Celebrity Cruise kicks off maiden Asian season

It has docked in Singapore for the first time.

According to a release, cruise brand Celebrity Cruises started her maiden Asian season with Celebrity Millennium December 9, 2012.

The 91,000-gross registered ton ship has arrived in Singapore for the first time, for two overnights while ending her 17-night cruise from Sydney and starting her
first cruise in Singapore on 9 December.

An official ceremony was held onboard the ship to welcome her arrival, with plaque exchanges between Ms Neeta Lachmandas, Assistant Chief Executive (Business Development Group) of Singapore Tourism Board, Mr Melvin Vu, CEO of SATS-Creuers Cruise Services and Captain Zisis S Taramas of Celebrity Millennium.

The 2,158-guest Celebrity Millennium which was launched in 2000, underwent a major renovation earlier this year and now features with the renowned Solstice Class features, including the spa-inspired AquaClass staterooms, Blu the ‘spa’ restaurant, ‘uniquely unordinary’ Qsine restaurant, stylish creperie Bistro on Five and Cellar Masters with a bold collection of wines from around the world.

Guests onboard will enjoy Celebrity’s exquisite cuisine, unparalleled service of a guest-to-staff ratio of nearly 2 to 1, stylish accommodation, the luxurious spa, unique entertainment, destination-rich regional itineraries and more. Celebrity’s Millennium Class ships ranked among the top 10 lines in the mid-size ship category in the 2012 Condé Nast Traveler’s annual “Best in the World” readers’ poll.

For her maiden Asian season from now till next April, Celebrity Millennium will visit nine countries new to the brand, including Vietnam, Thailand and China, among others. She
will feature a series of 14-night one-way cruises between Singapore and Hong Kong, with overnight stays in ports like Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay and
Hong Kong. The season also will include two 14-night roundtrip sailings from Singapore with overnight stays in Bali in January 2013. This ship will also be returning for the
second consecutive Asia season in 2013/2014.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
