Celebrity to base a ship in Abu Dhabi

I’m really excited this month as Celebrity Cruises have announced that from November 2016 the Celebrity Constellation will be based in Abu Dhabi  and will be offering cruises around the Middle East and Asia. Currently the only cruise line based in Abu Dhabi is the German cruise line Aida and the only ones using Dubai as a home port are Costa, MSC and Royal Caribbean.  I get asked for Middle East cruises alot as it is hot during our winter months and closer to fly to than the Caribbean so it will be great to be able to offer a 5* cruise line and a choice of sail dates and itineraries

The itineraries that she is offering include some really good ports of call that are often only featured on world cruise or by the top luxury cruise lines, the ports offered include Mumbai, Goa and Cochin in India. The full itineraries are listed here.
