Change of plan for Celebrity Century
Celebrity Cruises will redeploy Celebrity Century to the Mediterranean next summer.
The new sailings replace the previously announced series of four and five-night cruises from Miami between May and October 2010.
“Celebrity Century’s four and five-night Caribbean cruises are very popular, but discussions with our travel partners and guests in North America and Europe indicated even stronger demand for the ship in Europe next summer,†said Celebrity Cruises president Dan Hanrahan.
Celebrity Century will continue to sail four and five-night Caribbean cruises from November 2009 until early May 2010.
As a prelude to its European season, the ship will depart Miami on 20 May 2010, on a 14-night transatlantic cruise calling at Ponta Delgada (Azores), Lisbon, Seville, and Malaga, before porting in Barcelona.
Arriving on 3 June 2010 Celebrity Century will begin a series of 12-night, roundtrip Mediterranean cruises.
Ports of call on the new sailings include Cannes, Nice, Provence, Sicily Rome, Venice, Ephesus, Athens and Dubrovnik.
Guests with confirmed bookings on the cancelled Caribbean sailings are being contacted with the option to switch to a seven-night sailing on Celebrity Solstice, subject to availability, in a similar category at the same price paid.
