Celebrity Cruises ship Celebrity Millennium has just returned from a multi-million-dollar refurbishment, as part of the cruise line’s biggest fleet-wide modernisation ever.

With more than $500 million in luxurious upgrades planned across the fleet, Celebrity Millennium is the first of seven ships to be revitalised by 2023.

Enhancements include:

  • Completely redesigned staterooms and suites
  • The addition of The Retreat for suite guests, with an exclusive new sundeck and redesigned lounge
  • Stunningly reimagined restaurants, bars, and lounges
  • A redesigned spa and casino
  • New designer boutiques

“This is such an exciting moment for us as we finally get to share the new Celebrity Millennium with the world,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. “She has been transformed from top to bottom. I want to share my deepest gratitude with the teams who have worked so hard to make this happen, and I can’t wait for our guests to experience this revolution in travel for themselves.”

Celebrity Millennium’s bow-to-stern transformation began on January 2, 2019, at the Sembawang Shipyard in Singapore. There, it spent a total of 35 days in the skilled hands of thousands of engineers, architects, artisans, designers, contractors, shipyard employees, and the newbuild and Celebrity teams.

When redesigning the staterooms and suites, every detail was carefully thought through with guest comfort at the forefront. Celebrity collaborated with renowned international hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) to transform the staterooms on board and turned to famed designer Kelly Hoppen, MBE to refresh the suites and bring The Retreat to Celebrity Millennium.
