From first timers to seasoned cruisers alike, more and more people are looking for a cruise holiday to take them somewhere that allows them to challenge the elements whether that be coming face-to-face with some of the rarest animals in the world or trying something new on an active shore excursion.
Keen to tap into this innate desire of people to embrace the different and challenging, Celebrity Cruises has recently appointed explorer Ben Fogle as our new Destination Expert.
He’s been cast away on a Scottish island, survived the treacherous elements in the Antarctic and trekked the length of the Sahara but there’s one travel experience up until last week he had yet to have the good fortune of taking part in – a cruise. That all changed last week when the popular writer and broadcaster set sail with Celebrity Cruises on a Mediterranean voyage to formally kick off the partnership and begin his research with the ultimate view of shaping some of the experiences guests have whilst on holiday.
Having earlier this year created a series of informative and interactive destination guides to help consumers choose the best cruise for them, in his new role – and now firmly back on dry land – Ben and Celebrity Cruises will launch a series of exclusive ‘Ben Fogle inspired’ adventure shore excursions which will be rolled out in 2014. Already leading the way in innovative and exclusive shore excursions, Celebrity Cruises have also launched ‘Celebrity Exclusives’ which include a selection of once in lifetime off the beaten path type experiences such as a private helicopter rides to some of the world’s most remote destinations to snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters of Mountain Point in southeast Alaska.
For adventure hungry holidaymakers out there, my advice is to fasten your seat belt, put on your helmet and pick a cruise or shore excursion that gets you out of your comfort zone. For inspiration, check out Ben’s first blog post on www.celebritycruises.co.uk/blog where Ben talks about his travel experiences and life as an explorer and adventurer. Ben certainly has inspired me to try something different and hopefully he will inspire you too.
