Celebrity Cruises to Return to Australia in 2022

Celebrity Cruises announced today that Celebrity Eclipse will be returning to Australia and New Zealand for the 2022-2023 season.

From September 2022 to April 2023, Eclipse will depart from both Sydney and Auckland on 19 different itineraries that are five to 18 nights long. The voyages will feature new themed experiences: “Sun and Beach Escapes,” “Food and Wine Classics,” and “Five Star Getaways.”

Each theme provides deeper immersion into the region’s unique culture, and are brought to life through enhanced onboard and shoreside programming. Examples include an overnight in Cairns with the option to sleep under the stars on a pontoon above the Great Barrier Reef, or savoring the area’s best wines poured by the winemakers during the first-ever Australian food and wine itinerary to Melbourne, Adelaide, and Hobart.
