Celebrity Cruises completes major fleet refurbishment
Celebrity Cruises’ Millennium completed its ‘Solsticizing’ this week when the ship emerged fresh from the Port of Miami on Saturday.
The ship is the fourth and final of Celebrity’s fleet to take part in the £90m Solsticizing process, to bring the ships in line with its fellow vessels. Changes to Millennium were completed within a three-week drydock and all four ships were completed inside of two years.
“Solsticizing has been such an exciting initiative for us – and more importantly, for our guests, as indicated by their response to each of our refurbished ships,” said Dan Hanrahan, president and CEO of Celebrity. “Our Millennium Class ships already had a large and loyal following, having repeatedly ranked at the top of many of the world’s most prestigious consumer polls, and their original style, design and ambience served as significant inspiration for the design of the Solstice Class. So now, we’re bringing it full circle, incorporating on the entire Millennium Class what our guests enjoy most on the Solstice Class. It ties our whole fleet together in a very powerful way”.
One of the many Solstice Class features added to Millennium is Celebrity’s AquaClass category of staterooms, with spacious, private verandas; exclusive access to the specialty restaurant, Blu; complimentary access to the Persian Garden and Relaxation Room in the AquaSpa; a personal Spa Concierge to book exotic AquaSpa treatments; use of Frette bathrobes and slippers; enhanced personal care products, and plentiful in-room amenities, including Hansgrohe shower heads, fog-free bathroom mirrors, aromatherapy selections, and daily deliveries of complimentary bottled water and teas.
Another Celebrity exclusive – “Qsine,” the novel restaurant introduced on Celebrity Eclipse in 2010 and Celebrity Silhouette this year – is also now on Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Summit and Celebrity Millennium as a result of each ship’s revitalisation.
