Set your s ights on a breathtaking

new Celebr i ty Conste l lat ion®.

“Solst ic ized”

from stem to stern .

Just as our award-winning Celebrity Solstice® Class ships have created a new benchmark in cruise ship design, we are now infusingthat very essence into our most cherished class of ships — theCelebrity Millennium® Class — beginning with the “Solsticized” design revitalization of Celebrity Constellation, then subsequentlyacross the entire Millennium fleet.

Following an ambitious 15-day drydock and revitalization period, Celebrity Constellationnow boasts some of the most popular venues found on our widely heralded SolsticeClass ships. From the minute you enter the updated, magnificent Grand Foyer, oryou savor an exquisite steak in the sophisticated Tuscan Grille, or sip your favoritevodka at the ultra-cool, ice-topped Martini Bar — you'll feel the transformation.

Sumptuous new suites and staterooms offer stunning décor and flat-screen TVs.The state-of-the-art Enomatic wine bar allows you to select and serve — at thetouch of a button — your wine of choice by the glass. Sweet tooth? The stylishCafé al Bacio & Gelateria will delight you with their delicious treats.

"Our newly Solsticized Celebrity Constellation is a significant outgrowth of our 'Designed for you◊' brand platform, built around our longtime commitment to identifyingand designing what our guests want," said Celebrity's President & CEO Dan Hanrahan."By adding Solstice Class features that we know our guests love to our already award-winning Millennium Class ships — with the impeccable service our spectacular crewdelivers across the entire fleet — we're confident we have a winning combination, expressly designed for discerning cruisers."

Celebrity Constellation is the first of the line's four Millennium-class ships to be"Solsticized." Celebrity Infinity® and Celebrity Summit® will be similarly refurbishedin 2011, followed by Celebrity Millennium in 2012. The revitalization, when combinedwith our Celebrity Life◊ onboard experiences, more robust Captain's Club loyaltyprogram, and other brand enhancements — represents a nearly $200-million investment.To learn more, visit our Facebook fan page at Facebook.com/celebritycruises.
