Celebrity Cruises has unveiled an opportunity for travel agents, allowing them to pre-register their clients for select sailings scheduled for 2026. This early access specifically encompasses itineraries within northern Europe and the Mediterranean, offering a strategic lead on information pertaining to pricing and itineraries before these voyages open for general sale on October 1.
This initiative includes highly anticipated sailings from two distinguished ships: the Celebrity Apex, which is slated to return to Southampton for its third season, and the Celebrity Eclipse, departing from Amsterdam in the spring of 2026. Both vessels are well-regarded in the cruise industry for their luxurious offerings and unique travel experiences.
Giles Hawke, Vice President and Managing Director for Celebrity Cruises EMEA, expressed enthusiasm for the pre-registration opening, underscoring its significance for trade partners. He stated, “We’re very excited to be opening pre-registration for new deployment. We’re always dreaming and thinking of ways we can support our trade partners, and this unique initiative is a great way for agents to gain an advantage when it comes to securing suites, staterooms and itineraries that we know sell out fast.”
Agents seeking to capitalize on this opportunity can find further details through Celebrity’s dedicated trade portal or by reaching out to local sales representatives. This direct line of communication facilitates a well-informed booking process, ensuring that agents can effectively meet client needs and preferences well in advance.
Pre-registration embodies a proactive approach, setting the stage for successful client bookings in 2026.
