Velez and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Chairman and CEO Richard Fain have
announced that Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean International will resume
port calls to Cartagena, Colombia, starting in April 2007. At a meeting in
Cartagena, the two executives were highly enthusiastic about the cruise line’s
return and the partnership that made it possible. The company last called in
Cartagena in 2002.
"We are delighted to be returning to Cartagena and to be able to showcase its
rich history and vibrant culture for our guests," Fain said. "We are grateful to
President Uribe and his administration for the lengths to which they have gone
to provide a safe and satisfying experience for our guests."
"We are very pleased to have Celebrity and Royal Caribbean again as partners and
as members of our community," said President Uribe. "Cartagena provides a unique
destination experience in the Caribbean with its mix of tour options, history –
including a UNESCO World Heritage site – superb shopping, and varied dining
options."
Celebrity Cruises will make 24 visits to Cartagena: 11 on Zenith, seven on
Constellation, six on Infinity and four on Summit. Royal Caribbean will make
eight calls at Cartagena over the 2007-2008 season: five on Brilliance of the
Seas, two on Radiance of the Seas and one on Serenade of the Seas.
