The newly modernized Celebrity Millennium is officially ready to revolutionize modern travel. The ship’s dramatic transformation — part of the THE CELEBRITY REVOLUTION — is just the beginning of Celebrity Cruises’ biggest fleet-wide modernization ever, with more than $500 million in luxurious upgrades taking the brand’s fleet to the Edge. On the all-new Celebrity Millennium, discerning world travelers will enjoy enhancements that 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

And all this is just the beginning.
“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, 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.
Revolutionary enhancements made to the staterooms and suites include:
- Refreshed suite design and finishes by Hoppen
- The Retreat Sundeck, an exclusive open-air hideaway for Suite Class guests designed by Hoppen and featuring a new hot tub, cabanas, loungers, artwork, and more

- Completely redesigned stateroom bathrooms with all-new finishes and fixtures

- A total of 30 new staterooms being added, including:
- 13 new AquaClass Staterooms
- Seven new Ocean View Staterooms
- 10 new Inside Staterooms
Celebrity is known to always be looking for new ways to open the world, not only through the places the brand visits, but through its globally inspired culinary experience, as well. The brand seized the “revolutionary” opportunity and reimagined many of the restaurants and lounges found on Celebrity Millennium, including:
