Celebrity Cruises is reimagining one of its most beloved ships – and delivering new ways to experience the Caribbean – with the reveal of the newly modernized Celebrity Reflection.
As the second Solstice Series ship to be made new again, the transformation introduces 13 new spaces including Edge Series standouts like the stunning Grand Plaza, guest-favourite venues from the revitalized Celebrity Solstice and two brand-new concepts – Orange Peel Bar & Grille and Tacos del Sol.
Sailing year-round in the Caribbean, Celebrity Reflection’s itineraries from Fort Lauderdale span three- and four-night Caribbean escapes to Key West and The Bahamas, to six- and eight-night journeys visiting Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Turks & Caicos, and Grand Cayman.

Guests can look forward to the 2027 President’s Cruise on the renewed Celebrity Reflection from May 10–14, 2027.
“Celebrity Cruises is constantly dreaming up ways to innovate and elevate what we deliver for our guests, which is what makes this fleet modernization program so much more than a refresh,” said president Laura Hodges Bethge.
“With Celebrity Reflection, we’re evolving the guest experience in meaningful ways – introducing 13 new spaces designed to help guests relax, explore, and connect in ways that feel effortless and unforgettable.”
A Reimagined Celebrity Pool Club
The Celebrity Pool Club anchors the ship’s redesigned outdoor deck, blending modern design with a relaxed tropical atmosphere. Two dedicated bars, expanded seating, plush daybeds, and added shade, plus daily activities and poolside events make it easy for guests to spend the entire day at the water’s edge.
Guests will also find two new-to-fleet poolside dining experiences:
Orange Peel Bar & Grille: With a menu built for sun-soaked days, Orange Peel Bar & Grille anchors the poolside experience. The venue features smashburgers and other grilled favourites alongside frozen cocktails. Guests can enjoy service whether seated nearby or relaxing poolside.
Tacos del Sol: A casual, open-air concept centered around bold, Mexican-inspired flavours. The venue features a build-your-own taco stand with a range of options and fresh toppings for poolside dining.
Four New Spaces for Guests to be Entertained
- The Grand Plaza is Celebrity Reflection’s most dramatic new space. The three-story, Edge Series-style venue anchors the ship’s entertainment. A new, centrally located Martini Bar will feature a giant suspended chandelier that commands the room, which will feature live performances and music from day to night.
- Originally debuting on Celebrity Solstice, the 125-seat Boulevard Lounge brings all-day entertainment to Celebrity Reflection, anchored by dueling pianos and interactive programming. Guests can enjoy games, karaoke, and live performances throughout the day.
- Steps away from Boulevard Lounge, Boulevard Bar offers a selection of handcrafted cocktails, perfect for enjoying before or after a show.
- Another favourite from Celebrity Solstice, The Parlor is an elevated sports and gaming lounge. Featuring hundreds of classic board games, billiards, and darts, The Parlor is perfect for some friendly competition or watching sports on the big screens.

A Day in the Park
The reimagined Sunset Park transforms the ship’s top deck into an outdoor space designed for relaxation and connection. The open-air venue features a range of activities – from meditation to lawn games, outdoor movies, and live music. New private cabanas offer shaded areas to unwind. Sunset Park Café serves casual bistro-style dining for breakfast and lunch, while the adjacent Sunset Bar offers handcrafted cocktails throughout the day.
Three New Dining Experiences
- The intimate Italian restaurant Trattoria Rossa, which debuted this year on Celebrity Solstice, serves Roman cuisine. Guests can savour classic meat dishes and pastas made in-house daily, paired with Italian-inspired cocktails and Celebrity Cruises’ award-winning wine selections.
- The Forbes Travel Guide-rated Fine Cut Steakhouse redefined dining on the Edge Series and now joins Celebrity Reflection. Guests will experience 30-day dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood, and elevated service.
- Set against panoramic ocean views, Bora brings a Mediterranean-inspired rooftop concept to Celebrity Reflection. First introduced in November 2025 on Celebrity Xcel, the venue shifts from day to night. A lively brunch features customizable cocktails, while evenings are centred on chef-led tableside dishes and shareable plates.
