Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Equinox, the largest cruise ship to sail to Israel, dock for the first time in Israeli Mediterranean ports on August 25.

Equinox is also going green by utilizing 216 solar panels throughout the ship. The energy collected then becomes part of the ship’s power grid - enough to operate 7,000 of the vessel’s 25,000 energy efficient LED lights.
