Spot light on Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity is one of my favorite cruise lines. We sailed on the Constellation last November and loved the ship.

Here is a little synopsis on Celebrity:

Consistently recognized with five- and six-star rankings as the highest-rated premium cruise line, Celebrity Cruises is committed to innovative design, impeccable service, and unparalleled spa and dining offerings.
Since its inception in 1989, Celebrity has held true to its original commitment of taking the very best aspects of classic, elegant cruising and updating them to reflect current lifestyles.
What sets Celebrity apart from other vacation choices today is the cruise line's dedication to providing guests with a cruise experience that exceeds expectations.

2010 Europe Season
Celebrity Cruises in 2010 will base all three Solstice-class ships in Europe--the 2,850-guest Celebrity Solstice, which sets sail for the first time in November; the Celebrity Equinox, launching later this year; and the Celebrity Eclipse, setting sail in 2010 as Celebrity's first primarily U.K.-sourced vessel. The trip will be joined by the 2,039-guest Celebrity Constellation.
Celebrity Constellation will sail 12-night "Scandinavia and Russia" and 7-night Mediterranean sailings. Celebrity Eclipse will offer a varied lineup of new 11-night and longer cruises to the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, and the Canary Islands. Celebrity Equinox will sail 12-night voyages throughout the Mediterranean, and the Celebrity Solstice will offer 10- and 11-night Eastern Mediterranean as well as 13-night Holy Land cruises. Pre-cruise escorted land tours of three to five nights are available with each of these cruises.
The four-ship program includes 76 trans-Atlantic and Europe sailings visiting 22 countries and calling at 65 different ports. Four ports are new to Celebrity: Alicante, Spain; Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy; La Spezia, Italy; and Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. Celebrity Constellation's seven-night Mediterranean sailings will call on Genoa, Livorno, Civitavecchia, and Naples, Italy; and Villefranche, France. Guests can extend this vacation with pre-cruise escorted land tours, including a four-night Madrid and Barcelona tour or a three-night Paris and Amsterdam tour.
Celebrity Eclipse will offer 13 open-jaw, 12-night sailings between Barcelona and Venice from from May into October 2010, with an overnight stay in Venice included. These cruises visit Athens and Santorini, Greece; Florence, Naples, Rome and Venice, Italy; either Dubrovnik or Split in Croatia; and either Villefrance or Toulon in France.
Celebrity Solstice's 10- and 11-night Mediterranean voyages from Civitavecchia are similar to those offered in 2009. The 10-night voyages in 2010 will feature a call to Rhodes, Greece, and the 11-night cruises will include an overnight in Istanbul. Solstice's five 13-night Holy Land sailings, sailing roundtrip out of Rome from late August through mid-October, will include overnight stays in Alexandria, Egypt, and calls throughout Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Israel.

Open Seating Dining
Celebrity Cruises offers passengers the option of open seating in the main dining rooms of its ships. The offering will be in addition to -- not a replacement for -- traditional assigned early and late seating on the line's vessels. Passengers can choose which type of seating they want -- open or traditional -- at the time they book their cruise.
