Celebrity Eclipse heads to new waters

Thursday, 24 February 20113 min read

Celebrity Eclipse will introduce sailings to Reykjavik, Genoa and the Azores during its third summer based at Southampton in 2012.
Celebrity says it has also revamped itineraries and durations for the Eclipse, which is the most popular ship in the fleet with the UK and Irish market.
Vice president and managing director UK and Ireland Dominic Paul said: “Whilst we will continue to offer our hugely popular 14 night Mediterranean cruises we are also extending the reach of countries and cities that Celebrity Cruises offers.
“The beautiful Norwegian Fjords and Iceland cruises are new for 2012, and include ports of call such as the Faroe Islands. Plus, for the late summer itineraries, we’ve introduced the garden-like islands of the Azores which should be a great selling point for agents.”
Meanwhile, agents making bookings before May 31 this year can offer clients free car parking at Southampton and savings on regional air fares.
Celebrity Eclipse’s 2012 summer sailings go on sale on March 10.
