Siba x Celebrity Cruises
When culinary excellence meets the art of travel, something extraordinary happens.
Where Curated Taste Meets Modern Luxury
When South Africa’s beloved chef, businesswoman and global food personality Siba Mtongana stepped aboard Celebrity Ascent, the world took notice. From Barcelona to Porofino, her journey with Cruises International and Celebrity Cruises brought to life a story of modern luxury, flavour, and discovery — and South Africans couldn’t get enough.
This is the story of Siba Mtongana’s voyage aboard Celebrity Ascent, a Mediterranean journey that stirred the imagination of thousands. Every frame captured a new kind of luxury: one defined by connection, culture, and cuisine. Her journey through Barcelona, Nice, Portofino, Florence, Rome and Naples revealed the heart of Celebrity Cruises: a brand built on fine craftsmanship, design-forward comfort, and food that moves you.
Through her lens, audiences discovered what modern luxury feels like when it’s experienced, not just advertised. Now, through an exclusive collaboration with Cruises International, that experience becomes an invitation for you to see the world the Siba way.
