Celebrity in the game with live airing of the Olympics

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 fleet to be among them. From the eagerly anticipated Opening Ceremony July 27 to the celebratory Closing Ceremony Aug. 12, Celebrity will broadcast “live”via satellite the swimming, diving, gymnastics, rowing, cycling, athletics and basketball events, in addition to airing daily compilations of highlights from all 26 sports featured in the Games of the XXX Olympiad. On Celebrity ships sailing in North America, the events initially airing live also will be re-broadcast during more convenient times of day for guests to enjoy. Celebrity passengers will be able to view the Games within the comfort of their staterooms or in several hip bars and lounges on every Celebrity ship (with the exception of Celebrity Xpedition, which sails year-round in the Galapagos Islands).
