To mark one month until its return to UK shores, Celebrity Cruises has launched a scheme to offer 100 complimentary cruises to Blue Light Card holders.

The line is calling for those that work in the emergency services, NHS, social care sector or armed forces to enter to be in with the chance of winning of holiday on Celebrity Silhouette’s first sailing out of Southampton on 3 July as it travels on a six-night itinerary around the British Isles.

Celebrity said the Giving Back To Heroes concept had been “designed as a thank you for their tireless work throughout the pandemic and beyond”.

Entrants will need to share their stories in a bid to win a cruise as well as an opportunity to feature on Celebrity Cruises’ social channels. Winners will be announced when the competition closes on 10 June 2021 and all nominees must be fully vaccinated by 19 June 2021.

Celebrity Cruises EMEA vice-president and managing director Jo Rzymowska said: “The last year has been challenging for all, but none more so than our incredible emergency workers who have donned their hero capes on a daily basis, inspiring us through this unprecedented time.

“As life slowly turns towards a new normal and we begin to embrace a return to the seas, we want to take a moment to celebrate and honour all these astonishing people, by offering some escapism and well-deserved ‘me time’ on board our beautiful ship from Southampton this summer.”
