OVERVIEW
Celebrity Summit is the third of four ships
designed for Celebrity Cruises by Jon
Bannenberg. She has sleek, eye-pleasing
lines that give an impression of graceful
movement.
Summit, like her sisters (Celebrity
Millennium, Celebrity Infinity and Celebrity
Constellation,) is also very sophisticated
technologically. The ship utilizes the Azipod
system, which makes her very maneuverable
and which has such added benefits as
increasing the amount of usable space within
the hull and reducing engine vibration.
Her primary power source is gas turbine
engines, which are very powerful and
environmentally friendly. (Unfortunately,
they are also very expensive to operate and
so all four ships have been retrofitted with a
diesel engine, which they can use for power
in port and on those occasions when just a bit
of additional power is needed).
Summit's hotel is as sophisticated as her
technology. The ship is done in an
understated contemporary style with soft
lighting and earth tones. Placed
unobtrusively around the ship are numerous
pieces of 20th century art. The atmosphere is
tranquil and upscale.
In 2010, Summit is spending the colder
months cruising out of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Then, in the warmer months, she is cruising
out of Bayonne, New Jersey (part of the port
of New York) going to Bermuda and to New
England/Canada.
If you are looking to speak with someone official, the
place to go is the base of the Grand Foyer. Here one
finds: The Guests Relations desk, the ship's
reception desk (above left). Nearby, is The Concierge
Desk. where guests can book car rentals, make
restaurant reservations etc. in the ports of call (not
shown). The Captain's Club desk is there for repeat
Celebrity passengers (above right). The Shore
Excursions office is on the starboard side of the
Grand Foyer (right). However, there are also points of
contact in other parts of the ship such as The Port
Shopping desk (below) and the Special Occasions
Consultant's Desk (below right)
Summit has a three-deck high
central atrium is dominated by
curtained-pillars which frame a
central staircase.
Constellation has a large.
high quality art collection,
featuring primarily
contemporary works.
