Experience the Panama Canal the way you've always dreamed

Stand face-to-face with the grandeur of the Panama Canal aboard Celebrity Cruises - the only cruise that gives you a full vacation while crossing the Continental Divide. When the Celebrity Millennium enters the canal, it will rise 85 feet in one of the legendary Gatun Locks. As you cross the Continental Divide - a journey that took mariners of long ago many years to complete - a new world of wonder and amazement awaits you on the other side. Join us for what will undoubtedly be an enlightening and rewarding journey.

 

Genealogy Classes at Sea

While at sea attend classes taught by some of genealogy's finest educators, Legacy Family Tree webinar speakers, and Legacy developers:

• Megan Smolenyak
• Karen Clifford
• Geoff Rasmussen
• Randy Seaver
• Steve Salisbury
• Dave Berdan
• Ken McGinnis
• Luc Comeau

In addition to the classes, you will benefit from the small-group sessions and lots of time to learn from each other.

 

The Ship

Luxurious accommodations and intuitive service consistently place Celebrity Millennium at the top of the rankings among large cruise ships. A favorite of many vacationers, Celebrity Millennium was "Solsticized" in May of 2012 and emerged with many award-winning Solstice® Class features. She's been renewed with spa-inspired AquaClass® staterooms, the AquaClass signature restaurant, Blu, and the addition of verandas to her chic Celebrity Suites. We can't think of a better way to experience the exotic beauty of the Panama Canal than aboard Celebrity Millennium. Out of the ordinary? Definitely.

My comments:  Linda and I went on the 2012 Legacy Family Tree cruise from Oslo, Norway, visiting LeHavre, Cherbourg, Dublin, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Oslo, and we had a wonderful time.  The best part was the camaraderie with over 100 genealogists and the Legacy Family Tree staff.  

I look forward to renewing friendships and enjoying visits to four new countries on my "bucket list," plus the days of genealogy classes onboard, and the offshore excursions, great food and conversation. 

I hope that many of my Genea-Musings readers, San Diego area colleagues and genealogy friends will take advantage of this opportunity.
