The Suite Life: Celebrity Cruises elevates ‘The Retreat’ experience

With enhanced offerings and new personalised amenities, The Retreat delivers the most elevated experience at sea.

Celebrity Cruises® takes the suite life to new heights with new premium and personalised enhancements for The Retreat, providing the most elevated experience at sea. Offering more perks and amenities than ever before, The Retreat isn’t just a suite. It’s the most elevated experience at sea.

“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.”

Ensuring guests don’t have to lift a finger while on vacation, all suites at The Retreat come with a dedicated butler, who is now just a message away with Butler Chat, allowing for faster and easier one-on-one communication from anywhere on board or onshore. A dedicated shore excursions expert, The Retreat Destination Experience Specialist, is now available for guests of The Retreat to make the most of their time on shore, from planning destination-related activities, to ensuring smooth transfers when discovering Celebrity’s most sought-after ports of call. Additionally, guests can relax prior to excursions from the comfort of The Retreat Lounge and will enjoy suite-to-car butler escorts for Private Journeys excursions.

Culinary enhancements have been added to the offerings at Luminae, the exclusive suites-only restaurant, including new Daniel Boulud Signature dishes and a new rotating dinner and dessert menu. In-suite, guests can enjoy personalised daily delights, selected from the in-suite dining menu, as well as a complimentary stocked minibar.

Plus, guests staying in Royal Suites and above will always look their best thanks to complimentary laundry service including unlimited pressing.

  1. Breakfast, lunch and dinner from the comfort of their suite, selected from the in-suite dining menu, available daily.
  2. Award-Winning Wine Portfolio of red, white, and bubbly wines representing vineyards from around the world served complimentary in The Retreat Lounge, Luminae and in-suite.
  3. Express Priority Luggage Drop Off and Delivery on embarkation.

  7. Complimentary Unlimited Specialty Dining, including lunch and dinner.
  8. Ability to customise their in-suite minibar experience before sailing.
