Our ambitious, multimillion-dollar program, designed to “Solsticize” Celebrity’s Millennium® Class, has already begun. While maintaining the charm of the lauded Millennium Class, Celebrity Constellation® has received a stunning makeover that extends some of your favorite Solstice Class attributes onto the ship. You’ll now find our popular dining venues there, like Tuscan Grille and Bistro on Five, and your favorite bars, too, including the "icy" Martini Bar & Crush and Cellar Masters. You’ll also find many of the design treatments that make our newest ships the world’s best, with enhancements throughout the public and private spaces taking their cues from Celebrity’s Solstice Class. Look for this exciting transformation to take place on Celebrity Millennium, Celebrity Infinity®, and Celebrity Summit® in 2011 and 2012. Dan Hanrahan With Celebrity Eclipse◊ now sailing in Europe—and later this year in the Caribbean—and President & CEO Celebrity Cruises® Celebrity Silhouette◊ under construction, we’ll soon have four stunning Solstice Class ships plying the seas. And that means more opportunities for you to enjoy all they have to offer. Whether your vacation plans take you to the culturally rich shores of Europe or the carefree beaches of the Caribbean, starting in November of 2011, you’ll have four Solstice Class ships to choose from, through the new itineraries we’ve designed for 2011 and 2012. The pleasures of Celebrity’s Solstice Class have never been easier to find. But a Celebrity cruise is about far more than where we sail; it’s also about what you can experience onboard. In this issue, we’ll profile Celebrity Life◊, our onboard program designed to turn each sailing into an enriching, entertaining journey. We invite you to learn more about the program, including the “Celebrity iLearn” courses offered in our hip, new Celebrity iLounge◊, offered exclusively on Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Summit and, next year, Celebrity Silhouette. And finally, we wanted you to know that we’ll continue to celebrate our 20th Anniversary throughout the year by holding a 20th-anniversary party on every sailing, complete with a complimentary celebratory cocktail and a commemorative pin for every guest. We sincerely hope you’re one of them. The future at Celebrity has never looked brighter. We look forward to making your next sailing, and the next 20 years, something worth celebrating.
