Goodbye Mercury - Hello Mein Schiff2!!

Celebrity Cruises this week confirmed that Celebrity Mercury will leave the Celebrity fleet at the end of February 2011. It will become the second ship in the TUI Cruises fleet, a line that is jointly owned by Celebrity parent Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd and German travel conglomerate TUI.

Celebrity Mercury's last sailing for the Celebrity brand will be on February 14, 2011. So if this is one of your preferred vessels give me a call and I can look t availability for you. Sailings beginning February 28, 2011, will now be cancelled. The line only had sailings through April 11 2011, open for sale, which has caused rumours for several months. Celebrity normally has programs for each ship selling about a year (or more) in advance. Incentives will be offered for passengers on the affected sailings to move to other itineraries. Celebrity Mercury had been scheduled to operate at the end of February 2011. The ship will become TUI's Mein Schiff 2 and enter service for TUI in May 2011. Like TUI's other ship, it is expected to be marketed only in German-speaking markets. So it really will be GOODBYE MERCURY…
