Is The Retreat right for you?
Big-ship lovers who want quiet
Shows, pools and casinos, with a private place to escape and the best restaurant on board.

What sailors say.
5.00 average from 38 client reviews on Fora.
When NatGeo/Lindblad notified us at the last minute of a mistake on their end, Derek communicated it to me and handled it smoothly, while also getting me an additional credit.
He is extremely patient with questions and very responsive. I would always hear from Derek within 24 hours but usually, within 1-2 hours. … Working with Derek is like having a friend at Virgin.
Derek consistently excels in communication, diligently gathering all requested information and finding the best deals. He provides excellent guidance for booking unforgettable cruises.
Celebrity Retreat FAQ
What is The Retreat on Celebrity Cruises?
The Retreat is Celebrity's suite class: a ship within a ship with its own restaurant, Luminae, a private Retreat Lounge, a Retreat Sundeck on Edge-class and revolutionized ships, and a butler for every suite.
What is included in The Retreat?
Retreat fares include Luminae dining, premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, priority embarkation, 24-hour room service, lounge access, butler service, twice-daily housekeeping and an in-suite minibar. Royal Suites and above add specialty dining.
Are gratuities included in The Retreat?
Not automatically. Celebrity's daily crew gratuity for Retreat suites is currently $24.50 per person per day unless you prepay it or your promotion covers it. I show it clearly in your quote.
What is the cheapest Retreat suite?
The Sky Suite is the entry Retreat category, at about 319 square feet plus a 79-square-foot veranda on many ships. It gets the full Retreat package: Luminae, the lounge, butler service and premium drinks.
Is The Retreat cheaper than a luxury cruise line?
Often, yes. The Retreat gives you luxury-level service and inclusions on a big ship with more restaurants, shows and pools. If you want a smaller, quieter ship, compare it with Explora or the Ritz-Carlton yachts.
What perks do I get booking The Retreat with At Ease Travel Co.?
I book Celebrity through Fora, a Virtuoso member, so many Retreat sailings come with Virtuoso amenities such as onboard credit. I confirm the amenity in writing with your quote.
