Celebrity ups year-round Caribbean cruises, charts Perfect Day at CocoCay

The Edge-class Celebrity Beyond will sail all year from South Florida while Celebrity Reflection will offer short cruises including weekend getaways. Both ships will call Perfect Day at CocoCay.

'New and historic'

'Our customers are consistently asking for more opportunities to visit this stunning region year-round, have more weekend options so they can get away easier and have expressed a desire for a private island destination,' Celebrity President Laura Hodges Bethge said. 'By introducing this new program, we can meet this demand and offer something new and historic to all our guests.'

Hodges Bethge knows Perfect Day at CocoCay very well; she oversaw its development in an earlier Royal Caribbean International role.

In January, the destination expands with Hideaway Beach, an adults-only area with private cabanas and a new signature food outlet.

Celebrity Beyond's six- and eight-night cruises

Sailing from South Florida, Celebrity Beyond will offer a mix of six- and eight-cruises to destinations like Grand Cayman, The Bahamas, Mexico, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, along with Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Celebrity Reflection's three-/four-night getaways

For the first time, travelers will have the opportunity to get away every weekend on Celebrity Reflection's new three-night itienraries from Friday to Monday, or four-night cruises from Monday to Friday. Nearly 40 departures will offer the chance to visit Perfect Day, while also calling at Key West and Bimini.
