Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­cruise details for Celebrity sailing to Japan

Only ocean view room categories are currently available; all of the other categories, such as the interior, verandah, and suite options, have already sold out. Given the popularity of the cruise, the final options are now more affordable, but they may not be available for long. 

The ocean view rooms sleep two to four guests, have a bathroom, and are approximately 171 to 381 square feet. They feature a large porthole window and prices vary based on the location on the ship. 

Celebrity offers two separate packages, one that includes drinks, basic Wifi, and tips — and one that doesn't. If you aren't a drinker or don't plan on using Wifi, it won't benefit you to get the pricier package. If you do plan on enjoying some adult beverages and surfing the web, the packages will generally make your cruise cheaper. You will have to pay tips, regardless. 

The pricing for two people in the ocean view stateroom comes to $2,718 USD, which converts to roughly $3,463.49 CAD. The total per person pricing works out to approximately $1731.75 CAD including all taxes and fees. That price breaks down to about $123.70 CAD per day. 

The cruise fare is currently over 50 per cent off, but Celebrity does not indicate how long they will continue the offer. 

Not only does that cost include your transportation on a beautiful five-star vessel, but it also includes meals, entertainment, snacks, and lodging. The only thing it doesn’t factor in is alcohol, but you may opt to purchase a drink package that can reduce the cost of your spending.

Looking for some more affordable options? Check out this cruise that visits magical Hawaii at a steal and sails round-trip to Vancouver, too. In other words, you never have to catch a flight: you can just stroll onto the ship at Canada Place and stroll off upon your return home. 

If you are looking to try cruising but don't want to commit to a great deal of time, a repositioning cruise from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­to San Francisco costs under $500 CAD.
