Celebrity Millennium Spends 2024 In Asia
Celebrity Cruises will be returning to Asia for the 2024-2025 season, according to the most recent deployment release for the cruise line. This deployment will see the return of two ships - Celebrity Millennium and the larger Celebrity Solstice to Asian destinations. The 2024-2025 deployment demonstrates the demand for Asia cruises from an international clientele, as one of cruising's most sought-after regions.
One of the highlights of the deployment? Celebrity Millennium will remain in Asia after the conclusion of her 2023-2024 deployment in March 2024, marking a year-round presence in Asia for the Royal Caribbean Group subsidiary. She will arrive in Yokohama in time for spring, when the highly sought-after cherry blossom season begins.
