That is quite different than past years, but can’t wait to see the corresponding price tags!

I am onboard for the cruises that are not interesting to me, but I also have a certificate that I may or may not use...TBD!

I assume that's a typo for the sailing window for Caribbean, Bermuda, etc.?  Late spring and summer of 2025 hasn't been released yet and Bermuda is a summer season usually plus there is usually the Reflection or another S class ship in the Caribbean pretty much year round..

Thank you.  Now I wonder if they won’t be sailing Japan in July 2025 as the announcement says starting in Fall 2025 and with kids that’s the only month we can go.

I take it the ships won't be confirmed until the release date?

I'm sure Celebrity has already decided what's going where. They just won't announce it until the booking window opens.

I find it interesting that South America is back as a destination. Thought when they pulled Equinox and sent her to PC that spelled the end of South America cruises. Glad to see I was wrong! I guess with another Edge Series ship coming online, they have a M/S Class to spare.

It looks like someone just posted an update to the deployment schedule…doesn’t look like South America is on the updated list unfortunately….

If you are talking about Cruise till you drop's posting, South America is not listed in the post, but it is listed in the accompanying link which I presume was the source of information.

Thanks..I must of missed it…glad to see …my friends were booked on the Equinox for the Chilean Fjords cruise and we were about to book it to join them when Celebrity cancelled it…

In Summer 2025 Apex will sail again from Southampton and Eclipse will sail from Amsterdam instead of Silhouette. She will also offer some shorter cruises.

Amsterdam port schedule 2025.

In my opinion, this will be X’s Summer 2025 deployment, based on current port bookings. As always, subject to change until confirmation by Celebrity, but helps to give some sort of idea. There are duplicate bookings in some port, so there is potential for Eclipse to swap with Equinox for example.

 

Ascent - Western Mediterranean (Barcelona, Rome, Athens)

Beyond - Caribbean (Fort Lauderdale)

Apex - Southampton, UK

Edge - Alaska

 

Silhouette - Caribbean (Fort Lauderdale)

Reflection - Short Caribbean (Fort Lauderdale)

Equinox - Mediterranean (Barcelona, Rome, Athens)

Solstice - Alaska 

Eclipse - Northern Europe (Amsterdam)

 

Infinity - Eastern Mediterranean (Athens)

Millennium - Asia

Constellation - Mediterranean (Ravenna / Rome)

Summit - Alaska

So which ship would be making Bermuda and later the Canada and New England?

Was wondering the same. @Jumping Cruiser, you're seeing 3 ships in the Caribbean throughout the summer? I have to imagine one of them will make their way to NJ.

Indeed you forgot Canada/New England and Bermuda. Imho there’s no indicator for short Caribbean, as Celebrity never did it during summer, but cruise lines like Carnival, NCL, RCI do.

I see Reflection doing 7 night Caribbean during summer and SILHOUETTE doing Bermuda and Canada/New England, taking over the 2024 deployment of Eclipse which however will be based in Amsterdam instead of Silhouette 2024.

Furthermore, Asia is just scheduled for fall 2025-spring 2026. I see Millennium doing Alaska as well.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing.

 

We are looking for Ireland / Iceland for 2026. According to the schedule looks like it should release w/o 11/13/2023. Fingers crossed.

For summer 2025, not 2026. This should be published end of 2024. The new deployment covers the summer and winter season 2025 up to spring 2026, as every year. Please read carefully.

Celebrity has now started doing short Caribbean and has the Reflection doing 3 and 4 night cruises all summer in 2024.  The Beyond is doing the more traditional Caribbean cruises in summer of 2024.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Beyond and Reflection did the same in summer of 2025.  It is a bit surprising that a third ship would be in the Caribbean but won't the fifth Edge Class ship be coming out in 2025 which would be adding one more ship to the mix.
