Celebrity Cruises plans a great trip
Celebrity Cruises will offer a 110-night sailing on Celebrity Solstice for the first time. Dubbed the “Grand Voyage,” the cruise will span 55 destinations in 15 countries, from Canada to Hong Kong.
Celebrity's sister brand, Royal Caribbean, just completed a nine-month world cruise.
“Our guests' love of back-to-back travel inspired the 110-night Grand Voyage, which traverses 55 destinations in 15 countries with no repeat ports to deliver an unparalleled elevated journey,” said Celebrity President Laura Hodges Bethge.
The cruise line also promised better departures from several European cities.
“Guests can delight in the culture and cuisine of the Italian Riviera, Greek Islands, France, Spain and Portugal on Celebrity Equinox, which joins Celebrity Xcel and Celebrity Ascent in the Mediterranean with sailings from Barcelona, Lisbon and Rome,” said.
“Those looking to experience the ancient wonders and sunny skies of the Adriatic can take advantage of new sailings from Athens to Ravenna on Celebrity Eclipse, seven-night sailings from Athens on Celebrity Infinity and 10- to 11-night sailings to Rome and Ravenna on Celebrity. Constellation.”
