Celebrity
Cruises is redefining luxury with newly enhanced offerings for The
Retreat, an exclusive onboard area that provides the loftiest cruising
experience available anywhere. The Retreat is more than just a suite—it encapsulates
the pinnacle of at-sea opulence with a host of new perks and amenities designed
to even further elevate the guest experience.
"At The
Retreat, the world really does revolve around our guests," said Laura
Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises. "We collected extensive
feedback from past guests, loyalty members and our trade partners to inform how
The Retreat experiences are being reimagined to continue exceeding vacation
expectations by delivering on the amenities and experiences Celebrity Cruises
guests value most."
A hallmark of The
Retreat experience is the dedicated butler service assigned to all suite
guests. Now, with the introduction of Butler Chat, guests can communicate
directly with their butler via messaging, ensuring quick and convenient service
from anywhere on the ship, or even onshore.
Additionally, a
Retreat Destination Experience Specialist is now on hand to help guests of The
Retreat select and plan the details of their shore excursions, coordinate
in-destination transfers and ensure they make the most of their time at each enviable
port of call.

The Retreat’s premier
level of comfort comfort further extends to pre-excursion relaxation in The
Retreat Lounge, complete with suite-to-car butler escorts for Private Journeys
excursions.
The culinary
experience at Luminae, the exclusive suites-only restaurant, has also been
upgraded with new signature dishes by renowned chef Daniel Boulud, and a
rotating dinner and dessert menu. In-suite dining options have also received a
boost, offering personalized daily delights and a complimentary stocked
minibar, ensuring guests can enjoy top-tier cuisine from the ultimate comfort
of their private suite.

are also guaranteed prime seating in The Theatre, and those staying in Royal
