Celebrity Cruises is cancelling the winter 2022-23 Asia season on Celebrity Solstice.
“We have made the difficult decision to cancel our Asia season due to
the ongoing uncertainty around when international operations might
fully restart in this region,” Celebrity said in a statement.
“Our guests have the option to apply their current booking to select
Asia sailings in our 2023-24 season, or they may choose a full refund.
We thank our guests for their patience and understanding as the world
continues to reopen and we continue to work through unique
circumstances.”
Industry newsletter Cruise Week reported the Solstice instead will
operate in the Mexican Riviera, taking over the
September-through-December sailings that were scheduled for Celebrity
Millennium, which now will switch to the Caribbean.
The move comes after Princess Cruises reported on 14 March that it
cancelled numerous Asia sailings, including Sapphire Princess cruises in
Asia and Australia departing through 29 October 2022. The line also
canceled Japan cruises on Diamond Princess through 9 June 2022, and
Diamond Princess cruises in Japan and Singapore departing through 3
March 2023.
