Celebrity Cruises has unveiled an extensive modernisation programme for Celebrity Reflection, making the vessel the second Solstice-class ship to undergo the company's fleet renewal initiative. Scheduled to re-enter service in March 2027, the refurbished ship will feature 13 new venues inspired by the Edge Series and the recently revitalised Celebrity Solstice, alongside two entirely new dining concepts. The enhancements are intended to expand outdoor recreation, dining and entertainment while reinforcing the vessel's year-round deployment in the Caribbean.
Following its return to service, Celebrity Reflection will operate 3- and 4-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to Key West and The Bahamas, together with 6- and 8-night itineraries calling at Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Turks and Caicos, and Grand Cayman. The ship will also host the 2027 President's Cruise, scheduled to sail between 10th and 14th May, 2027. Celebrity Cruises indicated that the modernisation programme represents a broader investment in enhancing the guest experience through the introduction of new public spaces and upgraded onboard facilities.
The redesigned outdoor deck will centre on the new Celebrity Pool Club, featuring expanded seating, additional shaded areas, private daybeds and two dedicated bars. The area will also introduce two new poolside dining venues: Orange Peel Bar & Grille, serving grilled specialities and frozen beverages, and Tacos del Sol, offering a casual Mexican-inspired menu built around freshly prepared tacos.
Entertainment facilities will be significantly expanded with the addition of the three-deck Grand Plaza, modelled on the Edge Series design and centred around a relocated Martini Bar beneath a suspended chandelier incorporating multimedia performances. The ship will also receive the Boulevard Lounge, featuring live music, duelling pianos, games and interactive entertainment, together with the adjacent Boulevard Bar. Another venue introduced from Celebrity Solstice will be The Parlour, combining sports viewing, board games, billiards, darts and an enhanced food and beverage offering.
A further addition will be Sunset Park, an open-air venue transforming the upper deck into a landscaped recreational area offering meditation sessions, lawn games, outdoor films and live music. The space will also include private cabanas with dedicated attendants, while the adjacent Sunset Park Café and Sunset Bar will provide casual dining and beverages throughout the day.
The culinary programme will be expanded through the introduction of three specialty restaurants. Trattoria Rossa will offer Roman-inspired cuisine with freshly prepared pasta and tableside service, while the Fine Cut Steakhouse will bring the Edge Series steakhouse concept to the vessel, specialising in dry-aged beef and seafood. Bora, first introduced aboard Celebrity Xcel, will provide a Mediterranean-inspired rooftop dining venue serving brunch during the day and chef-led dining experiences in the evening.
The modernisation also includes enhancements to The Retreat suite complex, where the sundeck will receive a larger whirlpool and the lounge will be redesigned. Additional upgrades will extend across several existing public areas, including Café Al Bacio, Cellar Masters, the Casino, Art Gallery, World Class Bar, Pool Bar, Passport Bar, the Fitness Centre and Camp at Sea, while Luminae and Blu will continue to serve guests staying in The Retreat and AquaClass accommodations respectively.
