Celebrity Cruises, the leader in relaxed luxury cruising, is celebrating the return of its entire fleet with the sailing of Celebrity Infinity from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades on June 25, 2022. This marks the first sailing in 881 days for the ship and the full return of all 63 ships in the Royal Caribbean Group fleet.
The brand’s return to service began on June 26, 2021, with the award-winning Celebrity Edge making history as the first cruise ship to sail from a U.S. port in 15 months after being grounded due to the global pandemic. Since then, the line has systematically returned more ships to the water, offering sailings to breathtaking destinations from the Caribbean to Europe, Alaska, and the Galapagos.
Celebrity Infinity’s return sailing not only marks the end of an incredible journey but sets a course for a whole new world of infinite possibilities for the brand and for cruise travel. Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, the CEO of Celebrity Cruises, says “The future is very bright” for the brand, thanks to the time, effort, and love that the team has poured into bringing the entire fleet back.
Adding to the significance of this milestone, the return of Celebrity Infinity coincides with the Day of the Seafarer, a day designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in recognition of the valuable contribution seafarers make to international trade and the world economy. Lutoff-Perlo recognizes the tireless effort and unwavering commitment of the crew, saying they are the very heart and soul of the Celebrity Cruises’ experience.
Celebrity Infinity’s first sailing in over two years will take guests on a seven-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary with stops in the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and the Dominican Republic, while providing celebratory perks and special moments. Following her return sailing, the ship will embark on alternating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, featuring calls to Bimini or Nassau, Bahamas, and Key West, Florida.
