OVERVIEW
CONSTELLATION is an elegant and sophisticated ship.
The interior is restrained good taste. For the most part, it
is a contemporary design but there are some rooms that
were inspired by styles of another era. However, even in
those areas, the atmosphere is one of conservative
refinement. With the exception of the casino, there is
nothing gaudy about the decor.
The primary target market for this ship is the
accomplished, successful baby-boomers. Consequently,
there is an emphasis on service with the ship having a low
crew to passenger ratio of 1:1.9.
Celebrity has drawn together the various elements of its
onboard activities program under the unifying concept of
Celebrity Life. The program has three main areas
focusing on: enrichment activities including lectures done
in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institute and a foreign
language program; cuisine including wine tastings; and
wellness-related activities including spa services. (See
article). Guests can do as many or as few of these
activities as they desire. However, the program gives the
guests a series of sophisticated options.
The fourth and final ship in Celebrity's Millennium class,
CONSTELLATION incorporates some of the latest
maritime technology. She has two azimuthal pods, rather
than the traditional propellers and shaft propulsion system.
In addition, her engines are powered by gas turbines,
which are a cleaner system than the diesel engines used by
most ships. However, because of the high cost of running
gas turbines, an diesel engine has been retrofitted into all
the ships of this class,
CONSTELLATION is a relatively large ship but it is not
crammed full of passengers. Thus, the large size serves to
give passengers more space. This, of course, is consistent
with the overall goal giving passengers a high quality
cruising experience.


Most of the interaction between management and the
guests takes place at the base of the Grand Foyer on

The Port Shopping desk, however, is located on
Promenade Deck.
The central atrium is dominated by a large staircase
ascending between multi-story pillars. The style is
reminiscent of the art deco liners of the 1930s.
Constellation has a large.
high quality art collection,
featuring primarily
contemporary works.
