“It’s such an exciting opportunity to partner with Celebrity Cruises and shoot a very special episode of the show on its new Celebrity Beyond ship,” said Andy Cohen, host and executive producer of WWHL. “I mean, I cannot think of a more iconic way to celebrate and bring to life the spirit of our very own, Bravo’s Below Deck – than by channeling my inner Captain at sea!” 

“The partnership opportunity with NBCUniversal and Bravo was meant to be from the start. We both wanted to do something that hadn’t been done on a cruise ship before, so using our newest ship, Celebrity Beyond, as the backdrop, filming Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on our ship was the perfect opportunity,” said Michael Scheiner, chief marketing officer for Celebrity Cruises. “Leveraging the fanfare of the show along with our own content to use in advertising across NBCUniversal really gives us a great opportunity to market our brand.”
