Celebrity Cruises: Wine Harvest Celebration

We have exciting news for wine lovers – it’s the season to celebrate not only your fondness of wine but also the seasonal harvesting of the grapes. The timing of when the grapes are picked from the vine is one of the most crucial steps in the winemaking process. As such, we’ll be celebrating this year’s vintage with a variety of exclusive onboard events on select ships and sailings from November through mid-December, 2009.
