Amritraj still plays tennis actively, and owns a health and racquet club in Long Island, NY.
Celebrity's expanded enrichment lecture program is only one component of the line's recent series of brand enhancements, including such amenities as frosty towels, sorbet and fashion shows poolside; a Sushi Cafi and made-to- order pasta and pizza bar; sunset yoga and Pilates classes, and an entirely new category of plush accommodations, "ConciergeClass."
The industry's highest-rated premium cruise line with a taste of luxury, Celebrity Cruises' nine-ship fleet is the youngest of any major line.
