Celebrity Cruises will offer new and longer European voyages onboard the new Celebrity Apex when she launches in 2020. Passengers onboard the Edge Class ship will visit Greece, Turkey, Italy, Portugal, Spain and more when she launches next year.
Among the new itineraries are three 10- and 11-night Eastern Mediterranean sailings and an 11-night Western Mediterranean cruise. The two 11-night ‘Greece, Malta and Turkey’ voyages will depart from Rome, Italy and stop in Istanbul and Kusadasi, Turkey; Santorini, Mykonos and Athens in Greece; Valletta, Malta; and Barcelona, Spain. The 10-night cruise will take passengers to Barcelona; Crete, Santorini, Mykonos and Athens in Greece; Kusadasi; and Naples and Rome, Italy.
Guests on the 11-night ‘Spain, France and Italian Riviera’ expedition will sail roundtrip from Barcelona, calling in Provence and Nice, France; Monte Carlo, Monaco; Santa Margherita, Rome and Naples in Italy; and Palma De Mallorca and Valencia in Spain.
“Like her industry-changing sister ship Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex will feature an innovative outward-facing design and transformational accommodations that invite guests to take in the breath-taking world around them,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO of Celebrity Cruises. “Now, with these four new and longer Mediterranean sailings, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the peak European experience in true Celebrity style.”
Following her debut from Southampton, UK in April 2020, Celebrity Apex will also offer a mini season of five European sailings to the Norwegian Fjords and the northern coasts of Spain and Portugal. Travellers will also be able to choose a 10-night ‘Capital Cities’ cruise to visit Amsterdam, Netherlands; Copenhagen, Denmark; Oslo, Norway; and Paris, France.
