This includes the 14-night Celebrity Cruise voyage, with an invitation to participate in the cocktail reception with the rest of the group. This option is perfect for the spousal units who tolerate your LOTR fandom, but do not share it. This will allow for the family and significant others to travel together, but don’t worry; there will be more than enough entertainment options on the ship and ashore to keep them happy. They will have the option to purchase individual LOTR Day tours that may be of interest, as long as it is done in advance. (These tours are outlined at the bottom of this page.) Your entire Journey will be commemorated in an Exclusive ‘Passport to Middle earth’.
