New Ship for Celebrity Cruises- the Quest

Celebrity has acquired another ship for its Expeditions fleet, bringing the total to three. Originally Renaissance Cruises' R7, and currently sailing for Pullmantur as the Blue Moon, the ship is slated to join Celebrity's fleet in October 2007 as the Celebrity Quest.

Before setting sail under the Celebrity Expeditions brand, the 710-passenger ship will undergo a month-long drydock to add 32 new suites. In addition, the ship will gain two specialty restaurants, new bedding and soft goods, as well as public areas that are popular on other Celebrity ships, including AquaSpa by Elemis, Cova Cafe, Michael's Club and Online@Celebrity.

The Celebrity Quest will offer 12- and 14-night Caribbean sailings from Miami to St. Barts, Guadeloupe, Dominica and Turks & Caicos in October and November 2007. In December 2007, the Celebrity Quest will reposition to Acapulco to operate 14-night sailings through the Panama Canal.

This is going to be a good option for those clients who want upscale cruising but also have been to most cruise ports in the Caribbean.
