“We’re delighted to be returning to Southampton after over a year away,” Celebrity CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said. “We are truly committed to the UK market and can’t wait to welcome guests back onboard.”

“What could be better than a new luxury ship, ready to take guests on a journey around one of the world’s most beautiful and impressive coastlines?” Lutoff-Perlo continued. “Not only is this extremely significant to us as a business, but also to efforts to boost the UK’s local tourism industry.”

As for what travelers should expect when they step on the enhanced Celebrity Silhouette, they will experience modernized staterooms and suites; reimagined restaurants, bars, and lounges; a redesigned spa and casino; new designer boutiques; RFID lock technology with digital key access and more.

The announcement comes just days after Celebrity announced its Caribbean comeback with Celebrity Millennium departing from St. Maarten and Celebrity Apex departing from Greece, both in June.
