The Olympics in London this summer is a hot ticket on land and now at sea. “It’s estimated that more than one-billion people will tune in for this year’s Olympic Games in the host city of London, and Celebrity Cruises has arranged the rare opportunity for guests sailing on its modern luxury fleet to be among them,” reads today’s announcement. This translates to a huge win for Celebrity Cruises and their guests.
From the Opening Ceremony to the Closing on August 12, Celebrity will broadcast live via satellite the swimming, diving, gymnastics, rowing, cycling, athletics and basketball events.
Celebrity’s guests will be able to view the Olympic Games within the comfort of their staterooms or in several of the ship’s bars and lounges that are on every Celebrity ship. The specific locations and event times will be listed within each Celebrity ship’s daily newsletter.
Celebrity also reminds us also that other channels will be airing. One has daily compilations of highlights from all 26 sports featured in the Games of the XXX Olympiad and another channel has the events that initially aired live re-broadcasted during more convenient times of day.
