Celebrity-Eclipse Vessel Reviews and Specifications

Amsterdam faced another disruption on August 3, 2023, as activists from Extinction Rebellion staged a protest, causing delays for the cruise ship 'Celebrity Eclipse.' The incident occurred around 6 a.m. when approximately 30 environmental demonstrators, equipped with kayaks and inflatables, obstructed access to the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam. The protesters brandished banners proclaiming messages like 'Cruise is polluting our planet,' aiming to raise awareness about the environmental impacts of cruise travel. After two hours of standoff, local authorities stepped in and made at least five arrests, allowing the Celebrity Eclipse to eventually dock and continue on its scheduled itinerary.

In a bold early morning demonstration on July 27, 2025, five activists from Extinction Rebellion (XR) were taken into custody while attempting to obstruct the docking of the 'Celebrity Eclipse' at the Amsterdam Passenger Terminal (PTA). The protest commenced around 4:30 a.m., with approximately 35 passionate activists rallying using a creative array of boats, canoes, and inflatable animals. Their goal was to impede the cruise ship's arrival, with about 30 demonstrators directly trying to halt the vessel's docking. The confrontation lasted roughly two hours, leading to the arrest of five individuals for various offenses, including assault, spraying the cruise ship, and failing to present identification when requested by authorities. While two of the detained activists have since been released, Extinction Rebellion is weighing the option of filing a police report, alleging that harbor boats ran over their inflatable vessels during the protest. As of the morning of July 27, police had not received any reports related to these claims and continue to investigate the events surrounding the protest. Notably, the 'Celebrity Eclipse' was connected to shore power supplied by PTA, while also operating on biofuel as part of its sustainability efforts.
