Celebrity debuts Silhouette in Europe

Friday, 12 Apr, 2010 0

Celebrity Cruises will offer its Captain’s Club members first bookings on its new Celebrity Silhouette ship, which will spend next summer in Europe.

Celebrity Silhouette sets sail for the first time in July 2011 when she will take her maiden voyage from Hamburg to Rome. A special nine-night Mediterranean voyage will folllow. Then, the new ship will offer a series of 12- and 13-night Holy Land sailings roundtrip out of Rome.

The ship’s three Solstice class sister ships will also spend summer 2011 in Europe.

The 2011 Europe season will include seven night Med voyages on Constellation, which Celebrity plans to “Solstice-ise” in response to passenger feedback. The season goes on sale today (April 9).

Captains Club passengers will also get first pickings on Silhouette’s winter 2011/12 Caribbean seven-night sailings out of Bayonne, New Jersey. Celebrity Cruises opened its summer Bermuda voyages – seven-night roundtrip sailings from Bayonne on Celebrity Summit – on March 10.

Dan Hanrahan, president and CEO at Celebrity Cruises, said: “We believe our summer destination line-up perfectly complements our commitment to designing cruise vacations around our guests’ interests – a commitment that is central to our brand platform, ‘Designed for you.’

“Our guests told us what they wanted in ship design, cuisine, accommodations and innovations, and we designed our Solstice-class ships around those desires. Our guests said that they want to experience that same style on our other ships, and we committed to invest $200 million to “Solsticize,” or refit, our Millennium-class ships to reflect some of the Solstice-class venues and design attributes. Now, we have designed a dynamic new cruise calendar valued by discerning cruisers and reflective of the same level of service and sophistication we offer onboard.”
