Feb. 17, 2011 -- In January 2012 Celebrity's Summit will be the third among the quartet of older Millenium-class ship to complete a significant refit to add amenities in line with the line's new and widely praised Solstice-class.

The refit, which Celebrity refers to as "Solsticizing", will add:

• AquaClass spa-inspired veranda-category accommodations, paired with exclusive access to the Mediterranean-themed specialty restaurant, "Blu"
• Qsine specialty restaurant
• iLounge, a center for computer enrichment and an Apple-authorized reseller
• Bistro on Five, crepe-centered specialty dining
• Cellarmasters wine bar with the innovative Enomatic system to dispense wines by the ounce
• Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria
• Entirely new verandas added to Celebrity Suites
• Restyling of staterooms, suites and public areas

"Based on the phenomenal response we've had from guests who have sailed on the 'Solsticized' Celebrity Constellation, we're eager to introduce the same new features... and more," said Celebrity's President & CEO Dan Hanrahan. "We recognize that consumers' vacation time is precious, which inspires us to do everything we can to make their vacation with Celebrity Cruises something that is truly different and better than anything they've experienced before."

Qsine - a novel restaurant introduced on Celebrity Eclipse last year, and set to debut on Celebrity Infinity following the ship's revitalization in December 2011 - will be presented on Celebrity Summit, too. The first restaurant at sea to present a menu and wine list on an iPad(TM), Qsine aims for a playful and "quirky" style, a vertical selection of savory tapas and mezze served individually in custom-made frames, a trio of chilled soups delivered shot-style, and spring rolls served in springs. All are described in detail on the iPad-housed menu and wine list, which offers a full scan of wine labels, an interactive cocktail menu, and the ability for guests to enter tasting notes and e-mail their favorite wine selections.

As previously announced, sister ship Celebrity Infinity will emerge from a scheduled drydock period on December 3, 2011, with all the Solstice-inspired enhancements planned for Celebrity Summit.

Celebrity's fleet currently consists of 10 ships, with two additional Solstice Class ships scheduled to join the fleet: Celebrity Silhouette in July 2011, and Celebrity Reflection in Fall 2012.
