The 91,000-gross registered ton ship is on her Asian maiden season and the call is part of her 14-night cruise from Hong Kong which also features stops at Keelung, Busan, Jeju, Tianjing and Shanghai.
An official ceremony was held onboard the ship to welcome her arrival, with plaque exchanges between Captain Costas Patsoulas of Celebrity Millennium and local government officials including Mr. Kou Takae, Director of Asian & International Policy Section, Nagasaki City and business partners.
Mr Isao Iio, Celebrity Cruises’ Japan representative said, “Today we are proud to bring Celebrity Millennium to Nagasaki, her first Japanese port-of-call where her guests will be able to explore and discover its famed hot springs, temples and museums. Celebrity Cruises’ ‘Modern Luxury’ style also appeals well to discerning Japanese cruisers, who happen to be amongst our top customers in Asia. With more Celebrity cruises in Asia and newer onboard and shore-side experiences to offer, we are confident in growing the Japanese market in the years to come.”
The 2,158-guest Celebrity Millennium which was launched in 2000, underwent a major renovation last year and now features 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 soon completing this month, Celebrity Millennium will have visited nine countries new to the brand, including Vietnam, Thailand and China, among others. She is featuring a series of 14-night one-way cruises between Hong Kong and Singapore, with overnight stays in ports like Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay and Hong Kong. This ship will also be returning for the second consecutive Asia season in 2013/2014.
