Our review

Celebrity Summit: New style & venues after a dazzling revitalization

Celebrity Summit pairs Celebrity Cruises' widely recognized Millennium-class attributes with many of the most popular venues on the line's stylish, award-winning Solstice-class fleet.  Summit's recent multimillion-dollar modernization efforts brought her up to brand standards. Some of the enhancements include new AquaClass staterooms, the addition of Qsine restaurant and Crush, a popular ice bar concept. 

At  91,000 gross registered tons and a capacity for 2,034 passengers, this large ship has space to roam, but the ship is not so big that you will get lost getting back to your stateroom.

Who will like sailing on Celebrity Summit

If you love great food, contemporary interior design and fab service, then choose Celebrity Summit. Although the cruise line was once a favorite of baby boomers, there are quite a lot of millennials who find the atmosphere more conducive to their lifestyle. Regardless of your age, there's something on board for everyone.

Where Celebrity Summit sails

Celebrity Summit pairs short 3- to 5-night forays into the Caribbean from fall to spring with longer sailings to Bermuda, New England, Canada, Greenland and Iceland from spring to fall.

Activities

There is  a large assortment of activities aboard Celebrity Summit, whether you're swimming a couple laps in one of the three pools, basking in a day at the Aqua Spa with steam rooms or catching up on a little reading in the library. There's no need to worrying about the children either. There are plenty of things for them, including a kid's pool and a video arcade filled with games to keep them occupied while you enjoy your cruise.

Staterooms

Fun fact

Celebrity Summit was the first large cruise ship helmed by an American woman. When Kate McCue became Summit's commanding officer in 2015, it was the first time that a woman from the United States had been named captain of a large cruise ship. She is now captain of Celebrity Beyond.
