Detailed answer
Celebrity Equinox was built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, and began commercial service on Friday 31 July 2009.

Celebrity describes ten dining venues, including Tuscan Grille and the Chef's Table by Chef Daniel Boulud, alongside Luminae for suite guests in The Retreat, Craft Social, the Slush frozen cocktail bar and the Lawn Club, an area of real grass on the top deck. The ship has Starlink internet. The Gibraltar port listing expects about 2,850 passengers on its one 2027 call, mainly British and European.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Yes, from Barcelona. The call on Monday 26 July 2027 is part of a ten-night Spain, Portugal and France voyage leaving Barcelona on Saturday 24 July 2027, calling at Cartagena, Gibraltar, Funchal in Madeira with an overnight stay, Malaga and Ajaccio in Corsica, and ending at Civitavecchia for Rome on Tuesday 3 August 2027. Through 2027 Celebrity Equinox sails a European season based on Barcelona and Civitavecchia, with several voyages calling at Malaga, Cadiz for Seville and Lisbon. It is sold through Celebrity Cruises and travel agents.
