About Celebrity Summit
Celebrity Summit, from 2001, is a Millennium-class ship and was among the first ships to receive Celebrity’s Revolution modernization, in 2019, which refreshed cabins and public spaces and added The Retreat for suite guests. It originally opened with a specialty restaurant that displayed art from the French liner Normandie. Summit has sailed from the New York area to Bermuda and has also worked Alaska and the Caribbean. With a mid-size layout and a calm atmosphere, it suits travelers who prefer an easier, less crowded ship over big-ship attractions.
Best for: Northeast travelers who want a premium, mid-size ship for a Bermuda cruise.
