Frequently Asked Questions
The Maltese registry and Celebrity both give 91,011 gross tons, over 294 metres in length, 32.2 metres in beam, 12 decks and 1,079 staterooms. Several specialist sites still show 90,940 or 90,963 tons, figures inherited from tonnage measurements taken before the 2011 and 2019 cabin additions. In volume that is roughly half a Celebrity Beyond. Crew numbers hover around 997, giving one crew member for a little over two guests.
Because the two numbers measure different things. The figure 2,158 is double occupancy, two people per stateroom, and it is the basis for onboard density. The 2,218 figure is what Celebrity publishes on its own ship page, and Wikipedia describes the equivalent number on the identical Summit as an all-berths count. CruiseMapper pushes the theoretical maximum to 2,590 by counting sofa beds and pullmans. To judge buffet queues, use 2,158 outside school holidays and more in summer.
Three things. She is the first of the series, in service since 22 June 2000, which makes her the oldest ocean ship in the fleet. She is the only one of the four deployed in Asia, with Tokyo as her summer 2026 home port, while the other three split the Mediterranean, Alaska and the Caribbean. She also opened the Celebrity Revolution programme, returning to service in February 2019 after a Singapore drydock, which leaves her and Summit as the best-renovated hulls in the class.
Japan, on 12- and 13-night round trips from Tokyo through the summer of 2026, then a Tokyo-Incheon crossing on 23 September and Incheon-Yokohama on 5 October. From 17 October Yokohama becomes the departure port, before the ship works south to Hong Kong on 29 October, Singapore on 12 November and Benoa, Bali, on 26 November. Japanese calls include Kobe, Aomori and Kagoshima, and some dates line up with the Gion and Nebuta festivals.
She alternates between Benoa and Singapore from January to 6 February 2027, runs a 15-day crossing back to Yokohama on 15 February, then resumes Yokohama and Tokyo departures from 2 March for the whole Japanese season. That changes the air ticket completely: Air Canada serves Narita nonstop from Montreal, while Benoa and Singapore require a connection and a full travel day. Anyone choosing between January and July should know the Bali season costs two flights instead of one. In 2028 the ship leaves Japan for Alaska and Solstice takes over.
For Japanese itineraries an ocean view offers the best comfort-to-value balance, since repositioning happens overnight and days are spent ashore. AquaClass, 107 staterooms of 18 m², includes Blu and the thermal suite, which earns its place across 12 and 13 nights. Concierge Class adds service and attention rather than floor area. Above that sit 32 Sky Suites at 23 m², 8 Celebrity Suites at 43 m², 8 Royal Suites at 50 m² and 2 Penthouse Suites at 133 m², all opening Luminae and The Retreat Lounge.
The Metropolitan Restaurant is the main dining room, on two aft levels. Extra-fee tables are Tuscan Grille and Le Petit Chef at Qsine, the latter completely rebuilt in 2019. Included at no charge: the Oceanview Café, Café al Bacio for coffee and pastry, the pool grill, Blu for AquaClass and Luminae for suites. Bars include the Martini Bar, Passport Bar, the Gastrobar with its craft beer list, the aft Sunset Bar, the Rendezvous Lounge and the deck 11 Sky Lounge, plus the Rooftop Terrace and the enclosed Solarium.
Stateroom condition first: despite 2019, guests in 2025 and 2026 report plumbing faults, narrow bathrooms and worn surfaces, and one July 2026 review goes as far as calling for the ship's retirement. Then the activity programme, which several passengers find thin, with a large share of paid or retail-driven offerings. Third, consistency in the Metropolitan Restaurant, described as uneven from one evening to the next. Service and the Oceanview Café, by contrast, come up repeatedly in the praise.
The stateroom, meals in the Metropolitan Restaurant and Oceanview Café, drip coffee, tea, water and juice by the glass, theatre shows, the fitness centre and twice-daily stateroom service. The All Included fare adds the Classic drinks package and Basic Wi-Fi. Charged separately: Tuscan Grille, Le Petit Chef at Qsine, shore excursions to Kyoto or Nikkō, the spa, laundry and daily gratuities. Blu is included for AquaClass guests and Luminae for suites, at no extra cost.
No, not since October 2023, when Celebrity removed daily gratuities from the All Included fare. They post to the onboard account per person per night, at a rate that rises with stateroom category, higher in a Sky Suite than in an inside cabin. You can prepay before departure, which locks the rate in. A service charge also applies automatically to every drink bought individually, at the Martini Bar as at Café al Bacio.
It depends on how many sea days you have. On the 12- and 13-night Tokyo round trips the calls are frequent and a good share of meals and drinks happen ashore, which weakens the case. The Classic package bundled into the All Included fare covers beer, wine by the glass, standard cocktails and Café al Bacio coffees up to a value threshold; the Premium package raises that threshold and opens the better Japanese whiskies and sakes at the Martini Bar. For a couple who take a specialty coffee in the morning and two drinks at night, Classic is plenty.
The ship runs on Starlink satellite service, adopted across Royal Caribbean Group, which makes the connection genuinely usable for messaging and browsing, including in the Sea of Japan. Basic Wi-Fi is bundled into the All Included fare and covers browsing, email and messaging apps, though not video streaming. The Premium plan costs extra and is mainly for video calls. Watch mobile roaming charges in Japanese and Korean waters: airplane mode remains the rule.
For younger children with parents alongside, yes; for teenagers looking for action, no. Camp at Sea runs Shipmates for ages 3 to 5, Cadets for 6 to 9 and Captains for 10 to 12, with free sessions on sea days and port days and paid late-night care from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The ship has no waterpark and no ropes course, one main pool and an adults-only Solarium. The 12- and 13-night Japanese itineraries include several sea days, which stretch the day for a child who needs entertaining.
The programme is identical fleetwide and is earned through nights and stateroom category, from Preview through Classic, Select, Elite, Elite Plus and Zenith. In June 2026 Celebrity added intermediate milestones for Elite Plus members at 1,500 and 2,250 points, plus two new tiers, Double Zenith at 6,000 points and Triple Zenith at 9,000. On Millennium the benefits show up mainly at the Rendezvous Lounge during loyalty gatherings, in Premium Wi-Fi minutes and in discounts at Tuscan Grille. Nights sailed with Royal Caribbean and Silversea count too.
Less than a small expedition ship, more than a Celebrity Beyond: at 91,011 gross tons she sits at the lower end of modern ocean-going hulls. The stabilisers work well at cruising speed, but Pacific swell between Tokyo and Kagoshima can be felt, especially during the late-summer typhoon season. Choose a midship stateroom on a lower deck, decks 6 or 7 rather than deck 11. Motion sickness is easier to prevent than to treat, so start any medication the day before you board.
