About the Ship: Celebrity Summit takes the line’s modern luxury concept to the next level. The vessel isn’t the line's newest or biggest ship, but it's a favorite among couples and first-timers seeking a premium cruise with destination-focused itineraries, gourmet restaurants, and high-quality entertainment. It received a refurbishment in 2019 so you will find many new added amenities throughout the ship.

Pricing: Sailings are filling up quickly with the return of Celebrity Cruises to the Caribbean this summer and prices are changing regularly. Right now you can expect to pay about $90 per person per night for entry-level accommodations. Looking for your own private oasis to enjoy the spectacular views? We recommend choosing a Balcony Cabin. Prices for these rooms currently start at around $145 per person per night.
Celebrity Cruises prices may seem a bit more expensive than other lines, however their ‘Always Included’ promotion inclusions make up for the high price tag. This offer includes the following on all Celebrity sailings: Wi-Fi, drinks, and daily gratuities.
