Barcelona, October 18, 2017 – Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean's premium cruise line, will have all of Europe covered in 2019 with five impressive ships, including the new Celebrity Edge, the company's most innovative vessel, which will spend its inaugural season sailing the incredible waters of the Mediterranean.
The Celebrity Edge will offer 7- to 11-night itineraries departing from Barcelona and Rome. These itineraries will include two new ports of call: Nafplio (Greece), a coastal city with all the charm of a Greek island; and Santa Margherita (Italy), a picturesque coastal town very close to Portofino.
This new ship, which will be launched in the fall of 2018, will feature incredible innovations such as its cutting-edge, outward-facing design, highlighted by the revolutionary Magic Carpet and innovative infinity-deck staterooms. Europe will see a cruise ship like the Celebrity Edge sail its waters for the first time, and its passengers will experience Europe in a unique way aboard this groundbreaking vessel.

In addition to the Celebrity Edge, the cruise company that has redefined modern luxury travel will be present in Europe with four of the most amazing ships in its fleet: Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Reflection and Celebrity Silhouette.
“Our new itineraries include three exclusive ports of call—Nafplio (Greece), Rijeka (Croatia), and Santa Maragherita (Italy)—in addition to the nearly 90 ports of call we already offer, as well as overnight stays in 16 cities and countless shore excursions. These are just some of the reasons why we are recognized as the best cruise line in Europe,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO of Celebrity Cruises.

In 2019, the Celebrity Infinity will return to Europe for the first time since 2014, with 7- to 12-night itineraries that include visits to some of the region's most popular countries, such as Italy, Malta, Greece, and Croatia.

These combined departures have no repeated stops and include an overnight stay in the magical city of Venice.
The Celebrity Constellation will also return to Europe next season with exciting itineraries. The cruise line will sail the Dalmatian Coast, the French Riviera, Italy, Spain, the Greek islands, and Rijeka, Croatia, the company's newest port of call.

Alternate departures also offer travelers the option of booking consecutive 9- and 10-night itineraries for comprehensive and incredible journeys across Europe.
