The Cruise Experience
Celebrity Summit is a Millennium class ship with a refined, relaxed feel. She is smaller than many modern ships, which means service is consistent and personal, and it is easy to find your way around. With the Classic Drinks Package and Wi-Fi included, you can simply sit back with a cocktail on deck as the Alaskan scenery drifts by.
Food and wine are a real focus onboard. Alongside the Main Restaurant, you can try the Tuscan Grille, Sushi on Five, Le Petit Chef, the Oceanview Café and the Mast Grill. In between, there are pools and hot tubs, a fitness centre, a casino and a library, while evenings bring live music, comedy shows, dancing and featured films.
