Australia / New Zealand, Hawaii & Asia Now Open for Captains Club Members

Recommended Posts

Based on what you've written it's probably not what you want. The April 3 one isn't one of the AU/NZ ones. It goes to Honolulu, although via NZ.

 

Called Celebrity just now and found out they have totally revamped their "regional" schedule for the Solstice Down Under. No longer any Sydney/Auckland cruises after the January 27, 2015 sailing or Auckland/Sydney after the February 8, 2015 sailing. Went ahead and booked the January 27 sailing from Sydney to Auckland. Will be hotter in OZ and NZ than what I'd hoped to have, but I guess that will be a nice change from the miserable weather in the US.

Sam -

 

What sorts of itinerary changes for the Solstice does Celebrity plan to make in the future? Given the distances involved, it would seem really difficult to deviate much from what they are already offering.

Called Celebrity just now and found out they have totally revamped their "regional" schedule for the Solstice Down Under. No longer any Sydney/Auckland cruises after the January 27, 2015 sailing or Auckland/Sydney after the February 8, 2015 sailing. Went ahead and booked the January 27 sailing from Sydney to Auckland. Will be hotter in OZ and NZ than what I'd hoped to have, but I guess that will be a nice change from the miserable weather in the US.

 

Am I guessing correctly that the Sydney-Auckland starts on January 27 2015. Does it still have the overnight in Sydney?

Since I was only interested in a Sydney/Auckland (or reverse), I don't really know. I had thought that there would be those sailings in early April, as there have been previously - now April is when the Solstice starts back from Sydney to Hawaii via Bora Bora, as described above.

 

It's irritating that we can only get itineraries by calling Celebrity during this Captains Club preview, but that's the way it is I guess.

According to our booking confirmation there's no overnight in Sydney. Leave on the 27th with next day at sea. I think the lengthy post above spells it out.

I am not a Captain's club member (I am looking to book my first X cruise) and it seems as though I have been waiting forever for the Asian sailings :( If anyone finds out info regarding Asian sailings in November 2014 and February 2015, please feel free to post. It would really help me out! :)

here's what I learned from a long phone call, these may not be the full itineraries as I was taking notes. Do not ask any question, what you see is all that I got.

 

Solstice will be doing transpacific to and from with Australia in between like it has for the current season of 2013/2014

 

Millenium will be doing Hong Kong to Tokyo trips with transpacifics from YVR (Vancouver) to Tokyo, back in Alaska for 2015.

 

Century is doing new itins, but many similar to the Mille did but from San Fran to Sydney for 23 day trip with stops in Tahiti and Hawaii Sept 16-Oct 10, 2014. Then roundtrips from SYD, then Jan 2015 it does roundtrips from Singapore to Viet Nam, Phillipines, etc then goes up to Tokyo for a couple of roundtrips. What is interesting about this is it ends up in Tokyo around May 1, 2015 and I doubt it is coming back to Alaska then, as it would have by that time with a transpacific. ...open for a future decision.

 

 

abbreviations:

SEAS means sea days in between the stops

and a number with an S means sea days, i.e. 2S = 2 sea days

Thanks for this. The Jan 11 sailing is exactly what we were looking for, but it's too early. DH can't go anywhere during tax season :(

I wonder if they are using Century, whether it will be able to go upriver to the cities of Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh and Shanghai just like the Azamara ships. That was a major highlight of our SE Asian cruise with the Azamara Quest.

Celebrity have now posted itineraries online now, so everybody can have a proper look now

 

It's on the .com website under celebrity world tour

 

They are also now on the .co.uk site - so much for Captain's Club members getting advance notice! Nothing received by email in this house.:(

No I didn't receive any advance notice either, don't know why I bother signing up for email updates.

 

Just looked and not a great choice of itineraries that have been released, the 2 Asia cruise in April aboard century are uninspiring.

 

I can't choice between the 17 night transpacific from Sydney or the Panama Canal
