Eastbound Transatlantic Cruise HOP

May 7-22, 2011

Ft. Lauderdale, FL, to Amsterdam, Holland

 Larry & Darlyne Johnson, #48144

Cruise with Celebrity onboard the newly revamped Constellation. During this 15-day cruise, you’ll bask in the luxury of the Constellation, where you can take a wine tour in the Cellar Masters, dance the night away in the Reflections Lounge, relax by the pool, or luxuriate in the Aquaspa.  Of course, there are also the impressive ports you’ll be visiting during this cruise such as Ponta Delgada, Azores; did you even know this place existed?  The city gates, “Portag da Cidade,” constructed in the form of three arches during the 18^th century, deserve special mention and launch your cultural tour through the city to see the three imposing churches of the city, “Matriz de São Sebastião,” “São Pedro,” and “São João,” all of which are authentic pieces of art from the 16^th, 17^th and 18^th centuries.

Paris, France.  Who hasn’t romanticized about one day experiencing the magic of the Eiffel Tower or gazing into the eyes of the Mona Lisa?  You’ll have a full 14 hours to explore this city and gaze into those eyes at the world famous Louvre, visit the art galleries and museums, and explore the beautiful parks and gardens that Paris has to offer.  In fact, Paris has something for just about everyone. 

These cities all have so much more to offer you, so join us on this cruise and come discover for yourself all there is to see on this HOP.
