Celebrity Eclipse on the way to the UK

clock 15th March 2010 | comment0 Comments
UK cruise lovers are a step closer to sampling the brand new 122,000-ton Celebrity Eclipse, which has set sail from the German dockyard where it was built for its new home.The luxurious vessel set sail for Southampton where it will be based after its launch, although the journey is expected to be the most challenging ride of the vessel's life.Due to the size of the 121-foot-wide ship, it will have to pass through a series of gaps with at times just a few inches to spare on each side and below.However, through a process known as "conveyance", the ship will be guided through an innovative system in which the position of the moon will be carefully monitored to ensure tidal conditions ...

Updated April 2018 After sending a well-deserving member of the team - Claire - off on a fabulous 3 night Disney Cruise Line Bahamian cruise onboard Disney Wonder (the sister ship of the Disney Magic), she was all too eager to share her experience upon return.      A smooth check-in was a good start to my holiday, I was impressed with the spacious Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal used by Disney Cruise Line, and it was great fun walking through Mickey's ears to board the ship.

What our customers say


"I booked a Fred Olsen cruise with IGLU last month and was so impressed by the service I received. The staff member I spoke to was Kimberley and she was exemplary. Capable, kind, professional, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. She went through every step of the way calmly and thoroughly. IGLU were recommended to me by friends and I have no hesitation in passing the recommendation along. Well done IGLU and thank you. "

"So easy to deal with, I studied the Cruise I wanted, did my research with different company's and returned to Iglu. I had three quotes matching Iglu’s cost, but with one phone call they beat the price themselves by £40 without me even asking, how easy was that! "
