Celebrity Cruises "New" Century

Celebrity Cruises Century emerged May 30, 2006 from a $55-million makeover. The revitalization of Century is the line's most extensive refurbishment and incorporates many of Celebrity's most popular Millennium-class attributes. 314 new verandas have been added to the Celebrity Century, along with 14 new suites, a new specialty restaurant, and an expanded AquaSpa.

The new "Murano" specialty restaurant in the center of the ship features handcrafted Murano glass chandeliers. Celebrity Cruises' culinary and wine consultant Master Chef Michel Roux, designed the menu for Murano. Among the many other dining options is a Sushi Bar; Celebrity's first designed specifically to reflect the popular cuisine.

Celebrity Cruise' award-winning AquaSpa onboard Century has 10 new sea-view treatment rooms; new locker rooms with lounge seating; a new beauty salon with enhanced manicure and pedicure bars; a new Persian Garden with Turkish steam room; three tropical showers; infrared and Finnish saunas; and a new Spa Cafe serving light, healthy cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Century has the first "ice bar" at sea within its Martini Bar, featuring a liquid wall that freezes and a bar counter that freezes into ice-cold stone. Teen travelers have a lounge all their own - Century's new "X-Treme" teen lounge and video arcade. The dedicated space includes a dance floor, video arcade, juice bar, jukebox, and karaoke, along with computers offering Internet access.

Every ocean-view and inside stateroom onboard Century is now equipped with new flat-screen TVs, wireless Internet access, new carpet, textiles, windows, lighting fixtures, and art. The bathrooms have new vanities and enhanced lighting. Century is the first ship in the Celebrity Cruise fleet with the new bedding. It includes new premium mattresses, Egyptian cotton linens, duvets, Euro pillows, colorful bed throws and pillow shams.
