Currently on Silhouette. Will have to book this. LOL

Can you share the date? I don't see this on the website.

Geographically interesting.

I think they're in the market for a proof reader :rolleyes:

[goldiemom]

I'll say they need a proof reader.

 

If you look deeper, St. Petersburg and Moscow are visited on a Northern European cruise. And speaking of Northern Europe, I did not know that some of the Greek islands were located in NORTHERN Europe.

Book 'em while you can folks, these itineraries are going fast!

 

From the Celebrity website this morning:

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

EUROPE - NORTHERN

 

Visit breathtaking destinations in the Mediterranean, including Barcelona (with an overnight stay), Sicily, Mykonos, Santorini, Athens, Gibraltar, Malaga, and more. Itâs a vacation that covers the Med in modern luxuryâfrom east to west.

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ALASKA

 

Featuring a double overnight stay in St. Petersburg, youâll enjoy VIP treatment and tickets to the third place match in St. Petersburg and tickets to the final match in Moscow.

"Sail Beyond Borders"

I will post a "St. Petersburg " sign on our beach in Alaska (just north on Homer...between Homer and Anchorage)...you can tender to my house and I will welcome you with open arms!

 

Locals call the nearby beach area "whiskey junction"...we can rename it St. Petersburg and welcome some tourist dollars!

The most revealing part of this discovery is that apparently no one at the top of Celebrity even cares. This sort of stuff has been going on for years.

I agree. UNBELIEVABLE!

Crystal Cruises recently went from Alaska to New York City via the Northwest Passage -- the first cruise ship to do so. Perhaps Celebrity is going to try it westbound, from Alaska, around Norway, into the Baltic, to St. Petersburg?:)

 

As to how they plan to move all the Mediterranean ports to Northern Europe, I have no clue….:confused::confused::confused:

Must be an M-class ship, since it also goes down the river to Moscow! [it would be much harder to portage an S-class ship -- or do the new Edge class have wheels for this purpose? :D]

What's in the pipe that they're smoking? :eek:

 

The problem with Celebrity's Alaskan itineraries is they don't do the the longer sailings any more. I had to go to another line to get a better itinerary. (and better food)

 

Maybe including St. Petersburg might help.

Yes! The Crystal Serenity made a stop over in my home town of Charlottetown during that trip.

Wows! They have fixed it. That is absolutely the fastest that Celebrity's IT department has ever worked. Proving that the website CAN be corrected if they want to.

Well, it was the "cheap and dirty" fix -- instead of correcting the descriptions, they just removed all three of them.

Some people did. Some people.

Actually in theory you could do it. Leave AK and head north. Do a Northeast Passage cruise over the top of Russia to the western edge of Russia. Then cruise down the cost of Norway and up into St. Petersburg. LOL!!

 

It might be an interesting cruise however. I have always wanted to do a combined Northwest and Northeast passage cruise. Never will however.
