Third new ship for Celebrity Cruises
The third in a series of new ships has been ordered by Celebrity Cruises at a cost of $245,000 per berth.
The un-named vessel will be the latest in the line’s Solstice Class of vessels and is due to enter service in summer 2010.
The first of the family of 118,000-ton ships – Celebrity Solstice – is expected to be delivered in autumn 2008, followed by the second – Celebrity Equinox – in summer 2009.
Each of the ships will have a capcity for 2,850 passengers offering larger standard cabins and a higher percentage of rooms with balconies, according to the line.
The ships are to be built at German yard Meyer Werft.
Celebrity chairman and CEo Richard Fain said: “Celebrity’s Solstice class is more than a series of new ships; it’s a new class introducing a new programme that will further differentiate and elevate the Celebrity brand.”
