Celebrity has just announced that it has acquired another ship for its Expeditions fleet, bringing the total to three small deluxe cruise ships. Originally sailing as the Renaissance Cruises' R7, and currently sailing for Pullmantur, the Spanish cruise and land tour operator that Royal Caribbean recently aquired, the ship is scheduled to join Celebrity's fleet in October 2007 sailing as the Celebrity Quest.
This 710-passenger ship will undergo a one month-long drydock to add 32 new suites to the ship, including their new category of suite- the Sunset Suites in the aft of the ship. In addition, Celebrity will add two specialty restaurants, new bedding and soft goods, and upgrade the ship to Celebity status by adding public areas that are popular on other Celebrity ships, including AquaSpa by Elemis, Cova Cafe, Michael's Club and Online@Celebrity.
The Celebrity Quest will offer unique 12- and 14-night Caribbean sailings from Miami to St. Barts, Guadeloupe, Dominica and Turks & Caicos in October and November 2007. In December 2007, the Celebrity Quest will reposition to Acapulco to operate 14-night sailings through the Panama Canal, alternating with embarkation in Acapulco and Miami.
This new addition to Celebrity will offer the cruise line an opportunity to compete with some of the premium cruise lines, such as Oceania, Regent and Crystal by offering some unique itineraries with butler service in every stateroom, expanded spa service and more concierge amenities. This ship will provide its guests with a premium product with a decidely adult atmosphere.
Let me help you plan your new Celebrity Quest cruise. As always, I can help you plan a cruise vacation on any cruise line.
Looking forward to sending you away very soon!
