Celebrity Millennium

Celebrity Millennium is a Millennium class cruise ship operated by Celebrity Cruises. She entered service in 2000 and carries around 2,200 guests, placing her in the mid sized category. As the lead ship of her class, she helped establish a design that brought large amounts of glass, open public spaces and gas turbine propulsion to Celebrity's fleet. She was christened in Southampton in 2000 by Robyn Roux, wife of French chef Michel Roux.

Millennium has been extensively updated since entering service, with changes bringing elements of the newer Solstice class into the ship. The work has included refreshed staterooms, dining venues, coffee shops, bars and other public areas. One of the more unusual features is the RMS Olympic Restaurant, which incorporates original wooden panels from RMS Olympic's À la Carte restaurant. The Cosmos Lounge is another standout, with floor to ceiling windows providing wide views by day before the space becomes an evening entertainment venue.

Dining is a central part of life on board. The Metropolitan Restaurant is the main dining room, serving breakfast, sea day brunch, lunch on selected days and dinner. Its glass walled aft section and Art Deco inspired interiors give the room a calm, polished atmosphere. Other dining and drinking spaces provide more informal choices, while the ship's wider facilities include a spa, thermal areas, pools and outdoor spaces.

Entertainment centres on the three deck Celebrity Theater, where production shows, guest performers and live music provide the main evening programme. The Cosmos Lounge doubles as an observation area during the day and a nightclub after dark. Guests can also make use of the Multi Sports Court, where pickleball is offered alongside other activities.

Accommodation ranges from inside and ocean view rooms to balcony staterooms and suites. Around 60 percent of the cabins have private balconies. The Penthouse Suites are the largest, with around 1,430 square feet of interior space and expansive wraparound terraces.

Celebrity Millennium suits couples, families and cruisers who enjoy a refined atmosphere and plenty of dining and leisure choices, while preferring a mid sized ship with a more intimate feel than a much larger vessel.
