Celebrity Cruises: Ships
built 807 days ago
Celebrity hopes to tap growing demand for cruises to exotic destinations such as Antarctica and The Galapagos, as well as demand for cruises on a more intimate scale than those on today's mega-liners. The line says passengers on the Expeditions ships will find a more exclusive guest experience than on its bigger ships, including butler service.

Celebrity's Zenith joined the company in its earliest incarnation (the "vintage" ship left the fleet in 2007). The later addition of Century, Galaxy and Mercury reflected the first real evolution -- vessels that were sleeker and larger, and possessing intriguing design elements and impressive collections of contemporary art. And the last, of course, is the Millennium class -- Millennium, Infinity, Summit and Constellation, all weighing in at 91,000 tons and carrying up to 2,500 passengers. This newest group of ships carry through the company's art and culinary visions while ... achieving firsts in their own right, from all-glass elevator banks to spa cafes to new alternative restaurants that pay homage to history's great ocean liners.

Celebrity Cruises told the Ecology Department in December 2005 that it had not released any untreated waste in Washington waters that year. But in a September inspection of the ship, department investigators reviewing the Mercury's wastewater discharge records discovered that wasn't true.

Sit back and relax as Celebrity Cruise Line sails you around the world and takes care of everything for you. Spend a special anniversary exploring the Panama Canal and see Gatun Lake once you sail through the locks. In the spring and summer, head to the glaciers of Alaska or explore the historic sites of Europe. All year round you can visit the Caribbean, Mexico, or Bermuda, and let the warmth of the sun melt away the stresses of everyday life. Celebrity Cruise Line sails the Caribbean year round on one ship and five others spilt their time in Alaska, Bermuda, and the Mediterranean.

The news hit the same day Celebrity disclosed the Mercury illegally discharged wastewater off the coast of Washington State. It'll pay a $100,000 fine. Celebrity ... canceled the Dec. 10 sailing of Millennium due to its own propulsion system problem (the ship will head to dry-dock for repairs).

Beyond its general increase in enhancements, Celebrity has introduced Concierge Class. The gist of the program is that some premium oceanview staterooms have been transformed via a variety of extras, from service-related additions (priority luggage service) to plusher furnishings (luxurious bed coverings, some balconies with dining tables). Originally available only on Millennium-class ships, the innovation has proved so popular that it is now available on most of the ships in the fleet and is being extended to ever more staterooms.
