The move means the 2,910-passenger ship will operate ex-UK for two consecutive summers.

Confirmation came on Thursday (16 November) as Celebrity put its 2025/26 programme on sale, which features more Arctic Circle and Norwegian fjords sailings than previous ex-UK programmes.

Meanwhile, as yet-to-launch Celebrity Xcel will operate seven-night Caribbean sailings from Fort Lauderdale starting November 2025.
