The Vakantie Festival offers an ideal opportunity to meet and inspire this target group in person. We want to show that cruising is stylish, comfortable and surprisingly versatile.”
Celebrity Cruises is known for its modern fleet, high-quality gastronomy and attention to service and sustainability.

T.J. van Apeldoorn, co-founder of the Vakantie Festival, is pleased with this expansion: “The fact that both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises are participating is a confirmation for us that the festival is widely supported, from adventurous to premium travel concepts. Celebrity brings an elegant, modern style that perfectly matches the expectations of today’s traveler.”
