Celebrity Cruises goes all-inclusive from Ottawa

Following the success of its sold out March all-inclusive vacation packages originating from Hamilton, Ont. Celebrity Cruises has announced that it will be offering direct departures from Ottawa’s Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

“We have experienced exceptional demand for our all-inclusive offer,” said Ken Brooks (pictured), Celebrity’s director of sales, Canada, “and we are now pleased to welcome aboard guests from the Ottawa region.”

After selling out packages originating from Hamilton in just three weeks, Brooks announced weekly Saturday departures in the month of March, with non-stop flights from Ottawa to Ft. Lauderdale. From Ft. Lauderdale airport, a complimentary ground transfer will transport guests to the Port of Miami where vacationers will set sail for seven nights aboard the Celebrity Reflection — the newest member of Celebrity’s award-winning Solstice Class fleet.

The itinerary features St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Puerto Rico and all costs are covered, including airfare, transfers and the cruise (meals, drinks and even gratuities). The “all included” package starts from $1,999 p.p.
