Celebrity Infinity Returns to Service After Drydock Maintenance

The Celebrity Infinity is back in action after completing important maintenance work. The ship finished a scheduled drydock period in Marseille, France, and welcomed guests again on January 11.

The 2001-built vessel spent nine days at Chantier Naval de Marseille shipyard. During this time, the crew completed technical repairs and routine upkeep. The ship also went through required certification and survey work as it approaches its 25th birthday in 2026.

Current Cruise: Canary Islands and Morocco Adventure

Celebrity Infinity kicked off its return with a exciting ten-night cruise. The ship departed from Barcelona and is heading to the Canary Islands and Morocco. Guests will visit five amazing destinations during this roundtrip voyage.

The itinerary includes stops in popular ports like Casablanca and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Travelers will also explore Cadiz and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. These destinations offer a perfect mix of culture, history, and beautiful scenery.

What’s Next: Greek Islands and Eastern Mediterranean

Celebrity Infinity has big plans for the coming months. The ship will move to the Greek Islands and Eastern Mediterranean in early February. This repositioning cruise will take guests from Barcelona to Piraeus, Greece.

Starting February 16, the 2,170-guest ship begins a series of longer cruises. These ten and eleven-night voyages will explore Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey. The first cruise departs roundtrip from Piraeus and visits seven exciting ports.

Guests on the eleven-night Greek Islands cruise can look forward to visiting Limassol and Antalya. The itinerary also includes stops in Nafplion, Heraklion, and Rhodes. Each destination offers unique experiences and stunning Mediterranean views.

Year-Round European Operations

Celebrity Infinity has found its home in European waters. The ship has been operating in Europe year-round since 2023. This schedule gives American travelers consistent access to Mediterranean and European cruises throughout all seasons.

The ship’s permanent European base makes it easier for U.S. cruisers to plan trips. You don’t have to worry about repositioning schedules or limited sailing seasons. Celebrity Infinity offers European adventures twelve months a year.

More Celebrity Ships Getting Upgrades

Celebrity Infinity won’t be the only ship getting attention this year. The Celebrity Solstice is next in line for major improvements. This 2008-built vessel will enter drydock later this month for extensive modernization.

The Solstice refurbishment is part of a much larger plan. Celebrity Cruises is investing $250 million to upgrade multiple Solstice-class ships. These improvements will add new restaurants, better entertainment, and redesigned outdoor areas.

Cruise Industry News reports that Celebrity Solstice will return in March with exciting additions. The ship will feature 54 new cabins and suites after its makeover. The upgrades also include enhanced dining options and entertainment venues that guests will love.
