The Celebrity Equinox is the newest ship to be approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to set sail from the US once more!
The Equinox is now the eleventh ship within Celebrity’s fleet of 14 that will be sailing in the coming months, but only the third slated to call a US port home.
Celebrity’s first ship to sail in over a year, the Celebrity Millennium set sail this past Saturday- June 5th from St Maarten to rave reviews from excited and even emotional passengers.
