When Celebrity Reflection returns to service in March 2027 after an extensive refurbishment it will feature 13 new experiences, including two brand-new dining concepts.
“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 Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “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.”
Reflection will be the second Solstice class ship to be refurbished, receiving news spaces that include Edge Class signatures like the Grand Plaza, as well as new concepts such as the Orange Peel Bar & Grille and Tacos del Sol.
Reimagined Celebrity Pool Club
The Celebrity Pool Club anchors the ship’s redesigned outdoor deck. 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: Orange Peel Bar & Grille features smashburgers and other grilled favorites alongside frozen cocktails. Guests can enjoy service whether seated nearby or relaxing poolside.
- Tacos del Sol: Tacos del Sol introduces a casual, open-air concept centered around Mexican-inspired flavors. The venue features a build-your-own taco stand with a range of options and fresh toppings for poolside dining.
Refreshed Public Spaces & Dining Venues
The Grand Plaza will be Celebrity Reflection’s most dramatic new space. The three-story, Edge Series-style space includes a new, centrally located Martini Bar with a giant suspended chandelier that commands the room, complete with a chandelier show, as well as live performances, and music from day to night.

The reimagined Sunset Park transforms the ship’s top deck into a park-like outdoor space designed for relaxation and connection.
