Celebrity Solstice Heads to Alaska & other new X Deployment News.

I realize this was announced on Wednesday and it's Friday already.  I apologize for not being on the ball posting this as I know many of us have been waiting on Celebrities 2013 Deployment News and especially wondering if the Solstice was going to be sailing Alaska next summer as after all, she already was spending our winter Down Under..

I so adored sailing on this ship in Europe last year that the Solstice Class is my new personal favorite among mainstream big ship Cruise experiences.  Especially for adults but there is plenty for the family as well.  Kids I spoke with on board were really enjoy the ship and the youth programs.

The British Isles Sailings on the Infinity will also be a treat and grabbed up fast.

Here is the news straight from *Cruise Industry News*....  Bookings will open in early March.  I will post the dates for each.  I also have lists going as on the Royal Princess for those that want to book the early bird rates or want particular staterooms and suites.  We will have group space on these for extra onboard credit so just ask!

Please call or send me your info so we can plan ahead.

Celebrity Cruises today shared a sneak preview of its itinerary plans for the summer of 2013. Speaking to an audience of travel partners and press in London, Celebrity’s President & CEO Dan Hanrahan revealed that, for the first time, joining Celebrity Eclipse in offering modern luxury vacation experiences from the UK will be the newly ‘Solsticized’ Celebrity Infinity. “Like the reaction to every stunning Solstice Class ship, the response to Celebrity Eclipse from our guests and travel partners has been extremely rewarding, ever since it debuted in Southampton in 2010,” said Celebrity’s President & CEO Dan Hanrahan. “Our decision to expand our European vacation options from the UK on our newly Solsticized Celebrity Infinity is in direct response to increased demand for more of the modern luxury holidays that only Celebrity can provide, as validated by the expanding host of honors our brand continues to receive.” Celebrity Eclipse  will continue to offer sailings from Southampton in the spring and summer of 2013, while Celebrity Infinity – which emerged in December 2011 from Celebrity’s ambitious, four-ship, $140-million Solsticizing investment – will present enticing new British Isles and Fjords sailings from Harwich, England.

Celebrity Solstice to ‘heat things up’ in Alaska Celebrity Solstice  will become the first of its class to offer vacations in Alaska in the summer of 2013, joining Celebrity Century and Celebrity Millennium in pairing Celebrity’s chic style and design, signature cuisine, exciting activities and extraordinary service with the region’s breathtaking, inspiring scenery. “Celebrity Solstice is the ideal platform for a genuine modern luxury vacation in the gorgeous state of Alaska,” said Hanrahan. “The ship’s sheer beauty will perfectly complement the region’s incredible scenery. And with 85 percent veranda accommodations, our guests will have that many more opportunities to take in the endlessly appealing views, combined with our unparalleled onboard experience and service provided by the best group of hospitality professionals in the world.” Rounding out Celebrity’s 2013 summer season Celebrity Summit, which just this month became the third in Celebrity’s Millennium Class fleet to complete the brand’s noted Solsticizing initiative – incorporating a host of guest-favorite venues and experiences from the Solstice Class onto the Millennium Class – will once again offer Celebrity’s popular Bermuda vacation experiences from the Northeast. The intimate, 96-guest Celebrity Xpedition will continue to offer the once-in-a-lifetime vacation experiences the brand has offered year-round since 2004 in the enchanting Galapagos Islands.
