Celebrity Summit overview

Revolutionized in 2019, Summit takes Celebrity Cruises' modern luxury concept to the next level. Celebrity Summit 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.

Launched in 2001, Celebrity Summit is older, but the ship doesn't show its age. In March 2019, it became the second vessel to receive Celebrity Revolution upgrades as part of a $500 million fleetwide initiative. The refurbished ship features upgraded staterooms with expanded bathrooms, premium eXhale bedding, a comfortable layout, and ample storage. Passengers can enjoy daytime edutainment, hobby-related classes, reimagined restaurants developed by Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, and world-class performances from the storied American Ballet Theatre on select voyages. From the amenities to the dining venues and public spaces, every part of the ship is designed for a premium cruising experience (without the luxury fares).

The refurbished Celebrity Summit sails from homeports in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Bayonne, New Jersey. Additional departures leave from Fort Lauderdale, San Diego, and Dublin, Ireland. Travelers are offered an abundance of cruises in the 7- to 10-night range with ports of call in Bermuda and the Caribbean, including Aruba, Curaçao, and Key West. If you're interested in longer itineraries, hop aboard for an extraordinary journey through the Panama Canal and Central America as you travel between Fort Lauderdale and San Diego. Summit also sails to New England, Canada, Iceland, and Greenland.

First time to Alaska but won't be the last time.... by TWLGA

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Celebrity Summit

This cruise was a surprise Christmas gift to my 2 boys who always wanted to go to Alaska. They loved fishing but we weren't able to get them out there due to bad weather at Seward. We did see 1 group at the pier who caught a 70lb Halibut. I have never seen that big of fish in person and it was a great experience. Together as a family, I can't ask for more than what we experienced at Alaska X Summit. We all gained a few extra pounds due to all the great food and drinks available 24/7. We will definitely will add another X cruise trip on our next family vacation for sure. It was great making memories with my family at this cruise. Thank you X Summit family.

Good but Not Great Alaskan Cruise by ghgcpa

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Summit

While the food at Luminae was excellent and the service there was generally excellent and our cabin was very nice, we didn't feel like the overall experience on Summit was worth the price tag that we paid. The price tag for a cruise in The Retreat on Celebrity creates significant expectations for the experience. Some of those expectations were definitely met while others were sadly missing this time. I wouldn't recommend spending the extra money on Summit.

Beautiful Alaska Cruise by dasleger13

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple

Beautiful wild Alaska! We enjoyed nature and culture on Celebrity Summit from Seward, Juneau, Skagway, Ice Point Strait, Ketchikan, to Vancouver tomorrow. Excellent chef meals, Broadway shows, comedian, and musical arrangements!

St Croix, very nice beach just off pier to the left. Walk past the clock tower and follow along the shore. When you hit the beach continue along till the small shack where you can rent chairs and umbrellas.

Go to the back of the ship on the 10th floor, where you can sit outside in the morning and evening to eat. That was a great place to sit!
