[kruzgal]

Details have started appearing on the same website that posted early last year for for summer 2012. So far it is just dates, number of nights and general destination for Eclipse - not full itineraries.

 

So far...

12th May 14 night Mediterranean

 

26th May 14 night Scandinavia/Russia

 

7th July Iceland & Fjords 14 night

 

21st July 14 night Scandinavia / Russia

 

4th August Iceland & Fjords 14 night

 

1st September 14 night Med

 

15th September 14 night Med

 

29th September 14 night Canaries & Azores

 

There is a big gap in August - maybe a charter or just not loaded yet. Will keep you posted if any more information appears.

What about Solstice, Equinox and Silhouette for summer 2012? Any Holy land and Egypt cruises during July 2012?

[Adammara]

According to a UK forum, booking opens 10th March. Can't wait!

Thanks for posting this.

 

I would love to do Iceland and Fjords on Eclipse. But both sailings conflict with work schedule.

 

Looking forward to the other releases.

Celebrity Eclipse to visit Iceland, Norwegian Fjords and the Azores in 2012

 

Celebrity Eclipse is marking its third consecutive summer season based from Southampton with a host of exciting new destinations such as Reykjavik in Iceland, Genoa in Italy, and Ponta Delgada in the Azores. The much-anticipated 2012 return of the ship sees a revamp of the cruise itineraries and durations on offer in response to guest demand – including a series of eight and fourteen night cruises.

 

“Celebrity Eclipse is the most popular ship in the Celebrity Cruises fleet for UK and Irish holidaymakers, and we’ve further enhanced itineraries and destinations to keep guests coming back” explains Dominic Paul, Vice President & Managing Director, UK & Ireland. “Whilst we will continue to offer our hugely popular 14 night Mediterranean cruises we are also extending the reach of countries and cities that Celebrity Cruises offers. The beautiful Norwegian Fjords and Iceland cruises are new for 2012, and include ports of call such as the Faroe Islands. Plus, for the late summer itineraries, we’ve introduced the garden-like islands of the Azores which should be a great selling point for agents.”

 

Celebrity Cruises has finalised the 2012 itineraries of UK-based ship Celebrity Eclipse with enough time for agents to gear up to selling the popular ship before general sales open.

 

2012 summer cruises onboard Celebrity Eclipse departing Southampton, cruise only include:

· Eight-night Norwegian Fjords featuring Bergen, Flam, Geiranger and Oslo in Norway from £799 per person departing in May 2012

· Sailing in May 2012 and September 2012, a 14-night Mediterranean cruise featuring European highlights such as Nice (from Villefranche), Rome (from Civitavecchia and Florence (from Livorno), plus the first calling for Celebrity Eclipse at Porto in Portugal. Prices from £1,299 per person

· Overnight stays in St Petersburg and Copenhagen as part of a 14-night Scandinavia and Russia sailing also featuring Bruges (from Zeebrugge), Berlin (from Warnemunde), Stockholm and Helsinki. Prices from £1,549 per person for sailings throughout May, June, July and August 2012

· Brand new 14-night Iceland and Fjords cruise including an overnight in Reykjavik, as well as ports of call in the Faroe Islands and throughout Norway in July and August 2012 from £1,599 per person

· Autumn sunshine Canaries and Azores 14-night cruise calling at destinations such as Ponta Delgada in the Azores, as well as Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Lisbon in Portugal in September and October 2012.

 

Prices from £1,299 per person

Agents will also be able to take advantage of further ‘On Sale Now’ offers from Celebrity Cruises such as free car parking in Southampton for selected Celebrity Eclipse sailings booked before 31 May 2011, and great savings on regional air fares to meet the ship. Return regional flights from airports such as Aberdeen, Belfast, Dublin, Newcastle, and Leeds Bradford are available from £99 (€119) per person. Bookings for Balcony staterooms and above can also take advantage of onboard credit available up to $200 per sailing for the 14-night options.

 

Celebrity Eclipse’s 2012 summer sailings go on general sale on 10 March 2011, and fare and itinerary information will be available to agents on 24 February 2011.

 

 

Looking good for us!

Interesting... the site I was looking at says something different. And the release date above would be before X's tentative deployment date of March 14. :confused:

 

No matter, we'll be ready and waiting whenever they are available. :D

 

"These fantastic new cruises will go on sale on 10th May though pre-registration on these cruises is available with our agency from today".

[kruzgal]

Nothing else I'm afraid - and the website I saw it on has now removed them! (although they are being listed on other sites).

 

There is a cruise listed on other sites on 18th August Scandinavia and Russia.

 

We would also love to do the Iceland/Fjords cruise but I think it conflicts with A level results. We will probably have to look at other cruise lines:(

can you please tell me if the Transatlantic from USA to England for April 2012 is out.

[kruzgal]

Transatlic is not available to book until March 10th but details are out as follows:

 

 

1. Hotel Accommodation - room only 00:00 00:00

2. Miami 00:00 16:30

3. At Sea - Transatlantic 00:00 00:00

4. Ponta Delgada, Azores 07:00 15:00

7-8. At sea 00:00 00:00

5. Lisbon 09:00 16:00

6. Vigo 09:00 16:00

9. At sea 00:00 00:00

. Paris (from Le Havre) 07:00 21:00

10. Southampton 05:30 00:00

 

This departs from the UK on 20th April 2012 so I presume the cruise leaves the next day on the 21st. The days are a little confused as it says it is a 14 night trip (including one night in a miami hotel the night before departure) which suggests it is a 13 night trip.

Can you post the link of this forum, please? ;)

The Iceland/Norway itinerary (Jul 07, 2012) looks very good! :)

Do you think that the other Solstice-class ships (Solstice, Equniox, Silhouette) will be in Europe in 2012 as well?

And what about the newbuilding Celebrity Reflection?

Hi Celebrity Fan !

 

Celebrity is very hot on Europe these days, so the odds are good that most of the S-Class ships, and perhaps even all of them will be in Europe in Summer 2012. The wild card remains, as World political events are likely to play a factor in deployments.

[shipfriend_max]

Thanks a lot.

I wouldn't like this if Celebrity Solstice sails in the Caribbean in summer! ;)

 

So it's nearly possible that all Celebrity Solstice ships are sailing in Europe in 2012.

Than there will be a amximum range of Mediterranean itineraries - with all 4 Solstice class ships (maybe 5 S-Class ships - if Reflection is in Europe)! :)

None of the above are particulary child-friendly itineraries for the UK school holidays - I wonder if this is a deliberate ploy by X UK to keep the children on RCI? I hope so!!!;)

2012 summer cruises onboard Celebrity Eclipse departing Southampton, cruise only include:

· Eight-night Norwegian Fjords featuring Bergen, Flam, Geiranger and Oslo in Norway from £799 per person departing in May 2012

· Sailing in May 2012 and September 2012, a 14-night Mediterranean cruise featuring European highlights such as Nice (from Villefranche), Rome (from Civitavecchia and Florence (from Livorno), plus the first calling for Celebrity Eclipse at Porto in Portugal. Prices from £1,299 per person

 

 

ummmm sadly not. I booked this today, then found out via a forum here that the ship no longer calls at Porto...... weird tho as normally it is only 1 day at sea from Vigo!!! Looks like more see days to get more revenue.
