Celebrity Cruises is giving away free luxury UK cruise holidays to workers in the emergency services, NHS, social care sector or armed forces this summer.
The cruise line has 100 free staycations on offer for Blue Light Card holders, as part of its new 'Giving Back to Heroes' scheme that's been created "as a thank you for their tireless work throughout the pandemic and beyond".
The sailings will be onboard Celebrity Silhouette - one of the new cruise ships launching in the UK - on her inaugural sailing from Southampton on July 3, on a six-night itinerary across the British Isles.
Then there's the ship itself of course with everything from a cocktail bar where drinks are created based on your astrological sign, a Lawn Club at sea, fine dining, and even a theatre with incredible shows and rock concerts.
Oh, and the free holidays include a stay in a luxurious balcony cabin so you can enjoy all of those picturesque ocean views.
There are 100 free holidays up for grabs, and to help choose who gets them, Celebrity is asking people to share their stories, with winners being announced later this month.
To enter - or nominate someone - you simply need to go to the Celebrity Cruises website and fill out the form (it's also where you'll find the full T&Cs). You'll need to do so by June 10, when the competition closes.
It's worth noting that anyone who wants to be on board the cruise will need to have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 (aka both doses of an approved jab) by June 19.
This is because Celebrity Cruises has a vaccination policy where all passengers need to be fully vaccinated in order to board its staycation sailings this summer.
Jo Rzymowska, Vice President & Managing Director, Celebrity Cruises EMEA, said: "The last year has been challenging for all, but none more so than our incredible emergency workers who have donned their hero capes on a daily basis, inspiring us through this unprecedented time.
"As life slowly turns towards a new normal and we begin to embrace a return to the seas, we want to take a moment to celebrate and honour all these astonishing people, by offering some escapism and well-deserved ‘me time’ onboard our beautiful ship from Southampton this summer."

Domestic cruises from England have been allowed to resume, with a number of cruise lines offering UK sailings such as Disney, P&O and Royal Caribbean. These are open to UK residents only, and in the majority of cases they do require passengers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 in order to be allowed to board.
The government has said that these UK sailings will be used as one of the factors to determine when international cruises can restart.
