Celebrity Infinity made its initial splash back in 2001. Following a series of renovations, the vessel has set sail into its next era. As part of Celebrity Cruises’ ongoing $500 million fleetwide makeover, the ship now boasts refreshed carpeting, furniture, decks and décor more aligned with its newer liners.
However, the most notable addition belongs to The Retreat, Celebrity's signature class of suites with butler service and other exclusive amenities. This fresh category includes new accommodations, Sunset Suites; private dining options; and the former Michael’s Club 24-hour lounge being beautifully transformed into an expanded Retreat Lounge.
Still, the ship's original charm remains intact, particularly in spaces like the Rooftop Terrace, where you can still enjoy outdoor movie screenings, and in the ship's beloved European cafe-inspired lounge.
With a relatively small 2,170-passenger occupancy, the ship, which travels to the Mediterranean and South America, offers wonderful service and a familiar ambiance onboard, thus confirming what the name suggests — that the Celebrity Infinity has enduring appeal.- The ship’s upgrade introduced a new category of highly desirable Sunset Suites. These units, positioned at the back of the ship, offer 242-square-foot verandas to enjoy breathtaking views and access to The Retreat’s numerous amenities.
- Celebrity cruisers adore the Millennium Class ships for their signature rooftop terraces. While perfect for alfresco movie screenings, Deck 12 now also has pickleball courts for those who want to get in a little workout in the fresh air.
- The ship’s spa boasts an impressive treatment menu that includes rejuvenating Elemis Biotec Facials and holistic body treatments (like the standout Zero Gravity Immersion Massage) inspired by the natural elements of sea, earth and air.
- The expansion of The Retreat’s private restaurant Luminae and its lounge elevates the spaces to heights that rival Celebrity’s newer Edge ship. These stylish spaces now allow for live entertainment, the perfect complement to the Daniel Boulud-designed menu and the lounge’s complimentary drinks.
- The Persian Garden, a staple of the Millennium Series, offers an adults-only onboard oasis. The aromatic steam room, Finnish and herbal saunas, and experiential showers enhance any pampering at the spa.
- In the AquaClass staterooms, you will find a wellness-centered experience at sea. Amenities include two yoga mats, a spa-like massaging showerhead, complimentary fitness classes, unlimited access to the Persian Garden and the health-minded Blu restaurant, and a personal spa concierge to help you curate an ideal spa itinerary and secure priority bookings.
- Consider splurging for one meal at one of three onboard specialty dining venues. Qsine offers experiential animated dinner theater with Le Petit Chef. Sushi on Five is beloved for its premium, authentically prepared Japanese cuisine menu crafted by chef Yoshikazu "Yoshi" Okada. The contemporary Tuscan Grille steakhouse sets the scene for a romantic evening.
- A host of lounges provides options for where to begin or end and an evening: the European-inspired Café Al Bacio & Gelateria for Lavazza espresso, decadent pastries and desserts; the high-energy Martini Bar & Crush for well-crafted cocktails served with performance; and the laid-back Sunset Bar, where a guitarist serenades to the setting sun.
- The family-friendly ship is a treasure trove of dedicated, age-appropriate spaces and activities. Travelers between 13 and 17 can engage in video game tournaments and silent discos. “Captains” (those 10 to 12) can enjoy the thrill of scavenger hunts and sports tournaments. “Cadets” (six to nine years old) can experience the joy of camping out on the lawn. “Shipmates” (three to five) can explore their creativity at the Creation Station, where they can do art, learn camp songs and more.
