Celebrity Apex finally leaves Chantiers de l'Atlantique

Michèle Valandina | Aug 24, 2020

Built in Saint-Nazaire and handed over to Celebrity Cruises in March, Celebrity Apex finally left Chantiers de l'Atlantique Sunday morning.

The ship had remained at the yard's Penhoet wharf due to the coronavirus pandemic, which affected more than 200 crew members. 

At anchor off the French coast

However, Celebrity Apex hasn't totally left Saint-Nazaire as it will remain at anchor off the coast for two or three weeks before sailing to Florida.

YES!! That is great news that Apex is coming to Florida. I have been waiting to hear if they would sail her over for the winter or not. I wish X would have made an announcement but ill take this one 🙂

No one can really accurately answer that right now unfortunately.

Supposedly, there are suppose to be two, 2 day cruises before the regular 7 day Caribbean cruises begin.  They have one 2 day sailing listed for November 5th.  I am guessing, they will have another, invitation only, two day sailing on November 3rd.  😎
