AquaClass also includes exclusive spa and dining options to make your cruise even more luxurious whilst Suite Class has additional benefits.
Update from Celebrity
A favorite of many vacationers, Celebrity Millennium was “Solsticized” in May of 2012 and emerged with many award-winning Solstice Class features. She’s been renewed with spa-inspired AquaClass staterooms, the AquaClass signature restaurant, Blu, and the addition of verandas to her chic Celebrity Suites.
In 2016, this brilliant star of the Millennium Class will shine even brighter, as Millennium receives her grand makeover. The Penthouse and Royal suites will get glimmering new marble, fixtures, seating, and more. A new Rooftop Terrace will give you a chic new way to experience the great outdoors, with creative cocktails, favorite snacks, and movies alfresco. If you hunger for an Italian steak house, they will give you the fresh pastas and dry-aged steaks of Tuscan Grille (we loved this onboard the Solstice!). We can’t think of a better way to experience the exotic beauty of Asia than aboard Celebrity Millennium. Out of the ordinary? Definitely. Fit for a queen we say!
