Celebrity Entertains 25,000 at Shipyard

With Celebrity Cruises’ sleek Celebrity Silhouette serving as a dramatic backdrop, a host of celebrity musicians entertained more than 25,000 people at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.  During the internationally acclaimed Papenburg Music Festival, concert-goers enjoyed performances by Juli, Ich + Ich, Stanfour and more, in addition to the headline act: a performance by The Scorpions, currently on their farewell tour. Meanwhile, Celebrity Silhouette is just about to begin her “tour”: The ship will depart the shipyard later this week and traverse the River Ems in an exhilarating event known as the “Conveyance,” and will be named in formal ceremonies in Hamburg July 21, prior to entering service July 23.
