Celebrity Returns to Bermuda!

“Celebrity has a long and positive history with the beautiful island of Bermuda, and we’re thrilled to respond to demand that we return, from our longtime guests and travel agent partners alike,” said Celebrity’s President & CEO Dan Hanrahan.

On April 17, 2010, Celebrity Summit will reposition from San Juan to Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey, to present a series of 7-night roundtrip Bermuda itineraries. The ship will dock at King’s Wharf, also known as the Royal Naval Dockyard.
“Travelers and travel agents have spoken, and they say they want Bermuda and Celebrity reunited," said Bermuda Premier Dr. Ewart F. Brown, also Minister of Tourism and Transport. "I am pleased to say that we have delivered. Guests on the Bermuda-bound Celebrity Summit are in for a spectacular vacation experience both on land and at sea come April 2010.”

In July 2010, Celebrity Summit’s new Bermuda sailings will alternate with 7-night Canada/New England cruises. Full deployment details for both destinations will be announced when bookings open in 2009.
Celebrity Cruises’ most recent season in Bermuda ended in October 2006, with the line’s former Celebrity Zenith.

This is a major plus for the NY/NJ market. The Summit (sister ship to the Millenium, Constellation and Infinity) will bring the inventory and the balconies that are so in demand for Bermuda sailings! I'm excited to hear the great news. Bermuda and Celebrity have always been a great team.
