Summer
Alaska
Inside Passage and Gulf of Alaska sailings, with the smaller-ship advantage in the narrower scenic waterways and a covered Solarium built for the weather.

Celebrity Summit
The rebuilt sister — small enough to slip into the quiet ports, polished enough to feel new.
Summit was the ship that launched the Celebrity Revolution programme, emerging from a substantial rebuild with new staterooms, restyled public rooms, an expanded Retreat and a reworked pool deck. She carries around 2,200 guests, which is roughly half a modern flagship — quick to board, easy to learn, and comfortably calm by the first sea day. Her map is one of the fleet's most scenic: Alaska glacier country, Bermuda from the north-east, Caribbean winters and autumn colour through Canada and New England.

A high-level look. We'll go deeper on any of these — including the shows worth pre-booking — when we speak.
The Revolution flagship refit
Summit went first: new bedding and bathrooms, restyled lounges, new speciality venues, a rebuilt Retreat sundeck and a refreshed Solarium. Inside, she doesn't read as a 2001 ship.
Alaska, Bermuda and New England
Her size is the point — closer-in glacier viewing, an overnight berth in Bermuda, and the small Canadian and New England ports the big ships have to skip.
The Retreat
Luminae, the Retreat Lounge, a private sundeck and butler service — the same headline suite experience as the newest ships, on a far more intimate scale and usually a gentler fare.
Dining on a human scale
The signature two-deck main restaurant with the aft windows, plus Tuscan Grille, Sushi on Five and the Rooftop Garden Grill. Fewer guests means the table and time you asked for is usually still free.
The glass-roofed Solarium
Adults-only, covered, pool and hot tubs. On an Alaskan morning or a breezy Bermuda crossing it is the most-used room on board.
All Included fares
Most UK Summit fares bundle drinks, Wi-Fi and tips. We'll tell you honestly whether the standard package covers what you'll actually drink before you pay to upgrade.
Cabins & where to book
Not all balconies are equal.
Summit carries a lower veranda ratio than the newer Celebrity ships, so balcony grades sell out earlier and the better ocean-view cabins genuinely earn their keep. On Alaska and Bermuda sailings the aft Sunset verandas are the ones guests ask for by name — and the first to go.
We'll steer you clear of the obstructed views, the cabins under the pool deck and the noisy connecting doors — and towards the ones that quietly go for the same money.
Best value
Concierge Class, mid-ship decks 8–9
The steadiest part of the ship, short walks everywhere, priority embarkation and a few sensible extras for a small step above a standard veranda.
Quiet pick
Sunset Veranda, aft
Deep terraces and wake views — made for glacier days and slow departures out of Bermuda. There are very few of them, so ask early.
Worth the upgrade
Sky Suite in The Retreat
Luminae, the Retreat Lounge and a butler on a 2,200-guest ship. On a longer Alaska or Canada voyage the maths works better than most people expect.
Approach with care
Forward cabins and those beneath the pool deck
More movement forward on open-water stretches, and deck chairs overhead early on sea days. We'll shift you a floor or two for much the same money.
