with a series of exciting and enriching onboard activity programs collectively known as Celebrity Life. A rousing redefinition of the cruising experience, Celebrity Life hinges on four major categories— Taste, Learn, Revive, and Play—that run the gamut of onboard entertainment. For each category, Celebrity Cruises partners with some of the world’s best companies in order to provide top-quality instruction and faculties. The following is just a selection of the many Celebrity Life activities that can be found on your ship. After reading, if you’re saying to yourself, “I’ve always wanted to do that,” put down the Kindle and rekindle your love of lifelong learning. After all, that is what Celebrity Life is all about.

Cooking Competition. Watch two cooking virtuosos with the assistance of two guests take to the chopping block to showcase their culinary prowess. The winner receives bragging rights and the coveted title of the day’s best chef. But if you’re not into solids, you’re covered with “chef-

inspired” bartending and Molecular Mixology from the Liquid Chef. Despite the ultramodern equipment and a new slant on drinks, the goal is not to completely alter the concept of making a drink, but rather to find a new way of expanding on a foundation that has been building for centuries.Now that you’re well-versed in the crafts of wine, spirits,

and cuisine, it’s time to put those skills together with The Art of Food and Wine Pairing. Take in teachings from a Cellar Master, who is ready to answer all your pairing questions in this educational (and fun!) workshop.

Taste Say good-bye to ordinary; welcome to palate perfection.

With all the ingredients included in culinary genius, Celebrity promises a delicious vacation. If you have a passion for food, wine, and spirits, Celebrity has a menu of activities that are sure to please even the most discerning foodie.A nod to Old World charm, Champagne High Tea offers a

warm, inviting setting to sip some bubbly and chat with fellow guests. This spin on the English tea tradition features white-glove service, fine bone china, and a string quartet playing softly in the background. Offerings include Tea Forté loose teas, espressos, lattes, and cappuccino accompanied by pastries, fresh berries, and freshly baked scones served with imported Devon cream.Join the connoisseur crowd for Wine Appreciation 101,

where a certified sommelier will teach you the ins and outs of wine-tasting, helping you to discern between varietals and

styles. Soon, you’ll be able to detect a vino’s origin in just one sip. If you’re instead feeling an urge for cocktails, head over to Mixology 101, where you’ll acquire the skills to master the mojito and other delectable liquid concoctions.After you’ve completed the mixology mélange, it’s time

to get schooled in the vessels that will make your libations sparkle. Celebrity has partnered with Riedel to create the ideal combination of culture and class. At the Riedel Comparative Wine Crystal Workshop, highly trained sommeliers will compare and transfer wines into different glasses to illustrate how the volume of a glass, the diameter of its rim, its finish, and the thickness of the crystal affect the flavor and perception of every sip.After all that learning, you’re probably hungry.

learnThe old adage is true: Learning is fun. And in Celebrity Life,

learning is really fun. With Celebrity’s recently expanded Learn program, new interests can be discovered while old passions are reignited. Dive into the visual arts, master new languages and technologies, or learn the steps to an exotic dance. These aren’t regimented, dry lectures; this is hands-on—and sometimes feet-on—learning.Expand your scholarly horizons with exciting presentations

from expert speakers with the Beyond the Podium Speaker Series, featuring Smithsonian Journeys. Or, unleash your inner Picasso at The Art Studio at The Lawn Club. Through a new partnership with ArtCenter/South Florida, you can participate in lectures, demonstrations, and interactive classes, from jewelry making to sketching and painting, all taught by master artists. In an industry-first collaboration, some Solstice-class ships

deck, you’ll witness gaffers practice the ancient technique of glassblowing during a live, engaging demonstration about the art’s history, science, and artistic potential. As you watch compelling pieces like optic bowls and

handkerchief vases made from molten glass start to cool, your imagination will spark when the many useful and transformative properties of glass are considered.Contemporary art tells a story through the depiction of people,

places, events, and feelings. With hundreds of original pieces by both recognized and emerging artists exhibited on each of the fleet’s ships and with the recent introduction of self-guided iPad tours, Celebrity Cruises aims to make its guests art authorities. After you’ve been stirred by visual art, create a new kind of

art: movement. With Celebrity’s Let’s Dance program, loosen your hips and jump in line for salsa, jive, cha-cha, and waltz. Join members of the Celebrity Singers and Dancers professional dance troupe, who will patiently and skillfully show you the steps. Now you’re ready for “Everybody Dance,” the cruise line’s version of Dancing with the Stars. Even if you’ll be the only one dancing, remind your friends

and family to bring their iPads to record some of the action and then meet them at the Celebrity iLounge, the first Authorized Apple Reseller at Sea. Learn how to turn your vacation memories into a masterpiece with one of 18 classes featuring iPhoto, MacBook Pro, iPod, iPad, and iLife software. The Celebrity iLounge is equipped with 26 state-of-the-art MacBook workstations, a retail space, and an Enrichment Center that offers all the iTraining you can imagine.

Wi-Fi, why not send an email home in a different language? Luckily for you, Celebrity Cruises offers Rosetta Stone to introduce you to learning 13 new languages. Individual and group classes are available. What do you have to lose? ¡Vamos!
