Celebrity Summit
Celebrity Summit: New style & venues after a dazzling revitalization
Snapshot
Celebrity Summit pairs Celebrity Cruises' widely recognized Millennium-class attributes with many of the most popular venues on the line's stylish, award-winning Solstice-class fleet. Summit's recent multimillion-dollar modernization efforts brought her up to brand standards. Some of the enhancements include new AquaClass staterooms, the addition of Qsine restaurant and Crush, a popular ice bar concept.
At 91,000 gross registered tons and a capacity for 2,034 passengers, this large ship has space to roam, but the ship is not so big that you will get lost getting back to your stateroom.
