Celebrity Cruises has announced that its Millennium Class ship, Constellation, or known by its fans as “Connie”, will be refurbished. The ship is scheduled to enter dry-dock on Friday 12 May 2017, and will emerge two weeks later on Friday 26 May 2017.

The refurbishment comes just in time for an extraordinary summer of sailings to some of the most stunning destinations in the Mediterranean, the Arabian Coast, India, and the Far East.

Commenting on the refurbishment, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises, said: “We are continually pushing the boundaries of the cruise experience, so we are adding some incredible new features to Celebrity Constellation.”

Features include:

For the foodies: Introducing the newest dining venue in the Celebrity Cruises fleet – Top Deck Burger Bar. Located up on the Pool Deck in the space formally known as Mast Grill, guests can enjoy gourmet burgers that will have their taste buds begging for more. From the mouth-watering Celebrity Signature Burger to the BYOB (Build Your Own Burger), there is an extensive menu of toppings and condiments.

Guests sailing onboard Celebrity Constellation can expect to embark on a gastronomic adventure with the addition of the ever-popular restaurant Qsine. Qsine will replace Ocean Liners Restaurant, following a complete renovation of the space.
The popular Rooftop Terrace will also be added to Celebrity Constellation. Intimate and inviting, the relaxing space features chic, cosy furniture, surprising artistic elements, and a large outdoor soundscape and movie screen. The Rooftop Terrace is also home to the iconic gastronomic adventure A Taste of Film – a unique fusion of film and food.

New Technology: Celebrity is bringing updated technology to staterooms with the addition of new RFID door locks. Guests can now tap their SeaPass card against their door lock, which will automatically unlock for them.

Finishing touches and special enhancements: Every Penthouse and Royal Suite will be updated a refresh to its powder room, including porcelain tiled floors, new fixtures, marble surfaces, and cosy seats. The rest of the suite areas will have refreshed furnishings like plush furniture, new artwork, luxurious carpeting, drapes, and bed linens – promising guests the most comfortable, relaxing modern luxury experience.

Guests can also look forward to discovering some of the top names in fashion and merchandise in the completely revitalised shopping area. After guests have refreshed their wardrobe, they can visit The Studio, Celebrity Cruises’ high-end portrait studio which is ideal for capturing memorable holiday photos.
