Celebrity Cruises was the brainchild of Harry H. Haralambopoulos and brothers John and Michael Chandris, the London-based Greek cargo ship owners and operators of the former Chandris Lines and Chandris Cruises. In 1989, as the cruise industry was gaining momentum, they determined to create a newer, better cruise line with new ships, larger and more standard cabins and focusing more on food and service in the European tradition.
