The ship also has more suites, with new furniture, flat-screen TVs, upholstery, bedding and carpeting. Restyled staterooms have with new carpeting, flat-screen TVs, upholstery and bedding.

“Our newly ‘Solsticized’ Celebrity Constellation is a significant outgrowth of our ‘Designed for you’ brand platform, built around our longtime commitment to identifying and designing what our guests want,” said Celebrity President and CEO Dan Hanrahan. Celebrity Constellation is the first of the line’s four Millennium-class ships to be “Solsticized.” Celebrity Infinity and Celebrity Summit will be similarly refurbished in 2011, followed by Celebrity Millennium in 2012. The revitalization is only part of Celebrity’s Designed for you platform, which represents a nearly $200 million investment.

Following its current seven-night cruise through the Norwegian Fjords, Celebrity Constellation will operate a series of 12-night Scandinavia and Russia cruises, followed by an eight-night Northern Europe and Mediterranean cruise from Amsterdam to Barcelona. From Barcelona, the ship will operate seven-night Mediterranean roundtrips before a 14-night trans-Atlantic voyage departing Barcelona Nov. 6, ending in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. There, Celebrity Constellation will present two consecutive 14-night Exotic Caribbean cruises, prior to embarking on a 15-night Panama Canal voyage from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego on Dec. 18.
