Celebrity Cruises: Indulge in The Retreat®

02-Sep-2025

Featured Destinations

Sailing to more than 300 destinations across all seven continents, Celebrity Cruises is celebrated for blending modern luxury with intuitive service and innovative design. At the heart of this experience is The Retreat®, an exclusive haven for suite guests that redefines what it means to travel in style. From spacious, elegantly appointed accommodation and world-class dining to private lounges, sundecks and personalised service, The Retreat® elevates every moment.

The Art of Suite Living

The Retreat is an all-suite sanctuary designed for the discerning traveller. Each suite offers spacious living areas, expansive verandas and indulgent cashmere mattresses, meticulously crafted with the smallest details in mind to swiftly become a home away from home.

For those seeking the pinnacle of luxury, the Iconic Suite delivers. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms and over 2,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, it commands a prime position above the bridge for panoramic ocean views. Whether from the private terrace, complete with hot tub and double daybed, or through floor-to-ceiling windows, the vistas are unforgettable.

Guests craving a truly distinctive stay will find it in the Edge Villa. As the only two-story residences in the fleet, these remarkable retreats offer generous living space and a private terrace featuring a three-foot-deep plunge pool. Inside, the opulent primary bathroom with whirlpool tub adds yet another layer of indulgence. The Penthouse Suite is a world unto itself. With a grand primary bedroom and bathroom, a stylish dining area and additional guest facilities, space is never in short supply. Step outside to the private terrace and unwind in the hot tub while dedicated butler service ensures every moment is effortless.

A Suite for Every Guest

Beyond the showpiece accommodations, The Retreat® offers a collection of suites designed to cater to a variety of tastes and styles while retaining the same signature blend of space, elegance and thoughtful detail.

The Royal Suite is perfect for those who wish to make the most of their time onboard. A spacious living area and huge windows create a light-filled sanctuary with uninterrupted views of the sea. Meanwhile, guests who dream of a touch of stardom, the Celebrity Suite awaits. A private primary bedroom with king-size bed and a large living room opening onto the private veranda blends comfort and glamour with sweeping ocean panoramas.

Wellness seekers will find their haven in the Aqua Sky suite. Spa-inspired details such as the eco-friendly bath amenities, yoga mats and in-room fitness amenities complement the rejuvenating AquaClass® experience, enhanced by the refined service of The Retreat®. Even the more modest Sky Suite offers a taste of elevated living. Combining intimacy and indulgence to create a perfectly balanced retreat, board to discover expansive views, outdoor space and signature eXhale® bedding.

Exclusive Flavours

Life at The Retreat® extends far beyond the suite, with exclusive spaces and culinary experiences designed to indulge every sense. From private restaurants to world-class wine collections, every detail elevates this journey. With unlimited access to the ship’s Speciality Dining venues, guests are offered the freedom to dine across a variety of globally inspired restaurants. Paired with the Unlimited Premium Drink Package and these experiences are enhanced even further, whether savouring a fine vintage from the award-winning wine portfolio or enjoying a handcrafted cocktail at sea.

At the heart of the offering is Luminae, the private restaurant reserved exclusively for Retreat® guests. In collaboration with internationally acclaimed Chef Daniel Boulud, Luminae presents complimentary signature dishes in a sleek, cutting-edge setting. Day to day, a team of world-class chefs curate a new menu every day for two full weeks, ensuring each dining experience feels both modern and extraordinary.

For those drawn to spa-inspired cuisine, Blu Restaurant offers a fresh and imaginative approach to dining. Though created for AquaClass® guests, guests of The Retreat® are also welcome to enjoy its light, clean dishes for both breakfast and dinner. If the comfort of the suite is simply too good to leave behind, guests can opt for a full in-suite dining experience. Whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, the experience is delivered with the same signature attention to detail.

Beyond The Suite

Beyond exquisite suites and exceptional dining, The Retreat® offers guests a collection of private spaces designed exclusively for their enjoyment. Whether seeking total relaxation or moments of quiet indulgence, these areas create a sense of sanctuary at sea.

The Retreat Sundeck is the ultimate haven for unwinding and restoring. The serene, private escape invites guests to bask in the sun or settle onto a shaded lounger, surrounded by sweeping views of the ocean. Attentive Retreat Attendants are always nearby, ready to bring towels, drinks or light bites, ensuring every moment remains effortless. Guests can refresh with a dip in the sparkling pool, sink into the bubbling hot tub or enjoy a cocktail with friends at the bar.

Equally inviting is the Retreat Lounge, a hidden gem on the Edge® Series ships. Open all day, this is the perfect place to pause, whether for a morning coffee, a light snack or a quiet moment with a favourite book. Comfortable seating and a relaxed atmosphere make it ideal for both solo time and socialising. A highlight is the exclusive Afternoon Tea where delicate sandwiches, decadent cakes and classic British treats are served alongside a glass or two of bubbles.
