Celebrity Cruises has unveiled a $500 million-dollar initiative that will reimagine its entire fleet.
Dubbed THE CELEBRITY REVOLUTION, it taps into a partnership with 500 leading architects, designers, and engineers.
“We launched THE CELEBRITY REVOLUTION to do one thing: transform the way our guests experience the world. It began with the introduction of the industry-changing Celebrity Edge, and continued with the stunning Celebrity Flora,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. “Our dedication to improving the way guests experience the world knows no bounds. We are taking our entire award-winning fleet to the edge and giving people the vacation they truly deserve.”
Designer Kelly Hoppen, MBE will transform the suites aboard Celebrity Millennium, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Infinity, and Celebrity Summit. She will also add the Reflection Suite and Signature Suites from Celebrity Reflection to Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, and Celebrity Silhouette.
“This was a new and exciting challenge to recreate something stylish and luxurious yet totally different from the accommodations that I have designed for Celebrity Edge,” said Hoppen. “I wanted to invoke a feeling of timeless luxury that welcomed guests into their own haven. Your bedroom is where you sleep and where you wake, two of the most important times of day, especially when you are on vacation. It was important to create space, harmony and luxury within a home away from home setting and I think we achieved this balance perfectly.”
Celebrity Edge introduced The Retreat, an exclusive sanctuary for all Suite Class guests. Every ship will now offer The Retreat Sundeck and The Retreat Lounge, both designed by Hoppen.
To transform staterooms, Celebrity collaborated with international hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates. The firm will renovate accommodations aboard Celebrity Millennium, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Infinity, and Celebrity Summit. It will also work on the staterooms and many of the suites on Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Silhouette and Celebrity Reflection.
“Every detail of our staterooms has been elevated, every comfort refined,” said Brian Abel, senior vice president, hotel operations, Celebrity Cruises. “By the end of THE CELEBRITY REVOLUTION the entire fleet will have the same quality, design essence, and consistency of modern luxury, bringing our fleet to the edge.”
All staterooms will feature Celebrity’s eXhale bedding, cashmere mattresses, RFID locks and Bluetooth capabilities.
On the culinary front, the popular Qsine restaurant will be added across the fleet in an upgraded form. It will now offer the line’s virtual Le Petit Chef experience. Additionally, the Oceanview Café will be redesigned with an open marketplace-inspired design. The ship’s Main Restaurants will also undergo a redesign.
Additional enhancements from THE CELEBRITY REVOLUTION include expanded SEA Thermal Suites and enhanced spa offerings. New shopping experiences, expanded bar and lounge concepts and upgrades to public venues are also in the works.
The revitalizations begin in 2019 and continue through 2023.
