Celebrity Millennium

Celebrity Millennium
The Celebrity Millennium is a Millennium class cruise ship in the fleet of Celebrity Cruises. She is the flagship of the Millennium Class of cruise ships. Her sister ships are Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Infinity, and Celebrity Summit. She was launched in 2000 and was the world's first ship to use a turbo-electric COGES (Combined gas and steam) power plant.

The Celebrity Millennium has a dining venue called RMS Olympic Restaurant. This restaurant brings a bygone era back to life. Passengers begin to get a feel for how those old days of transatlantic cruising used to be like, with table service and a dine in wine cellar. The decor looks old, well it should be, it actually contains wooden panels originally used in the RMS Olympic (sister ship to RMS Titanic) which were removed and preserved when the RMS Olympic was sold for scrap in 1936.

Another feature of the ship is the Celebrity Theatre, where shows are performed and movies are shown, plus The Conservatory, located in a glasshouse environment and spreading across a whole foyer. It's a botanical haven with flowers and plants, designed by the world renowned floral designer, Emilio Robba.
