“In 2023, we’re returning to some of the world’s most popular destinations in Asia, offering our guests more itinerary options for ‘Journey WonderFULL,'” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO of Celebrity Cruises. “Travel opens a person’s heart and mind to the unique story of a people and a place, beyond what is possible through mere viewing of pictures.
