Celebrity Cruises pulls out of Australia
Celebrity Cruises has announced plans to discontinue its Australia and New Zealand cruises previously scheduled for late-2009 and 2010 on Celebrity Millennium.
At the same time, the company has announced new itineraries for Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Mercury, including Baltimore, Maryland, and Charleston, South Carolina, along with the brand’s popular Caribbean cruises from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
“Australia and New Zealand are charming and beautiful destinations, and we’re confident we’ll return again as our brand and fleet grows,†said Celebrity’s President & CEO Dan Hanrahan.
“Currently, though, our travel agent partners and guests have repeatedly said they want more options to sail with Celebrity from the Eastern seaboard, where our brand was founded, and still has a very large and loyal base of cruisers.” “So, we’re pleased to present some very attractive new cruise vacations from that region.â€
Guests with reservations on the sailings previously scheduled for Celebrity Mercury will be contacted and re-accommodated on the same sailing dates on Celebrity Millennium, at the rates paid.
