Anyone tempted to book the new maiden voyage from Southampton to the Norwegian fjords scheduled for Celebrity Equinox will have to be quick.
A delighted Jo Rzymowska, Celebrity Cruises' associate vice-president and general manager UK and Ireland, tells me the cruise sold out within 24 hours of going on sale, either with confirmed bookings or options.
Within another 24 hours the res team was chasing passengers to see if they wanted the option or if they could release the extra space.
It bodes well for Celebrity Eclipse, a sister to Equinox, which will be based in Southampton in summer 2010 and offer cruises aimed at the UK market.
