The Retreat offers the utmost in luxury to guests sailing with Celebrity Cruises, with suites featuring expansive views and stunning designs. Guests staying in The Retreat receive access to an exclusive sundeck (available on Edge Series and Revolutionized ships), a private lounge, and a number of special spaces.
