| CELEBRITY CRUISES SWAPS SHIPS FOR SOUTH AMERICA - 2006 |
|
Celebrity Cruises will “swap ships” for its 2006 sailings in South America to avoid disruption of guests’ vacations and keep both Millenium and Infinity on track for scheduled drydock periods. Celebrity’s Millennium will replace sister ship Infinity in South America, while Infinity will sail in the Caribbean. “Drydock availability for Infinity changed following completion of our 2006 deployment plans, so to avoid disrupting any of our guests’ vacation plans, we chose to swap ships,” said Celebrity’s President Dan Hanrahan. “Millennium is scheduled to enter drydock this November, just before returning from Europe to the Caribbean, leaving the ship perfectly positioned to offer our guests a full, uninterrupted season of cruising in South America.”
