Celebrity Cruises has formally launched the construction of its newest cruise ship, Celebrity Equinox.
The newest vessel will become the second 122,000-tonne Solstice-class ship when it joins the fleet.
Pressing the button at the launch was Richard Vain, Chief Executive Officer of
Royal Caribbean Cruises, the parent company of
Celebrity Cruises.
According to
Celebrity Cruises, Celebrity Equinox will have larger standard staterooms - in keeping with other ships such as the
Celebrity Constellation.
Furthermore, travellers planning a cruise aboard the new vessel will be pleased to know that 85 per cent of its staterooms will have verandas.
Celebrity Constellation is a Millennium-class ship which offers comfort and entertainment to all its passengers and includes a health spa.
