Celebrity Cruises has announced a series of premium and personalized enhancements to The Retreat, its luxury suite experience. The new features include dedicated suite butlers, shore excursion help, and private excursion escorts.

"At The Retreat, the world really does revolve around our guests," said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. "We collected extensive feedback from past guests, loyalty members, and our trade partners to inform how The Retreat experiences are being reimagined to continue exceeding vacation expectations by delivering on the amenities and experiences Celebrity Cruises guests value most."

The new enhancements include access to dedicated butlers accessible through Butler Chat for faster communication, as well as a dedicated shore excursions expert to assist guests in planning activities and ensuring smooth transfers at Celebrity's ports of call.

Introduced as the Destination Experience Specialist, this crew member will help maximize guests' time on shore, while suite-to-car butler escorts are available for customized Private Journeys excursions. Guests can also enjoy the comfort of The Retreat Lounge, or Michael's Club on Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Eclipse, and Celebrity Reflection, before embarking on excursions.

The culinary offerings at Luminae, the exclusive restaurant for suite guests, have also been enhanced with new signature dishes created by renowned French Chef Daniel Boulud, owner of the flagship Daniel restaurant in New York City. The restaurant will also feature a rotating dinner and dessert menu.
