MIAMI, July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Once again,
Celebrity Cruises is set to transform the industry with the
unveiling of THE CELEBRITY REVOLUTION, a more than
$500-million reimagining of the fleet
in partnership with more than 500 leading architects, designers,
and engineers designed to bring the rest of the brand's
award-winning fleet to the Edge.
"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."
THE SUITE LIFE JUST GOT SWEETER
Transforming the
brand's award-winning ships gave Celebrity the opportunity to bring
its already world-class suite experience on board Celebrity
Millennium, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity
Infinity, and Celebrity Summit to lavish new heights
with the help of visionary designer Kelly
Hoppen, MBE. She will also infuse the newly added Reflection
Suite and Signature Suites (found today on Celebrity
Reflection) to Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity
Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, and Celebrity
Silhouette, with her signature style – a subtle, coordinated
fusion of East meets West, with clean lines, neutral tones, and a
warm, inviting opulence.
"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."
With Celebrity Edge, the brand introduced an exclusive
new sanctuary for all Suite Class guests called The Retreat. And
now, Celebrity is bringing its most luxurious experiences
fleet-wide. Every ship will offer The Retreat Sundeck and The
Retreat Lounge, both strikingly designed by Hoppen. In imagining
The Retreat Sundeck, she has created a chic, open-air hideaway with
the feel of a high-end resort, where guests can unwind on plush
loungers, sip tantalizing cocktails, and savor refreshing treats.
At The Retreat Lounge (formerly Michael's Club), Hoppen has
designed a warm and sophisticated atmosphere.
"REVOLUTIONARY" ACCOMMODATIONS
When redesigning the
accommodations, every detail was carefully thought through with
guest comfort at the front of mind. Celebrity collaborated with
renowned international hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner
Associates (HBA) to transform the staterooms on board Celebrity
Millennium, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity
Infinity, and Celebrity Summit, plus the staterooms and
many of the suites on board Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity
Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Silhouette
and Celebrity Reflection into a statement about modern
luxury.
"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 a fresh, chic design, rivaling the
world's best boutique hotels. They will also be fitted with
Celebrity's eXhale bedding featuring exclusive luxurious cashmere
mattresses, RFID locks, pervasive Xcelerate and Bluetooth
capabilities.
"REVOLUTIONARY" CULINARY
Celebrity is always looking
for new ways to open the world, not only through the places the
brand visits, but through globally inspired culinary experience, as
well.
Guest-favorite restaurant Qsine will be added across the fleet
and completely renovated, now offering the brand's virtual Le Petit
Chef experience, created by the world-famous artists of
Skullmapping and presented by TableMation exclusively for
Celebrity. Oceanview Café will be redesigned with an open, airy,
marketplace-inspired design offering guests island after island of
international delicacies, while the already-stunning Main
Restaurants will undergo a beautiful redesign, with new textures
and new finishes added throughout.
EVERY DETAIL IS BEING TAKEN TO THE EDGE
Even more groundbreaking innovations are on the horizon with
THE CELEBRITY REVOLUTION, including:
- Expansion of the new SEA Thermal Suite – first introduced on
Celebrity Edge – to offer an ahh-inspiring array of
therapeutic spa experiences at sea
- Exclusive new shopping experiences featuring sought-after
brands and designers, such as Shinola, John
Hardy, and Hublot, plus state-of-the-art digital photo
galleries that make browsing vacation memories a snap
- Elevated bars and lounges, including the newly reimagined
Passport Bar and an expansion of Celebrity's popular Gastrobar
concept, serving more than 40 craft beers, creative cocktails, and
gourmet comfort food
- More exciting upgrades to public venues all throughout each
ship, including The Hideaway, Team Earth, The Library, and
more
The first "revolutionary" revitalization will take place in
2019, beginning with the iconic Celebrity Millennium, and
will continue across the fleet through 2023. To learn more about
