YEAR 2006
Summit heads for ther Far East
January 20, 2005 - Celebrity Cruises is to sail in the Far East and South Pacific in 2006, vividly illustrating its commitment to offering exotic travel experiences in faraway lands.
The 1,950-guest Summit, ranked first in service and second overall in Conde Nast Traveler's "Best Cruise Ships in the World" survey, will be deployed to Asia and the Pacific, offering cruises in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, and other destinations.
Says Celebrity president Jack Williams: "Our guests told us they want to experience Asia with Celebrity, and now they can, This is a natural evolution for Celebrity, coming on the heels of our launch of Celebrity Xpeditions in the Galapagos Islands, our tripling of capacity in Europe over the past two years, and our deployment of new hardware in South America.
While specific itineraries are still being developed, Celebrity envisions a series of round-trip and open-jaw cruises of varying lengths. The line expects bookings for its new Asia-Pacific product to open by April.
