Celebrity Reflection to debut 13 new venues in March 2027 modernization

Celebrity Cruises has unveiled the upgrades debuting on the Celebrity Reflection in March 2027.

This is the cruise line's second Solstice Series ship to be modernized.

The transformation of the 2012-built vessel introduces updated entertainment and dining spaces, as well as 13 new venues, according to a press release.

"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."

The Celebrity Pool Club, which will now have two dedicated bars, expanded seating and added shade, will also get two new poolside dining experiences:

• Orange Peel Bar & Grille: a venue featuring smashburgers and other grilled dishes alongside frozen cocktails.
• Tacos del Sol: a casual, open-air concept serving Mexican-inspired flavors with a build-your-own taco stand.

The ship is also getting four new spaces for entertainment: the three-story Grand Plaza; the 125-seat Boulevard Lounge for games, karaoke and live performances; the Boulevard Bar, offering handcrafted cocktails, and the Parlor, which is a sports and gaming lounge.

Another addition is the Sunset Park, a park-like outdoor space designed for relaxation and connection, featuring activities that range from meditation to lawn games, outdoor movies and live music.

Guests can also look forward to three new dining experiences:

• Trattoria Rossa, serving Italian meat dishes and pastas made in-house daily, as well as dishes prepared tableside, paired with cocktails and wine.
• Fine Cut Steakhouse, offering 30-day dry-aged steaks and fresh seafood.
• The Bora, a Mediterranean-inspired rooftop concept featuring brunch and customizable cocktails during the day, with evenings centered on chef-led tableside dishes and plates to be shared.

The Retreat, the ship's exclusive suite class, will have an enhanced The Retreat Sundeck with an oversized hot tub and a redesigned lounge.

Other venues that will be updated include Café Al Bacio, Cellar Masters, Casino, Art Gallery, World Class Bar, Martini Bar, Pool Bar, Passport Bar, the Fitness Center and Camp at Sea, as well as Luminae, exclusive to guests of The Retreat, and Blu, which is exclusive to AquaClass guests.

Once the upgrades are done in the first quarter of 2027, the ship will sail year-round in the Caribbean.

Its itineraries from Fort Lauderdale include three- and four-night Caribbean voyages to Key West and The Bahamas, as well as six- and eight-night journeys visiting Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Turks & Caicos and Grand Cayman.

The ship will also sail the cruise line's 2027 President's Cruise May 10–14, 2027.
