MIAMI -- Celebrity
Cruises is swapping two of its nearly identical Millennium-class
ships on its 2006 South America sailings, due to a change in the
Infinity's drydock schedule.
The Millennium,
which will enter a drydock in November, will replace the Infinity
in South America, starting with a Christmas Eve sailing from Fort
Lauderdale to Valparaiso, Chile, resuming its regular Caribbean
season on April 2. The ship offers alternating 14-day cruises
between Valparaiso and Buenos Aires, Argentina and a Carnaval
cruise roundtrip from Buenos Aires.
The Infinity, now
scheduled for a March 20 drydock in the Caribbean, will depart San
Diego, Calif., for a 14-day Panama Canal cruise and will begin
cruising from Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 24. The ship will sail
seven-day eastern Caribbean cruises.
The line also added
four seven-day cruises on the Century that sail roundtrip from Fort
Lauderdale during the Infinity's drydock period, between March 19
and April 9.
