Celebrity Cruises cancels overnights in Istanbul

Celebrity
Cruises said that overnight port stays in Istanbul have been canceled as a
result of the security climate in Turkey.  

“We will
continue to closely monitor the situation in Turkey and have been contacting
guests and their travel agents [to make] modifications to their upcoming
itineraries,” a Celebrity statement said.

Cruises on
the Celebrity Equinox, Reflection and Constellation in September and October are so
far affected.

Last month, Costa Cruises said it would stop calling at Istanbul for the balance of the
year, following an attack on the U.S. Embassy there in early August.
