Can someone tell me about the Celebrity Journey? Is this a new ship or a renamed ship? I see its sailing out of NYC this summer to Bermuda. Thank God the Horizon and Zenith don't do that any more....those ships were flat out boring.

It sems they transferred it from Pullmantur after their recent acquisition. Not sure which ship it was, but they are transferring another one also.

Two of Celebrity's new acquisitions, the Journey and the Quest, used to be Renaissance ships. They're getting a 3rd ship, Celebrity XPedition, which will sail the Galapagos Islands.

Way out of my price range at the moment. But would have to agree with Chef Ken, is a pretty awesome itinerary.

We were in Bermuda last week on a Royal Caribbean cruise and pulled up to this ship. I was puzzled because it is labeled "Azamara Journey". After looking closer, we found a very small Celebrity flag flying off the bow. In all the pictures I previously saw, she was a black ship like Zenith or Horizon...Didn't talk to anyone from the ship to see how they liked it, though.
