The Celebrity Millennium is showcasing the massive renovations that will add the features found on the new Celebrity Edge to all the ships in Celebrity Cruises fleet.
The update is part of The Celebrity Revolution, a $500-million fleet-wide project that will see a total of nine ships in Celebrity’s Millennium- and Solstice-class renovated by 2023.

Back in service after a 35-day rebuilding at a shipyard in Singapore, Millennium has a new deep blue color scheme similar to the look of Edge. All staterooms now include features by designer Kelly Hoppen that are inspired by boutique hotels, including Celebrity’s eXhale bedding featuring cashmere mattresses. Advanced RFID lock technology with digital key access has been added to every stateroom door.
