Five Celebrity Cruises ships – including the yet-to-be-launched Celebrity Edge – are to visit 92 ports in 27 countries across Europe in 2019.
Collectively, the ships will make overnight calls in 16 European cities and also make Celebrity’s maiden calls at Nauplion, Greece; Rijeka, Croatia; and Santa Margherita, Italy.
“From our expansive new itineraries, including three exciting new ports of call and overnights in 16 cities across the region, to our specially curated shore excursions, there’s a reason we’re continually recognised as the ‘Best Cruise Line In Europe [by the Travel Weekly Readers’ Choice Awards]’,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO, Celebrity Cruises.
Celebrity Edge, which will be delivered by STX France in autumn 2018, will embark on 7- to 11-night Mediterranean cruises from cities like Barcelona, Spain and Rome, Italy. The itineraries will feature two of the new ports of call – Nauplion and Santa Margherita.
Returning for the first time since 2014, Celebrity Infinity will offer alternating seven-night sailings from the Italian ports of Venice and Rome, which can be booked back-to-back for a 14-night tour of the Mediterranean. The ship will also offer 12-night itineraries to countries like Italy, Malta, Greece and Croatia.
Sailing 9- and 10-night cruises from Venice, Rome and the Spanish port of Barcelona, Celebrity Constellation will cruise along the Dalmatian Coast, French Riviera, and visit Italy, Spain, and the Greek Isles. Rijeka in Croatia will be a new port of call. Guests can book back-to-back itineraries for a longer journey.
Meanwhile, Celebrity Reflection will homeport in both Dublin, Ireland and Amsterdam, the Netherlands, offering 8- to 12-night sailings across northern Europe. Travelers will visit ports such as Reykjavik, Iceland; Lerwick, Scotland; Belfast, Northern Ireland; the Norwegian Fjords; St. Petersburg, Russia; and many more.
Celebrity Silhouette will return to Southampton, UK to sail various three- to 14-night cruises to Scandinavia, Russia, the Norwegian Fjords, Ireland and Iceland. Guests will enjoy overnight stays in St. Petersburg, Russia.
