Celebrity Cruises will launch a modernized version of its Celebrity Reflection ship in March 2027, adding 13 new spaces to the vessel as it prepares for year-round Caribbean voyages.
According to a company press release, the overhaul is part of a broader fleet modernization program for the Miami-based cruise line, which is a subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Group.
The transformed ship, part of the company’s Solstice series, will feature redesigned outdoor decks, updated entertainment areas and several new dining concepts. Company officials described the extensive renovations as a way to deliver “unforgettable entertainment” and an “elevated premium vacation experience” for passengers.
“Celebrity Cruises is constantly dreaming up ways to innovate and elevate what we deliver for our guests, which is what makes this fleet modernization program so much more than a refresh,” said Celebrity Cruises President Laura Hodges Bethge. “With Celebrity Reflection, we’re evolving the guest experience in meaningful ways, introducing 13 new spaces designed to help guests relax, explore and connect in ways that feel effortless and unforgettable.”

What’s new on Celebrity Cruises’ Reflection cruise ship?
The ship’s outdoor areas will undergo significant changes, anchored by the redesigned Celebrity Pool Club. The space will include two bars, expanded seating and plush daybeds.
According to company officials, the pool area will also feature two dining concepts that are new to its existing cruise line fleet: the Orange Peel Bar and Grille will serve smash-burgers and frozen cocktails, while Tacos del Sol will operate as an open-air taco stand featuring Mexican-inspired flavors.
Further modifications include the creation of Sunset Park on the ship’s top deck, an open-air venue that is designed to offer sweeping ocean views alongside activities such as lawn games, outdoor movies and guided meditation.
Passengers can rent private cabanas with dedicated attendants, dine at the adjacent Sunset Park Cafe or order drinks from the Sunset Bar, officials said.
The ship will also incorporate venues previously introduced on the Celebrity Solstice ship. These include a 125-seat venue space hosting dueling pianos, karaoke and interactive games. A separate sports and gaming lounge will be equipped with classic board games, billiards, darts and large screens and will serve craft cocktails, award-winning whiskies and “over-the-top milkshakes.”
Indoor entertainment upgrades are centered around the Grand Plaza, a three-story venue featuring a suspended chandelier and a centrally located martini bar.
Dining options on the Celebrity Reflection will expand with three new restaurants.
Trattoria Rossa will serve Roman cuisine, including daily in-house pastas and tableside preparations. The Fine Cut Steakhouse will offer dry-aged steaks and fresh seafood, which the company claims will provide “elevated service.”
Finally, Bora will debut as a Mediterranean-inspired rooftop space that transitions from customizable brunch cocktails during the day to curate shareable plates in the evening. Bora is a restaurant concept first introduced on the Celebrity Xcel in November 2025, officials said.

Passengers booking the ship’s exclusive suite class, known as The Retreat, will gain access to a redesigned lounge and an enhanced sundeck featuring an oversized hot tub. Returning venues scheduled for ship-wide enhancements include the casino, art gallery, fitness center and various bars.
Following its March 2027 relaunch, the Celebrity Reflection will sail year-round from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, according to cruise line officials.
Itineraries include three-night and four-night trips to Key West and the Bahamas. The ship will also offer six-night and eight-night voyages to destinations such as Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Turks and Caicos, and Grand Cayman.
Additional details and booking information can be found on the Celebrity Cruises website.
