Silhouette - No June 2017 sailings?

[simmo]

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas as to why there are no advertised sailings on the Silhouette in June 2017. Could she be heading for a refurbishment? Or maybe they are just sold out? We are heading off on a Baltic cruise on her in July 2017 (very exciting!) and it would be great if the ship had just had a refurb!

 

Thanks :)

Probably a charter. I don't think I want the first cruise after a refurb - we are on the 6 July departure.

We are on the 29 June. It will be interesting to find out if it is a charter or refurb

Any news on the Silhouette June 2017? Only one cruise slated 6/29

[Pushka]

We were the cruise before the charter on Equinox in 2015. The ship booking for a month disappeared from all websites until the charter selected the time they wanted and then bookings around those weeks started appearing again. Subsequently our cruise was poorly advertised and some great bargains were released closer to sail date.

The ship has a 28 day Charter.

 

 

Were on the June 29th out of Stockholm.

It is when an organisation charters the complete ship.

She is doing 7 day cruises from Stockholm all of June 2017 but most are charters and only the one at the end of June is bookable via Celebrity.

 

A refurb is not required, she is fine!

Thanks. I have been delaying the purchasing of air in case the 29th June sailing is cancelled because of a charter. Hopefully it is safe to go ahead now.

Great will start looking at airfares. Just have to decide how long to spend in Stockholm before the cruise. Will go and join the roll call.

We are looking at that June 29th sailing, but I just noticed there's only one day in St. Pete (and two in Stockholm)? Is that right? Reading other reviews sounds like one day is not enough. Did anyone have concerns about that.

 

All the other options we're looking have flaws though. We really want to try Celbrity.

How bout 7.2.2017 Eclipse 14 days Baltic (3 days St. Pete)?

Embark Southampton.

It's actually chartered by State Farm for most of June.

 

I've cruised on just about every other line but this will be my first experience with Celebrity. I hear good things and am looking forward to it.

No refurb at all. State Farm Insurance has chartered the Celebrity Silhouette the whole month of June 2017 to reward top sellers and their families with 7 day-cruise in the Baltic Sea. They have also chartered planes to fly these groups to Stockholm. I have family going with the 22 June group.
