Can anyone direct me to the post about this cruise or provide more details?

 

When I first glanced at the 2015 itineraries I didn't spot this cruise, and it's one I've been dreaming of, especially as it fits into our plans for a stay in Yorkshire UK the following week!

Europe 2015 sailings open March 10 for Captain's Club, March 17 for general public. Not sure if Copenhagen is a sail-out option. Pretty sure it's usually Harwich, UK

 

There's a Silhouette 12 night sailing May 28 Stockholm-Amsterdam, overnights in Stockholm, St Petersburg and Copenhagen, only one sea day. Am looking at this itinerary, looks really good:)

I'm even more baffled now, as I've just phoned one of the TA's which is advertising the pre registration of 2015 europe cruises, and they are adamant that the first cruise is 30th May on Eclipse, and she said she'd just come out of a meeting about that very thing just before I rang !

 

I guess we can only wait and see what is actually advertised by Celebrity themselves, but I, for one, will be disappointed if there is no early May Fjords cruise :-(

Would love to see the 2015 TA's schedules when they become available too. Noticed the TA's are being excluded from quite a few promotions.

 

All the transatlantic trips are up on one of the UK sites. If you let me have a ship I'll look it up for you.

 

However the eclipse will do new York again sailing from Southampton on 1st November. Same ports as this year but only one day in NY and an additional stop in Boston

 

All the dates appear to be about a week earlier then this November

=================

 

CELEBRITY CRUISES WORLD TOUR 2015-16 REVEALS NEXT LINEUP: SOUTH AMERICA AND PANAMA CANAL

MIAMI– March 6, 2014 – Celebrity Cruises today unveiled its exhilarating set of South America and Panama Canal itineraries for 2015-16, with 34 different destinations in 15 countries to choose from. New for this season is the unique opportunity for guests to spend two nights in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the country’s most famous and vibrant annual event - Carnival.

 

Captain’s Club loyalty members will have exclusive 'Priority Access' for booking their South America and Panama Canal trips beginning today, five days before the official on-sale date Tuesday, March 11.

 

Vacationers can experience the sights and sounds of Brazil’s internationally renowned Carnival festivities for three full days and two nights in Rio de Janeiro with Celebrity’s South America & Rio Carnival itinerary beginning Jan. 31, 2016.

Roundtrip from Buenos Aires, the itinerary features breathtaking passages through Schollart Channel and Dalhan Bay, Paradise Bay and the Gerlache Strait; Elephant Island, Antarctica; and the Falkland Islands.

 

Celebrity’s 2015-16 sailings will introduce the newly announced “Suite Class” experience, beginning April 2015, with new luxurious offerings including:

I'm interested in a Westbound TA on the Equinox from Barcelona. I think it should be on October 27, 2015 based on the schedule I've seen so far. If you get any of this information again, please post it.

 

Thanks,

Carolyn
