After much speculation, the Celebrity Century will leave the fleet in 2015 and sail for China’s Ctrip. She will actually be sold to Exquisite Marine Ltd. which will act as a holding company for Ctrip. The transfer of ownership will occur in April 2015 and her last cruise will be switched from Dubai-to-Rome to a Dubai-Singapore voyage.
Ctrip had been in the market for a vessel after deciding to take the plunge and start up a cruise line.
