Celebrity Cruises
What sets Celebrity apart from other vacation choices today is the cruise line's passionate dedication to providing guests with a cruise experience that exceeds expectations. This extraordinary performance level has become the definition of Celebrity Cruises, and has set the worldwide standard for today's expression of what first made cruising famous -- high quality, superior design, spacious accommodations, grand style, attentive service and exceptional cuisine.
The excellence of Celebrity's existing cruise product continues with the cruise line's Millennium-class ships, which embody even greater technical achievement and meaningful innovation, while retaining the distinctive style, sophistication and service elements that have become the hallmark of a Celebrity cruise.

Murano Restaurant onboard Century
Adorned with magnificent chandeliers handcrafted of radiant Murano glass, the Century's "Murano" specialty restaurant, named for the island of Murano near Venice, Italy, where glass-blowing has been a fine art and tradition since the 13th century, is reminiscent of the subtle charm and timeless beauty of one of the world's most romantic cities.
A hand-painted mural at the end of the 66-seat venue displays whimsical silhouettes depicting an enchanting tale of travel and adventure, while a large, round granite medallion composed of jewel-toned stone resembles the antique paving of medieval European cities and creates the feeling of an Italian piazza.
The menu, cuisine and service for Murano will follow the celebrated style of Celebrity's Millennium-class specialty restaurants, which presented the industry's first tableside cooking, carving and flambé and will feature delectable menu selections such as Saltimbocca Alla Romana and Steak Diane.
The RMS Olympic Restaurant aboard Millennium
Entering transatlantic passenger service in 1911, the RMS Olympic embodied the opulence and grandeur historic ocean liners are known for. Asked to be of service in World War I, RMS Olympic earned the name "Old Reliable" for her wartime heroics.
The RMS Olympic Restaurant transports guests back in time where they can marvel at original paneling from the RMS Olympic while they savor the rich, creamy flavor of Goat Cheese Soufflé with Tomato Coulis complemented by a glass of vintage sauvignon blanc.
Featuring tableside service, a demonstration kitchen and a dine-in wine cellar, the RMS Olympic Restaurant provides a classic taste of luxury, elegance and culinary delight.
SS United States Restaurant aboard Infinity
Establishing a new speed record for transatlantic crossing in 1952, the SS United States made its mark in history. Its namesake, the SS United States Restaurant, makes its mark upon Celebrity guests with its exquisite décor - featuring actual glass panels from the original ship - and tantalizing cuisine.
An entrée first served in the dining room onboard the original SS United States is prepared for twenty-first century guests. Roast Long Island Duckling a l'Orange Stuffed with Fruit is just one of a host of intriguing menu selections diners will savor in this Specialty Restaurant.
SS Normandie Restaurant aboard Summit
Furnished with outstanding art deco fittings by the era's best-known French designers, the SS Normandie was considered the ultimate ocean liner of her day. Winning the prestigious Blue Riband award for speed in North Atlantic crossings five times over, she was the first ocean liner to exceed 1,000 feet.
Summit's Normandie Restaurant provides guests with an elegant, alternative dining experience with menu selections inspired by the Normandy region of France, such as Flambéed Scampi flamed in Armagnac accompanied by a 1999 Chassagne Montrachet Chardonnay.
Ocean Liners Restaurant aboard Constellation
Heralding the inception of Art Deco design into shipbuilding, the Ile de France launched a new era in 1927. Her design combining European tradition and modern décor is reflected in the Ocean Liners Restaurant. Showcasing a number of rare artifacts, this unique restaurant will whisk you back in time to an age of post-war jubilance and glamorous innovation.
Dining in the style of the great transatlantic passenger ships of the mid-twentieth century, guests enjoy such delicacies as Rack of Lamb en Croute complemented by a vintage burgundy.
