Celebrity Eclipse in Alesund and Stavanger

When we woke the following morning we found ourselves already in Alesund and had barely noticed the ship coming alongside. The town itself was right outside our window.

It’s not very often you come across a story like this and I thought it…

Stepping aboard the 122,000 tonne, 1033 ft long Celebrity Eclipse it is immediately clear that she oozes contemporary elegance from every corner and it seems to all be about relaxation and igniting the senses. I haven’t yet cruised…

Friendships

One of the great things about a cruise is the people you will meet and the new friendships you will return back home with.
