Celebrity Cruises Continues Industry-Leading Culinary Options

One-of-a-kind culinary offerings and exceptional restaurants continue to typify Celebrity Cruises as the industry leader in this category. Guests will savor fresh, authentic Japanese dishes at new restaurant Sushi on Five, enjoy the decadent Concierge Class, delicious menus, and much more in what is known as the “Celebrity Distinction.”

Leading the way is Celebrity’s expanded restaurant portfolio:

• Celebrity’s culinary delight “Sushi on Five” – reimaged from what was once “Bistro on Five” – features an à la carte menu, crafted by expert sushi chef Yoshikazu “Yoshi” Okada. The new menu features hand-rolled sushi, fresh tableside grated wasabi, house-made soy sauce, plus a variety of starters and entrees paired with an array of Asian-inspired cocktails, Japanese beers and premium sakes curated by a sake sommelier
• Celebrity’s Italian-inspired ristorante and enoteca, Tuscan Grille, currently onboard the Solstice Class and Millennium Class ships, showcases a menu crafted by Chef Gallagher, Celebrity’s Michelin-starred culinary lead. The menu features 100% homemade pasta, artisanal salami and cheeses, USDA prime dry-aged steaks, as well as Celebrity’s own spin on Italian regional favorites. Sip hand-crafted, Italian-inspired cocktails, house-made limoncello and choose from the wine list dedicated to the wine-growing regions of Italy.
• An energetic, vibrant lounge onboard Solstice ships, the Sky Observation Lounge offers hand-crafted cocktails prepared by a flair mixologist who has been professionally trained by the world’s best Flair Bartender, Christian Delpech.

Additional enhancements, introduced during 2016, include:

• Celebrity was the first cruise line in the industry to introduce Dine Aware, the only standard for the food and beverage industry that focuses on food allergy and intolerance communication and experiences.
• Celebrity’s Ripple Maker prints personalized images and photos on cappuccinos and lattes, bringing joy to every cup.
• Celebrity took customization a step further with its Blendtique wine blending classes, allowing guests to become a vintner for the day, creating one-of-a-kind wine blends that can be bottled onboard and customized with personalized wine labels. Guests are able to mail order their custom blended wine to their friends and family on land.
• Riedel Glassware, created with over 260 years of expertise in redefining modern glassware, became Celebrity’s exclusive glassware featured in the main dining rooms fleet wide.

The excitement doesn’t stop there; guests can continue to enjoy the new Rooftop Terrace while savoring sumptuous cuisine inspired by classic films at A Taste of Film, or experience a firsthand lesson in proper grilling techniques from top Grill Masters at the Lawn Club Grill. For the romantic in everyone, the guest favorite Murano offers modern interpretations of classic French cuisine and a unique Five Senses Menu, which features six courses presented in a tasting menu, perfectly paired with world-class wine, designed to stimulate the senses.

Suite Class and Aqua Class guests can enjoy distinct private restaurants of their own. Suite Class offers exclusive access to unrivaled globally inspired modern, eclectic fare at Luminae, the highest-rated restaurant across the fleet, while Aqua Class guests can dive in to the clean, crisp flavors and contemporary cuisine at Blu.

In addition to these truly new and wonderful culinary experiences and expanded restaurant portfolio, Celebrity boasts one-of-a-kind wine offerings and world-class cocktails fleet-wide:
