Description
This carefully curated holiday pairs the soft white sands of Florida’s Gulf Coast with an elegant cruise through the Bahamas and Key West. It is a journey shaped by clear seas, relaxed coastal living and refined experiences, designed for travellers who value comfort, scenery and a sense of escape.
Clearwater Beach, Florida
Your stay on Florida’s Gulf Coast places you on a peaceful stretch of shoreline where the sand is powdery white and the waters are famously clear and calm. Sheraton Sand Key Resort enjoys a prime beachfront setting slightly removed from the busier areas, offering space, privacy and uninterrupted views across the Gulf of Mexico.
Days here unfold easily between the beach and the resort’s lagoon-style pools, with warm breezes and endless ocean horizons setting the pace. The resort offers multiple dining options on site, from relaxed beachfront meals to casual evening dining, ideal for unhurried days that blend seamlessly into sunset.
For food lovers, the surrounding Clearwater area is known for its excellent coastal dining. Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill is a local institution for fresh seafood and Gulf views, while Caretta on the Gulf delivers refined beachfront dining with a focus on seasonal ingredients. The historic Columbia Restaurant on Sand Key offers Spanish-Cuban specialities in an atmospheric setting, and Palm Pavilion is perfect for a laid-back evening by the water.
Celebrity Summit Cruise to the Bahamas and Key West
Following your time on the coast, you will board Celebrity Summit, a ship known for its elegant atmosphere and thoughtfully designed spaces. Life on board feels relaxed and polished, with service that anticipates rather than intrudes.
Dining is a highlight, with Tuscan Grille serving classic Italian-inspired dishes in a stylish setting and Sushi on Five offering fresh, carefully prepared sushi and Japanese specialities. The main dining venues focus on quality ingredients and well-balanced menus, while those seeking a quieter, more refined experience will appreciate the calm ambience found throughout the ship.
Evenings on board are shaped by sophisticated entertainment, from live music and intimate performances to full-scale theatre productions. The Martini Bar and Crush is a popular social hub, known for its creative cocktails and ice-topped bar, while Cellar Masters provides a more relaxed space to enjoy wines and conversation as the ocean passes by.
Sailing to the Bahamas and Key West, the cruise introduces you to luminous waters, pale sands and a slower island rhythm. The Bahamas are defined by clarity and colour, where sea and sky seem to merge, while Key West adds character with its pastel streets, coastal charm and easy-going pace.
