#cruisenews #cruise #booking #celeberties #infinity #technology #ship #booking On February 16, 2026, Celebrity Cruises cancelled a scheduled sailing of the Celebrity Infinity at short notice due to a technical issue identified during its previous voyage. The cancellation affected an 11-night Eastern Mediterranean cruise departing from the Port of Piraeus, leaving passengers scrambling to adjust their travel plans just hours before embarkation. What Led to the Cruise Cancellation? According to the cruise line, the ship experienced a technical malfunction that required further inspection and repairs. Despite ongoing efforts by onboard engineers and technical teams, the issue could not be resolved in time to ensure a safe and smooth voyage. Celebrity Cruises released a statement explaining that while experts had been working diligently to address the problem, additional time was necessary to complete assessments and repairs. The company emphasized that passenger safety and operational reliability were the top priorities behind the decision to cancel the February 16 sailing. Passengers scheduled to board the 2,170-guest vessel were notified in the late afternoon of February 15, giving them less than 24 hours’ notice. Passenger Compensation and Refund Policy To mitigate the disruption, Celebrity Cruises announced a comprehensive compensation package for affected guests. Travelers will receive a full refund of the cruise fare, which will be returned to their original form of payment. In addition, the cruise line is offering a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) worth 100% of the cruise fare, valid for any Celebrity Cruises sailing within the next year. The company also addressed travel logistics for stranded passengers: Guests who booked flights through Flights by Celebrity were contacted with alternative return options. Those who arranged independent travel will be reimbursed up to $200* per guest for domestic flight change fees and up to $400* per guest for international flights. The cruise line will cover up to two nights of hotel accommodation, capped at $300* per night. A $100* per guest for daily credit for up to two days will be provided to help cover incidental expenses such as meals and transportation. These measures aim to reduce the financial burden and inconvenience caused by unexpected cancellations.
