Celebrity Cruises Announces First-Of-Its-Kind Complimentary Black Car Service Exclusively For Tri-State Residents

A modern, upscale Bermuda or European cruise vacation begins the moment guests step out of the door

NEW YORK– March 1, 2014 – In keeping with its commitment to ‘modern luxury’ cruise experiences and service excellence, Celebrity Cruises has announced its first-ever complimentary Black Car Service for Suites program exclusively to residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. 
 
Beginning Saturday, March 1, guests who book between March 1 and March 31, 2014 in any of Celebrity Cruises’ suites for any 7-night Bermuda or Europe sailing will have the advantage of complimentary roundtrip black car service between their home and the port in Cape Liberty, New Jersey or local airport in the NYC area. 
 
“From a private chauffeur to a European-style butler serving dinner in-suite, Celebrity’s guests will be indulged with intuitive service throughout their entire vacation,” offers David Meihoefer, Celebrity’s New York team manager.
 
Guests can relax while the black car professional chauffeur from GroundLink Transportation takes them safely from their home to Cape Liberty or one of the New York City area major airports and back again at the ship’s return. The car service takes away the travelling hassle and anxiety that guests may experience, substituting that with comfortable, spacious surroundings and reliable timing, and staff familiar with the most efficient driving routes to and from the port or gateway. Chauffeurs are well-trained, skilled and will assist guests in carrying luggage as well.  Each vehicle is equipped with GPS installed systems and high-tech amenities, and are well maintained, insured and licensed.
 
Once on board a modern, luxurious Celebrity ship, guests can unwind in upscale suite accommodations with all the right, tasteful details, savor globally-inspired cuisine and enjoy breathtaking views of Bermuda or Europe, all from the comforts of their own private veranda. Guests may also indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, unique shore excursions and more.
