More About celebrity cruises

They'll put you at the center of attention, and spoil you from the moment you step onboard!

Aboard Celebrity, these moments include the quiet joy of discerning an Alexander Valley Cabernet from an Australian Shiraz with the help of our expert sommelier. Or the satisfaction of perfecting your culinary skills during our cooking workshop led by a top chef. Perhaps it's as simple as finding your bed turned down just the way you like it.

Whatever your fancy, we're here to make it come true. Celebrity's famous personal service with a taste of luxury will make you feel like the only guest on board.

Suite Class Amenities
Celebrity offers you six types of suites, each with it’s own unique design, décor, and style; however, they all share one thing in common—a definite air of luxury. Personal butlers make sure you never have to lift a finger while on vacation. Luxurious features and amenities elevate every moment to the height of pampering. And, special privileges such as reserved seating in the theater and priority seating in our specialty restaurants mean you are truly treated as VIPs.
Celebrity’s Suite Class will include even more benefits, raising the global standard in modern luxury vacations.

As a suite guest, you will enjoy:
• Luminae, an exclusive restaurant with menus not available anywhere else on board for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
• 24/7 access to a private lounge—Michael’s Club—featuring a personal concierge, live music, complimentary cocktails, and snacks
• “All-in” benefits with Premium Beverage Packages, unlimited complimentary Internet and specialty dining, and so much more.

Setting the Standard
Maybe it's the fact that you're greeted by name. Perhaps it's because you merely mentioned a favorite dessert and it appears without your asking. As you cool off with chilled towels upon your return from a shore excursion, you just know something is different aboard Celebrity.

With one staff member for every two guests, Celebrity's personal service anticipates your every need. In your stateroom, outside by the pool, in the AquaSpa®, anywhere at all, at anytime, our onboard family goes the extra mile to ensure every aspect of your cruise is just the way you want it.

Combining traditional European hospitality and warm engaging service, Celebrity's service is consistently top-rated by such experts as Condé Nast Traveler.  
 
Butler service in all suites
Celebrity offers European-style butler service to guests in all suites. Enjoy assistance with packing and unpacking. Savor a full breakfast, lunch and dinner in-suite, if you choose. Take afternoon tea and nibble evening hors d'oeuvres. Sip complimentary espresso & cappuccino from your veranda. Put the finishing touch on your look with our shoeshine service. Relax with your favorite board game - delivered on request. Service designed to take pampering to new heights by covering all the details.

Luggage Valet
Luggage Valet* is a convenient service that helps make your return travels as carefree as your cruise. On the final night of your cruise, you'll receive debarkation instructions, airline boarding passes, luggage tags and baggage claim checks. Simply place your tagged bags outside your stateroom door and we'll do the rest. Your luggage will be taken care of so the next time you see it will be at your final destination airport's baggage claim.
*Available in select departure ports only (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Seattle, Washington; San Diego, California; and Seward, Alaska) with select airlines only.

The Main Restaurant is the centerpiece of Celebrity's immersive and enriching range of culinary experiences. They're proud to present an unparalleled wealth of choices every evening.

The result is a creative take on healthy cuisine, featuring an eclectic blend of offerings that are both flavorful and good for you.

Café al Bacio & Gelateria
The warm atmosphere, comfortable furniture and the sweet scent of the Gelateria's freshly baked waffle cones create an instant emotional connection. Café al Bacio is a great place to relax, any time of day. Many guests like to stop by in the evening for one of the specialty dessert cocktails, and chat about a great meal that they had or a wonderful show they just enjoyed. There's always something to talk about at Café al Bacio.

The décor is distinctively elegant, like that of grand ocean liners past; the ambiance, warm and welcoming; five-course meals, prepared tableside, are not only delicious, they are finely orchestrated performances. This is Specialty Dining aboard Celebrity. From first bite to last, you will savor every moment of the experience.
