Celebrity Cruises is designed for discerning cruisers, with modern, sophisticated environments, impeccable service, enriching and inspiring onboard programs, and world-class cuisine.
It was founded in 1989 with the objective of fulfilling the travel industry's need for a high-quality, premium cruise product at an intelligent price. The company was determined to set a new, worldwide standard for cruising, and to create a distinctive expression of superior quality, grand style, attentive service, spacious accommodations, and exceptional cuisine.
 Along with the launch of the Century-class fleet in 1995, Celebrity created another industry first: a luxurious spa experience within the environment of a cruise ship, with the introduction of the AquaSpa® by Elemis.
In 1997, Celebrity Cruises merged with Royal Caribbean International, bringing together two extraordinary cruise brands within one corporation, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Today, RCCL is parent company to five brands, including: Azamara Club Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Crosiere de France, Pullmantur, and Royal Caribbean International.
In the year 2000, Celebrity launched the appropriately named Celebrity Millennium featuring the industry's first application of gas turbine engines, which reduce exhaust emissions by up to 95 percent over traditional propulsion systems. Celebrity Millennium and her sister ships - Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Summit, and Celebrity Constellation - nearly doubled the line's capacity in just two years (2000-2002).
 In 2004, the Celebrity Xpedition was introduced. This luxurious mega yacht offers unique itineraries, including cruises to the enchanting Galapagos Islands, in a very unique and exclusive setting.
In 2008, the stylish Celebrity Solstice was launched. With a guest capacity of 2850 and an award winning design, the Celebrity Solstice continued the tradition of style and innovation with additional industry firsts, including among them the magnificent Lawn Club. Solstice was the first of a class of five stunning sister ships, the last of which, Celebrity Reflection, is expected to be launched in 2012.
 The company is ever-evolving, and at the heart of every innovation is our greatest focus: the best vacation experience for the discerning cruiser. It is the ultimate in premium cruising, and sails in Alaska, Bermuda, California, Canada/New England, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, the Pacific Coast, Panama Canal, South America, and year-round in the Galapagos Islands. Celebrity also offers immersive cruisetour experiences in Alaska, Canada, Europe and South America. Celebrity’s mega-series of honors include being named the top mega-ship line in Condé Nast Traveler’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards (November 2009).
