Celebrity Cruises announced that it will resume operations in Southern Europe in June. The first trips will be in the Mediterranean exploring the Greek islands.
The ship will be Celebrity Apex and it is scheduled to leave dock on June 19th. Departing from Athens, the journey will consist of a seven-night trip around Greece and the Aegean Sea.
The Celebrity Apex will stop in Mykonos, Rhodes, and Santorini in Greece before continuing onto Limassol, Cyprus, and Haifa, Israel. These stopovers are possible thanks to the safe corridor signed between Greece, Cyprus and Israel back in February.
On board the Celebrity Apex, all passengers and crew members older than 18 must be vaccinated against Covid-19 before departure. Those younger than 18 will have to present negative PCR test results before boarding.
Guests will be able to enjoy a brand new feature: The Magic Carpet. It is the world’s first cantilevered, floating platform that reaches heights of 13 stories above sea level. It is designed with comfortable seating, a full bar, and space for live music performances.
Celebrity Apex is such an exquisite ship and for her to finally begin sailing in the beautiful Aegean

Depending on the positioning, its mood and function changes—providing exciting new venues, incredible visual perspectives, and a distinct experience on every deck it visits. Take your meeting or event to the next level with this innovative and transformative space that accommodates up to 100 guests.
At the very top of the ship, the Magic Carpet becomes an extraordinary venue high in the sky where we host mouthwatering experiences such as Dinner on the Edge. Down to Deck 14, the Magic Carpet becomes a stunning extension of the main pool area, while on Deck 5, it serves as an unforgettable, open-air dining experience. Then at the bottom on Deck 2, the Magic Carpet becomes an extension of luxury at The Destination Gateway.
