"There is a moment on every Celebrity cruise when you realize that reality has taken a vacation. Exotic treatments beckon from the AquaSpa. Attentive waiters serve savory, award-winning cuisine. From the exclusive Cirque du Soleil showcase to the fun-filled XClub for kids, prepare for a true departure."
Since its launch in 1989, Celebrity Cruises has been recognized as an industry leader in providing personalized service, award-winning gourmet cuisine, exotic spa facilities, and an overall atmosphere of carefree elegance.
Celebrity's ten glamorous ships comprise one of the youngest and most innovative fleets among the major cruise lines. From the contemporary style of the Horizon and the Zenith and the high-tech comfort of the Century, Galaxy and Mercury to the latest generation ships -- Millennium, Infinity, Summit and Constellation -- each vessel is of incomparable beauty and features sumptuous amenities, impeccable service, and comfortable accommodations.
Celebrity Cruises has always been known for its award-winning cuisine. Dedicated to meeting the highest standards and utilizing distinctive methods of culinary preparation, Celebrity's gourmet delights are made from scratch, seasoned with fresh herbs, and prepared with only the finest produce and provisions.
In addition to the traditional main dining room, Celebrity offers guests a selection of casual and poolside venues, including the poolside grill, sushi bar, pizza and pasta bar, and the soup, salad, and sandwich bar. Guests can also enjoy a themed lunch buffet featuring Italian, Asian, and BBQ fare. Every afternoon, Celebrity's Gourmet Bites - delightful hors d'oeuvres including savory mini-beef Wellingtons and crisp tempura - are offered by servers throughout the ship. Celebrity's Millennium class of ships - the Constellation, Infinity, Millennium and Summitt - feature specialty restaurants with the tradition and grandeur of historic European ocean liners like the Normandie and the Ile de France.
Celebrity's fleet is home to an array of entertainment options ranging from the Celebrity Theatre's Broadway-style productions to the Celebrity Lecture Series, featuring lessons on personal finance, astrology, wine education, and a special guest lecturer series.
The Monte Carlo-style casino features blackjack, roulette, Caribbean stud poker, craps, and video and reel slot machines. Blackjack and slot machine tournaments are featured onboard every sailing.
Celebrity's specialty lounges are tailored to suit the needs of each guest and include a martini bar, sports bar, European discotheque, piano bar, and a sophisticated champagne and caviar bar.
Guests can purchase select designer jewelry and clothing, cosmetics and fragrances, and gift items for family and friends in Celebrity's sophisticated shopping promenades. Pablo Picasso, Alex Katz, and Jasper Johns are just some of the artists whose work is included in Celebrity's onboard museum-quality art collection.
Guests also can enjoy Celebrity's unique poolside recreation, including massages, fashion shows, wine tasting, sunset yoga classes, and the exceptional sorbet parade.
Celebrity's Family Cruising Program is available on all sailings. A warm and caring staff of highly trained counselors allows families to relax during their cruise vacation.
The four-tiered youth program is created for children from ages 3-17. Each morning, children and teens are given a program list of daily activities. Children's activities include games, parties, and the Shipmates Fun Factory. Teens can enjoy special parties, pools, and a disco. Celebrity's Science Journeys program allows kids to participate in hands-on educational voyages, interact with sea life, and explore the history of pirates, sunken treasures, and excavation.
All children under the age of 18 are eligible to participate in Celebrity's unlimited soft drinks program. Children are able to obtain soft drinks anywhere onboard the ship with the exception of the casinos, Michael's Club, Martini Bar, Champagne Bar, and discos after 10 PM. The cost is $5 per day per child, plus a 15 percent gratuity.
