There is no time like today to start dreaming about your next cruise vacation.
Celebrity Cruises just announced their Spring into Summer Sale, which is good for most itineraries between May 3, 2023 and April 30, 2025.
Between May 3 and July 6, travelers can save on cruises to destinations worldwide. During this time, Celebrity's offering buy one, get one (BOGO) 75% off the cruise fare, as well as up to $800 in savings and up to an additional $800 in onboard credit. Plus, if booked over Memorial Day weekend, you will get another $50 of onboard credit per stateroom!
Since the sales event includes itineraries through April 2025, you can book now and cruise later. It is a great time to start thinking about your 2024 summer vacation if you are not ready to travel in the immediate future.
Here's what you can expect with Celebrity's latest deal.
Discounted fares for the second guest
You can buy one, get one up to 75% off cruise fare. You will get the advertised 75% off the second guest if you place a non-refundable deposit. Those who opt to place a refundable deposit will receive 50% off the second guest.
Onboard credit and fare savings
The amount of onboard credit you will be eligible for depends on the length of your selected cruise.
Sailings that are 3- to 5-nights will see a bonus of $50 credit per person, while guests on cruises that are 6- to 9-nights will get $100 in onboard credit. Finally, any cruise that is longer than 10-nights is subject to $200 of onboard credit per person.
If, for instance, you have four guests staying in the same stateroom during a 7-night cruise, you will get $400 in credit to spend onboard, whether that is for a Celebrity drink package, shore excursions, or to dine at a specialty restaurant!
Likewise, the fare savings is dependent on the length of the cruise. Cruises that are 3- to 5-nights will save $50 per person off the fare, 6- to 9-nights will save $100, and those that are 10+ nights will save $200. In this case, a couple traveling on a 10-night cruise would save $400 off their total fare.

What sailings are excluded from the Spring into Summer Sale?
As mentioned earlier the Spring into Summer Sale BOGO promotion is not applicable for cruisetours. The only part of the sale that will apply to Alaska cruisetours is the onboard credit and fare savings, and that is based on length of cruise, not land tour portion of the booking.
The most notable exclusion, however, are cruises onboard Celebrity Xpedition Class ships to the Galapagos Islands. Moreover, the cruise must be 3-nights or longer.
Per the terms and conditions of the sale, "Offers are not combinable with Travel Agent, Interline, Net, Exciting Deals, Employee Cruise Rates, or worker cabins."
Why should you plan your cruise in advance?
By planning your cruise in advance, you can rest assured knowing that you will get the best possible rate. If you book and later notice that the fare has decreased before your final payment date, you can give Celebrity a call, and they will honor the lower price. Note that depending on your booking conditions, you may lose certain perks, though, such as onboard credit!
Additionally, it gives you more time to budget and save up for your cruise vacation. Since you will have time to pay the fare off, you can work towards securing your cruise add-ons, such as shore excursions, drink packages, and more. Plus, you will also need to worry about travel logistics, and waiting until the last minute could prove to be a financial disaster.
Even if you do not plan to take a vacation in 2023 or already have one booked, the Spring into Summer Sale is a great time to start planning your 2024 or early 2025 cruise!
