According to a release, cruise brand Celebrity Cruises started her maiden Asian season with Celebrity Millennium December 9, 2012.

The 91,000-gross registered ton ship has arrived in Singapore for the first time, for two overnights while ending her 17-night cruise from Sydney and starting her
first cruise in Singapore on 9 December.

An official ceremony was held onboard the ship to welcome her arrival, with plaque exchanges between Ms Neeta Lachmandas, Assistant Chief Executive (Business Development Group) of Singapore Tourism Board, Mr Melvin Vu, CEO of SATS-Creuers Cruise Services and Captain Zisis S Taramas of Celebrity Millennium.
