Celebrity Equinox Booked to Visit St. Kitts

With the 2007/2008 cruise ship season scheduled to bring in over 400,000 passengers to St Kitts and Nevis, it is expected that the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons will be busier.

Celebrity Cruises has just announced that its newest ship, the 117,000-ton, 2,850-passenger Celebrity Equinox, the second in the lines’ newest class of ships, sets sail in 2009, will visit St Kitts mid-summer 2009 and the first quarter of 2010.

On November 5, 2009, the Celebrity Equinox will sail a transatlantic voyage to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she will subsequently begin a series of alternating 11-and 10-night “Ultimate Caribbean” voyages.

The 10-night sailings, taking place on December 4 and December 14, 2009, and January 15, February 5, February 26, March 19 and April 9, 2010, include calls on Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas; Basseterre, St Kitts; Bridgetown, Barbados; Roseau, Dominica and Philipsburg, St Maarten.

Celebrity’s current fleet will be joined by Celebrity Solstice in 2008, Celebrity Equinox in 2009, Celebrity Eclipse in 2010, and a fourth Solstice-class ship in 2011.
