Nancy and Carrie just returned from the Celebrity President’s Cruise onboard the Celebrity APEX. During a cruise Q+A Celebrity President Laura Hodges Bethge walked the guests through the cruise line’s plans for European river cruising. The first ships won’t be in the water until 2027 but plans are in to aggressively expand the fleet with four more ships in 2028 and an additional four in 2028. Eventually, Laura said that all of the major rivers will have a Celebrity presence.
