Cruise Line Spotlight:
Celebrity Cruises
Mission Viejo, May, 2008 -
Cruise Line Spotlight:
Celebrity Cruises
Passengers who
board a Celebrity Cruises ship are greeted with a glass of sparkling
wine or mimosa – the first of many little tastes of luxury that are a
signature of this cruise line.
Celebrity was
founded in 1989 to provide high-quality, premium cruises at a reasonable
price. The cruise line has fulfilled that promise through the years,
even through a change in ownership (Celebrity was acquired by Royal
Caribbean International in 1997) and a transition to larger ships.
Celebrity
emphasizes onboard dining as a significant part of a memorable cruise.
Its galleys are specially designed to prepare and serve food with
optimum freshness. Afternoon tea is a delightful experience on
Celebrity’s Millennium Class ships, which also feature popular
alternative restaurants. When Celebrity’s newest ship, the Solstice,
debuts this fall, it will have no less than 10 restaurants. Dining
options on the Solstice will range from a classic Tuscan
steakhouse to a contemporary Asian restaurant, along with a glamorous
main dining room.
Celebrity’s ships have some of the most spacious staterooms and suites
at sea, featuring amenities such as plush terrycloth robes. The new
Solstice Class of ships will further increase the line’s average
stateroom size, with standard staterooms measuring 215 square feet. To
ensure that these staterooms set a new standard for style and
functionality, Celebrity gathered insights and opinions from a panel of
women during the design phase. The panel helped Celebrity create
efficient floor plans, clear sightlines to sea views and elegantly
neutral color palettes, among other features.
Spaciousness is also a feature of Celebrity’s fantastic shipboard spas,
which are the largest at sea. The AquaSpa’s menu of pampering
treatments includes herbal steam baths, massages and aroma stone
therapy. On Millennium Class ships, the AquaSpa Café continues the
theme of wellness with light, refreshing breakfasts and lunches.
Celebrity
has achieved some notable “firsts” in the cruise industry, including the
first exterior glass elevators (providing panoramic ocean views) and the
first acupuncture treatments at sea. The cruise line will chalk up
another first when the Solstice debuts with the industry’s first
shipboard lawn: a half-acre of lush, green grass on the top deck. The
lawn will be the centerpiece of the Lawn Club, where guests can play
bocce ball or croquet, practice putting or even enjoy a picnic.
Celebrity
sails to Europe, New England, Bermuda, Alaska, the Panama Canal, South
America, Hawaii, the Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera. For those
seeking a bit of adventure, Celebrity’s 98-passenger Xpedition
sails to the Galapagos Islands. These voyages feature active shore
excursions, such as snorkeling and hiking, for excellent viewing of the
islands’ unusual wildlife.
While
Celebrity is a sophisticated cruise line geared toward adult tastes, the
“X Club” offers enjoyable, age-appropriate activities for children from
age three to 18.
