through the heart of the Panama Canal. You’ll slow down to<br />
enter the labyrinth of jungle-covered islands of Lake Gatún. In<br />
this protected area, the wildlife is plentiful, and you’re likely to<br />
encounter capuchin monkeys, 3-toed sloth, howler monkeys,<br />
various kinds of toucans and other bird life, as well as crocodiles,<br />
turtles and a wealth of butterflies. This is an exceptional place<br />
to experience the sights and sounds of the jungle up close.<br />
These are just a few of the dozens of shore excursions offered as part<br />
of <strong>Celebrity</strong>’s <strong>Caribbean</strong>. Our goal is to make sure you find even more<br />
than you hoped for as you decide how to experience the <strong>Caribbean</strong>.<br />
