Chris Frame - Cruise History

The History of celebrity cruises and look at how the line was developed out of the Chandris line

 

It was formed in the early 20th century by John Chandris who was a Greek shipping magnet and his son's Dimitri and Anthony got involved in business. They expanded the line after World War II and it was involved in the assisted passage to Australia. They then developed a Cruise Line which focused on cheap cruises but later reorganised this into the celebrity cruises that we know today - focusing on Bermuda cruising - that was instrumental in the development of many modern day cruising traits.

I recently lectured on board celebrity cruises for the first time as a guest speaker and presented a lecture about the history of celebrity cruises to a packed out audience on board and also am aware that celebrity is one of the brands that dedicates shipped to the Australian market every summer and is quite popular with repeat guests
