Washington – Budapest, Prague, Amsterdam, and Lausanne are all on the list for the innovative pre- and post- cruise experience, offered by the company Celebrity Cruises.

But what exactly do pre-cruise and post-cruise experiences involve? 

Before or after a typical cruise happens, guests are guided through a multi-day experience designed to explore unique sites in beautiful cities. 

Celebrity Cruises described these city outings as “real, personal, and authentic” as guests are led through the cities by storytellers and people who know the city inside and out. 

This program ditches the popular tourist spots and mainly goes for the local-only ones to immerse guests in the city’s culture.

Focused on the cities and their rich history, culture, and architecture, this smooth cruise opportunity is ideal for those looking for a new way to travel and learn about the world around them.

The program is two to three nights long, so everything is planned in advance, with no effort from the guests themselves. 

From curated hotel stays to breakfast every morning, this customizable experience is suited to the guest’s preferences and passions. 

Themed tours are another attraction included in this program. The travelers can take one tour each day and can choose from at least three themes that suit their personal interests, like history, art, or even food. 

Programs in Prague and Budapest are in the lineup for 2027, and Amsterdam and Lausanne are added for the 2028 programs.
