For those who seek the ultimate in luxury at sea, The Retreat on select Celebrity Cruise ships offers an experience that goes beyond the ordinary. It’s more than just a suite—it’s a space where every detail is designed around you, creating a personalized, elevated experience from start to finish. From thoughtful comforts to extraordinary indulgences, The Retreat delivers a level of service and luxury that’s second to none. Here’s what you can expect when you choose to stay in this exclusive area of the ship.
Personalized Service & Exclusive Perks
One of the standout features of The Retreat is the level of personalized service. Each suite comes with a dedicated butler, available through Butler Chat, an easy-to-use messaging system that connects you with your butler no matter where you are on the ship. Whether you need help planning excursions, making reservations, or simply having a special request, your butler is there to take care of all of your needs
If you’re looking to enhance your experience ashore, a Destination Experience Specialist is available to guide you through curated shore excursions, making it easy to explore destinations in a meaningful way. Additionally, guests in The Retreat can enjoy a private Sundeck—available on Edge Series and Revolutionized ships—complete with shaded loungers, a pool, and hot tubs, all served by Retreat Attendants who can bring drinks, snacks, or anything else you might need to make the most of your day.
Dining at Luminae
For many, one of the highlights of staying in The Retreat is the access to Luminae, an exclusive restaurant just for suite guests. The menu is designed to be a special experience, with a range of exquisite dishes—some of which are created by celebrity chef Daniel Boulud. The focus here is on fine dining that feels approachable and designed for those who enjoy the art of great food, all within an intimate, relaxed setting.
Comfort and Luxury at Every Turn
Inside your suite, the luxury is evident at every turn. Spacious living areas, oversized verandas, and large windows that offer breathtaking views make it easy to forget you’re even on a ship. From the cashmere mattresses to the plush cotton bathrobes, you’ll feel completely at home. In addition, guests staying in Royal Suites and above can enjoy a range of perks, like a personalized minibar, complimentary laundry service and unlimited pressing.
Priority Services & VIP Treatment
One of the best aspects of staying in The Retreat is the seamless access to priority services. From the moment you arrive, you’ll experience priority boarding and embarkation, ensuring a smooth start to your journey. For ports that require tendering, The Retreat guests enjoy priority access, so you never have to worry about waiting in long lines.
Onboard, you’ll also have access to reserved seating for theater shows, complimentary beach towel service, shoeshine service, and even binoculars for the best views during your trip. Plus, the Extend Your Stay program offers a relaxing option to stay on board until mid-afternoon on debarkation day, with the chance to enjoy lunch at Luminae before you leave.
Dining & Drinks to Savor
No matter where you are on the ship, dining is always a highlight of the experience. Staying in The Retreat means you’ll have access to an unlimited Premium Drink Package, allowing you to enjoy a wide selection of beverages, from wines to cocktails, all day long. Your suite also comes with a stocked minibar, replenished daily with sodas, water, and beer, plus two bottles of premium spirits or wine.
For those who love fine dining, you can indulge in unlimited specialty dining, including dinner every night at one of the ship’s signature restaurants. You’ll also have the option to dine in Blu, a quieter, more intimate restaurant that caters to suite guests.
Relaxation and Amenities
When it comes to relaxation, The Retreat offers plenty of spaces to unwind. From the peaceful privacy of your suite to the tranquil Retreat Lounge—a quiet space where you can relax with a drink, a snack, or a book—the whole area is designed to help you slow down and enjoy your time at sea.
In addition to the comfortable, well-appointed suites, you’ll have access to an exclusive pillow menu and sleepwear, as well as premium Wi-Fi to stay connected.
