The Celebrity Equinox had itineraries in place for the summer of 2017 sailing around the Mediterranean but it seems that Celebrity Cruises have had a change of heart. They have now cancelled all of these sailings and have announced that the Equinox will instead be sailing round the Caribbean all-year round basing her sailings out of Miami.
This move came as quite as a surprise to me as I booked a good client of mine on an Equinox sailing for 2017 the night before Celebrity made this change. The news came the next day that this had all changed.
I do feel bad for all of the people that had already made bookings and plans for the Equinox in 2017 to sail around the Med, it is a shame that this decision wasn’t made by Celebrity with more advance notice. I do think otherwise this isn’t a bad idea at all though as Celebrity already have other ships sailing around the Med and summer Med sailings are quite a saturated market. At least now this will give guests who enjoy Celebrity Cruises (myself included) the chance to sail to the Caribbean any time of the year if I so wished.
The newly announced sailings include seven-night itineraries between June and August, and 10 and 11 night itineraries throughout the rest of the year.
