Celebrity Cruises has distinguished itself by setting
extraordinary standards in the cruise industry and introducing innovative enhancements to
the cruise vacation experience. Celebrity began this venture in 1990 by
bringing the culinary genius of master chef Michel Roux on board to design the ship's
galleys, develop the menus and train the staff. Celebrity's award winning menus
revolutionized cruise cuisine and set the industry standard. Gourmet pizzas are
offered as part of Celebrity's complementary room service and "Gourmet Bites"
includes antipasto and roast garlic lemon chicken and are available from midnight to 1:00
a.m. twice a week.
| In addition to its signature cuisine, Celebrity pleasantly pleases the
guests' eye as well. The Celebrity Cruises art collection is comprised of more than
1,200 original museum-worthy works of art created by such artists as Picasso, Robert
Rauschenberg, Alex Katz and Toni Oursler. Cigar clubs, Champagne and Caviar Bars,
Martini Bars, Cova Cafes and hi-tech entertainment are just a few examples of the trend
setting concepts Celebrity is responsible for in the cruise industry. |

Celebrity's AquaSpa® facilities feature
some of the most comprehensive and sophisticated spa beauty, health and fitness programs
anywhere. Many of the treatments and special spa facilities are drawn from Middle
Eastern, Asian and European spa practices that use sea and fresh mineral water to detoxify
and refresh both mind and body. AquaSpa® packages
can be booked in advance. AquaSpa®, considered by
critics to be a world class experience, certainly is one. |
| Continuing its tradition of personal 5-star service, Celebrity announced
in-room full-body massage service as part of the Suite Indulgence program. "Recognizing
vacationers' high expectations for personal service, we added an amenity to the suites
that would combine the premium spa experience with the ultimate pampering
experience," said richard Sasso, Celebrity Cruises' president. Guests
staying in a Celebrity Suite also enjoy other amenities such as welcome champagne,
personalize stationery and terry-cloth robes.
