Celebrity Cruises Resumes Guest Sailings From Australia

On Saturday, Celebrity Cruises’ ship Celebrity Eclipse set sail from Sydney, marking the return of the cruise line’s passenger voyages from Australia.

Guests on board Eclipse are now on a 12-night itinerary to explore the scenic wilderness of New Zealand. This cruise is the first of 17 sailings departing Sydney and Auckland through April 2023, and the first for Celebrity Eclipse in Australian, New Zealand, and South Pacific waters.

“The return Down Under has been long-awaited but someday has finally arrived! Celebrity Eclipse is the first Celebrity ship to sail this region for 930 days – a momentous occasion for the brand and our team members who have worked so hard to get to this point; and the first of many WonderFULL sailings ahead,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO of Celebrity Cruises. “Returning to this region is another significant milestone in the industry’s global recovery, as we sail forward into a bright future.”
