Millennium memories


Each cruise season brings a greater variety of ships visiting Sydney, some are frequent visitors but others are pawns to the re-positioning movements of Head Office. One such ship is the Millennium which visited briefly between 2008-2009 and has since never returned. Below are a selection of videos and photos taken on two separate occasions (and two vastly different cameras!)


Stormy skies gather over the Millennium.

Millenium was the largest ship positioned in Australia for Celebrity cruises at the time, she replaced Century which returned for the 2011-2012 season and will be superseded by the Celebrity Solstice when she arrives in November 2012.

Storm clouds gather but the summers sun still shines its rays on the Millennium.


An evening departure and unusually - for a modern cruise ship - assisted by tugs.


The Millennium has rounded the Opera House and under the guidance of the Harbour Pilot heading towards Sydney Heads and then out into the Pacific.

A last look as the sun fades and the Millennium sails further away....
