Ultra-premium cruise brand Celebrity Cruises will be starting her maiden Asian season with Celebrity Millennium tomorrow December 9, 2012. The 91,000-gross registered ton ship has arrived in Singapore for the first time today, for two overnights while ending her 17-night cruise from Sydney and starting her first cruise in Singapore tomorrow.
An official ceremony was held onboard the ship to welcome her arrival, with plaque exchanges between Ms Neeta Lachmandas, Assistant Chief Executive (Business Development Group) of Singapore Tourism Board, Mr Melvin Vu, CEO of SATS-Creuers Cruise Services and Captain Zisis S Taramas of Celebrity Millennium. Ms Jennifer Yap, Managing Director, Singapore of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. said, “Celebrity Cruises has long been an established brand amongst Asian cruisers and with this first Asian season on Celebrity Millennium, we are able to bring its award-winning, luxurious cruises to more of its fans here. Celebrity’s entry today also marks the expansion of our company’s presence in Asia together with our two other brands Royal Caribbean International and Azamara Club Cruises, allowing us to cater to a wider spectrum of customers.”
The 2,158-guest Celebrity Millennium which was launched in 2000, underwent a major renovation earlier this year and now features with the renowned Solstice Class features, including the spa-inspired AquaClass staterooms, Blu the ‘spa’ restaurant, ‘uniquely unordinary’ Qsine restaurant, stylish creperie Bistro on Five and Cellar Masters with a bold collection of wines from around the world. Guests onboard will enjoy Celebrity’s exquisite cuisine, unparalleled service of a guest-to-staff ratio of nearly 2 to 1, stylish accommodation, the luxurious spa, unique entertainment, destination-rich regional itineraries and more. Celebrity’s Millennium Class ships ranked among the top 10 lines in the mid-size ship category in the 2012 Condé Nast Traveler’s annual “Best in the World” readers’ poll.
For her maiden Asian season from now till next April, Celebrity Millennium will visit nine countries new to the brand, including Vietnam, Thailand and China, among others. She will feature a series of 14-night one-way cruises between Singapore and Hong Kong, with overnight stays in ports like Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay and Hong Kong.
