Travelers can already virtually explore their ship with “Wonderverse” before boarding. Experience a realistic digital replica of the fleet’s newest ship, Celebrity Beyond, explore each deck, watch entertaining shows and visit some of Celebrity Cruises’ destinations – from Europe to Asia, Alaska and the Caribbean.
How Wonderverse works:
As soon as visitors are under www.celebritycruises.com/wonderverse registered, they move from room to room. The virtual journey begins on the Magic Carpet. The user then proceeds to the resort deck where they are personally greeted by Captain Kate McCue, who is available to assist with answering questions. From there, he can continue to explore the ship or even experience virtual travel destinations such as Santorini, Alaska or Tokyo.
Guests can also meet and chat with Celebrity Beyond’s Captain Kate McCue, Celebrity Cruises President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, and the ship’s designers as digital avatars. Wonderverse travelers also have the option to create their own personalized avatar.
What is the metaverse?
The Metaverse is considered the next evolution of the Internet and is a key differentiator between the current Web 2.0 and the future Web 3.0. It transforms the Internet from a socially oriented two-dimensional information source into a three-dimensional experience where users can not only consume information, but also actively immerse themselves in and interact with a virtual world. The new celebrity “Wonderverse” was developed in collaboration with designers from the virtual event platform Surreal Events.
