Celebrity Cruises to receive exciting modern luxury refresh

Building on the multi-million dollar investment in previously "Solsticizing" its Millennium Class ships, now Celebrity Cruises is making even more upgrades to two of their ships, with a series of exciting refreshes that will elevate the modern luxury experience onboard.

As the first cruise line to offer a spacious lawn of real, growing grass on the top decks of its ships, Celebrity will expand its lineup of modern, luxurious outdoor spaces this month, when Celebrity Infinity receives a new "Rooftop Terrace" venue - the first in Celebrity Cruises fleet - during a scheduled drydock for this month. Featuring chic, comfortable furniture and unique artistic elements, a large, outdoor film screen and stereo surround sound will highlight this space, which fuses movies with unique food experiences. The drydock work also will broaden Celebrity's commitment to its Suite Class, with significant renovations to the ships' Penthouse and Royal Suites, and will include conversion of the ship's specialty restaurant to one of Celebrity's signature venues, Tuscan Grille. Celebrity Summit will follow with a similar scheduled drydock in March of 2016.

With modular furniture, a metal "garden-like" design, and cabanas, the new, multi-functional Rooftop Terrace will offer guests a relaxing, open space during the day. By night, the space will be illuminated by unique decorative lighting, and a large screen and soundscape will showcase movies and other entertainment. Rounding out the unique outdoor experience will be a variety of specially curated food options available for purchase and presented in unique serving vessels, inspired by the entertainment content, the destination, or the occasion. The Rooftop Terrace will be on the 12th deck of the ship, at the aft end. The Rooftop Terrace will officially open on December 5, 2015.

As part of the $16 million refresh plan, Celebrity Cruises is investing heavily in its Suite Class experience on Celebrity Infinity and Celebrity Summit, as every Penthouse and Royal Suite will receive new glimmering fixtures, marble surfaces, and comfortable seats in the bathrooms. The rest of the suite will get refreshing touches like new carpeting, drapes, and bed linens.

Conversion of Celebrity Infinity's S.S. United States restaurant to Tuscan Grille, Celebrity's popular, Mediterranean-inspired steakhouse that debuted on its Solstice Class ships, will include complete refinishing of the space and the introduction of a refreshed menu designed to tantalize, including fresh pasta made in-house; an Italian cocktail menu, a first for Tuscan Grille; a wine list focused on the wine-growing regions of Italy; and new foods like artisanal salumi and cheeses; crispy crab arancini with lemon pepper aioli; grilled branzino with spinach and olive oil; swordfish with Castelvetrano olives, fennel and white wine; and oven-roasted USDA Prime dry-aged steak.

On Celebrity Infinity, the maritime artifacts in the S.S. United States will be featured in a special display area in the casino's entry vestibule. Items include charts, maps, an original place setting, a ship model, and more. On Celebrity Summit's Normandie also features numerous artifacts that will be preserved and displayed in a special area onboard. These include photographs, artistic works, a ship model, and more.
