Celebrity Constellation

Celebrity star given the Solstice treatment

Following an ambitious 15-day drydock and revitalisation in May 2010, Celebrity Constellation now boasts some of the most popular venues found on the line's widely-heralded Solstice Class ships.

These include

The tantalising Tuscan Grille steakhouse, pictured

The vibrant creperie, Bistro on Five

A “cool” new ice-topped Martini Bar

The inviting Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria

Cellarmasters wine bar, complete with the state-of-the-art wine serving systems known as “Enomatics”, allowing guests to select and serve wines by the glass, at the touch of a button

More sumptuous suites, with all new furniture, flat-screen TVs, upholstery, bedding and carpeting

Restyled staterooms, with entirely new carpeting, flat-screen TVs, upholstery and bedding

New colour schemes, carpeting and upholstery reflective of the Solstice Class’s stylish, modern design in every public venue

Says Celebrity president Dan Hanrahan: “Our newly-Solsticized Celebrity Constellation is a significant outgrowth of our ‘Designed for you’ brand platform, built around our longtime commitment to identifying and designing what our guests want.

By adding Solstice Class features that we know our guests love to our already award-winning Millennium Class ships - with the impeccable service our spectacular crew delivers across the entire fleet - we’re confident we have a winning combination, expressly designed for discerning cruisers.”

Celebrity Constellation, the fourth and final Millennium-class superliner, joiniong the fleet in May 2002, is the first to be Solsticized. Celebrity Infinity and Celebrity Summit will be similarly refurbished in 2011, followed by Celebrity Millennium in 2012.

The revitalisation is only part of Celebrity Cruises’ Designed for you platform which, when combined with the brand’s Celebrity Life onboard experiences, more robust Captain’s Club loyalty programme, and other brand enhancements, represents a nearly $200-million investment.
