Looks like EDGE will be out of the gen cruise lineup during that extended period.

Glad we already enjoyed 2 great cruises on her...

 

We booked BEYOND and after that  may back track to APEX.

Been on sale for about a week. We booked a Sky Suite for leg 1. It was $12,500 for two. 

 

Aqua Class is about $8500.

Infinite Verandah about $6900.

All booked. Very excited!

I called as soon as I saw the e-mail and I was on hold for 1 hour. The person I spoke to said she didn’t know the e-mail was going to go out today and for the 1 hour the e-mail has been out, she was on back to back to back phone calls. 
 

We ended up booking the second leg of the journey! A sunset veranda room for $3272/person. We had to give a $450 deposit. 
 

We asked what happened if canceled next year and we were told that it would cost us $100 to cancel and the rest ($350) would be available as a credit for a future cruise. It is worth the risk as we do not know what we will be doing in 2 years.

We booked 3 legs last week Dubai to Sydney in a Sky suite Deck 12  total £23500 as we got price match

Agreed but if I could afford it I likely would not be in a position to worry about what ”work” thought about it anyways ha!

 

Has anyone received solid pricing on this itinerary yet? I would require a traditional balcony at least, no way we could do an interior or OV on this one. 

A sunset veranda with the Indulge package is $9103 for 2 for the first leg (14 nights). 

 

Also it is on the website. The call center Rep told me its confusing they just say to call. And I did locate it on there, so you dont need to sit on hold.

I must say that both X and RC know how to get the phones to ring in this current environment AND bookings to boot...

 

Kudos - any other line with similar exciting sailings anyone knows of???

Oceania has a almost world cruise, 40+ days I think, $268k for a small suite.  RCL, 274 days is like $168k...

A few years ago we wanted to do an extended sailing, to include Asia. We first looked at Celebrity, but they did not offer this kind of sailing back then, without repeated ports. You could sail from A to B, then there would be a loop of B back to B, then possibly a charter where you would have to disembark and rejoin the ship.

 

We ended up going with Regent, similar to this it was 4 legs B2B. The beginning was the same, Rome to Dubai to Singapore. Then we sailed to Hong Kong and then ended in Beijing. It was 63 nights, no repeat ports which was exactly what we were looking for. Regent tends to do this sort of schedule. One of the pluses on Regent is that excursions are included in the cost, as are international business class flights. We also had included 3 nights with tours in Beijing. Back then it worked out to be a bit more than Celebrity might have been but not overly so.

Seems RCL/Celebrity is jumping on these types of cruises now.  Do you think it has to do with how quickly they see the newly announced ATW cruises on the "luxury" lines selling out so quickly?  Sure seems to be a market for it in premium lines based on how soon the RCL suites sold and now the EDGE.

[Provence55always]

We did the 1st three legs with Celebrity over the last few years. Loved every one, our last cruise was leg 3 in January 2020 just before Covid-19.Would do all three again in a heart beat B2B2B but my husband thinks 14/15 nights on a cruise is just perfect🤷‍♀️.

This is too late for us.  We are booked on Azamara Singapore to Athens and really looking forward to seeing Petra.

11/13 - Iconic Suite 12101 $57,105

ALL tips, premium beverage, WIFI, port charges and tax included. specialty dining for three legs in Iconic.  

 

 

To clarify, I did not book this, I was interested in what the whole shebang would cost.

All four legs have been available on the TA site for over a week. Any TA could have booked them, and still can.

I booked a SV for the first leg (Rome-Dubai) on October 20th.  I booked it as soon as I saw it and I thought I booked "all included" but only have a summary of the booking (content in body of email, not detailed attachment) and it's not noted.  

 

I paid $6623 for the SV.   I've been on hold with Captains Club for 51 minutes so far and was wondering if anyone else booked this leg in an SV and if the price I paid is in line with "All Included" fare.   

 

After reading the thread to be aware of Celebrity's pricing models (i.e., AI, NRD's, Loyalty discounts) and now I'm not sure what I booked.   I usually receive a summary detailed attachment that spells out what I purchased.  This is the 4th cruise I booked since the restart and the only one that didn't include the detailed attachment.

 

One lesson for me is to take a screen shot when the "summary pricing screen comes up when I book a reservation.   

I also tried to book a mock reservation but can't even find this leg on the Celebrity website now.   

 

 

[xbankguy]

We booked all four legs.  Leg 1 in  Sunset veranda, Leg 2&3 in Aqua Class, Leg 4 in Sunset Veranda.  All staterooms on deck 9.  A mere 2 years until we fly to Rome.  We will spend Christmas in Australia and ring in the New Year from Sydney.  

[xbankguy]

Is anyone having trouble seeing Leg 1 and Leg 2 on the Celebrity website?  I can’t see them and I’m not sure why.  Thanks for any replies.

I can't see them though they were there yesterday. I captured the following info yesterday, price per person in $ CDN, for a Sky Suite. The disclaimer is 'average per person'.

 

Oct 30 14 night 6,759

Nov 13 12 nights 6,499

Nov 25 14 nights  7,499

Dec 9 12 nights  5,838

 

Had we not already done most of this itinerary, we would be very interested.

I just booked the October 30th, November 13th and November 25th legs.  We've been to a number of the ports on prior cruises, but this is a nice itinerary.  And we have never been through the Suez Canal.
