Meyer Werft Floats Out Celebrity Equinox

Germany's Meyer Werft floated out Celebrity's second Solstice-class vessel, from their covered building dock on Saturday. The 122,000-ton Celebrity Equinox will remain at the Papenburg yard for final fitting out until its transit down the Ems River which is currently scheduled for June 19 or 20, depending on weather conditions. Shortly after reaching Eemshaven at the mouth of the river, it will depart on sea trials.

Celebrity Equinox is scheduled to enter service in Europe on July 31.
