The world?s newest cruise ship that departed the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, on Sunday is set to begin visits to St. Kitts in November.
In a milestone event known as ?The conveyance,? the 2,850-guest Celebrity Solstice made its way down the River Eems, as tens of thousands of area residents lining the river banks cheered and photographed the historic event.
?This is a very momentous occasion for Celebrity Cruises,? the brand?s President and CEO, Dan Hanrahan, said.
?Celebrity Solstice is the perfect manifestation of what the Celebrity brand is all about: extraordinary service, spectacular dining and fabulous style and design.
?As the first in a series of five Solstice-class ships, it?s a vivid example of the growth and momentum of the Celebrity brand and our commitment to meet our guests? and travel agent partners? demands for more vacation options with Celebrity.?
Celebrity Solstice will be berthed in Eemshaven, Netherlands, from 29 Sept., to 24 Oct., with two separate sea trials planned during that period, in addition to crew arrivals, training, provisioning and finishing work on-board.
The ship will depart Eemshaven on 24 Oct., on a transatlantic voyage, with arrival in Fort Lauderdale planned for early November, followed by a series of promotional cruises for invited travel agents, press and other dignitaries.
The ship will be named in formal ceremonies on 14 Nov., and will begin its maiden season 23 Nov., with a series of alternating seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruises round trip from Fort Lauderdale, calling on San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Kitts and Tortola during this Fall and Winter.
Celebrity?s current fleet will be joined by Celebrity Equinox in 2009, Celebrity Eclipse in 2010, a fourth Solstice-class ship in 2011 and a fifth in 2012.
