Can you tell us about some of the unique experiences and amenities that set Celebrity Cruises apart ? Katina Athanasiou : Just as we find that our guests are culturally curious , we remain curious about our guests ’ wants and needs and work to deliver unique activities and amenities throughout our fleet . With personalized experiences in more than 300 destinations on all seven continents , we provide unparalleled service , globally inspired interior spaces , Michelin-starred dining and innovative wellness opportunities .
We created The Retreat — which is the ultimate vacation experience and it ’ s only on Celebrity . The Retreat includes stunning suites , a private restaurant , an exclusive lounge and a sundeck . It is my favorite experience on board and it ’ s not just mine — we were awarded the 2023 Travel Weekly Magellan Gold Award for Suite Design for our Edge Villas for the 5th consecutive year and the Gold Award for Suite Design for our Iconic Suite for the 4th consecutive year . We value these awards and are proud of the thoughtful way we have built our ships . The suite experience is also the best when traveling with friends and family . The lounge is always our pre-dinner meet-up for a cocktail ! It ’ s a beautiful , comfortable space for us to sit inside or outside while we recap our favorite memories of the day .
We also continue to lead the industry with our onboard experiences . Our entertainment programming was just awarded four Gold Magellan Awards and two Silver Magellan Awards for various live shows ! As a former dancer myself , I continue to be awe-struck by this team .
Finally , earlier this year we were the first ocean cruise line to ever earn the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Star Award . Being first was a true honor .
