Celebrity Cruises have wiped Istanbul out of their routes for 2016 due to limited availability of moorings at port operations.

This eliminates the initially planned overnight stays of Celebrity Reflection and Celebrity Equinox.

Instead, Celebrity Reflection will extend the time spent in Athens on an overnight stay and also call at Chania in Crete and Bodrum in Turkey.

The Celebrity Equinox will also add an overnight stay in Athens and to Mykonos and Ephesus or an overnight stay before Malta – depending on each route.
