Century is the lead ship of the Century Class of cruise ships for Celebrity Cruises. Other ships belonging to the Century Class are the Galaxy and the Mercury. Century was launched in 1995 and went into a 5 week drydock in April 2006 whilst undergoing complete refurbishment.
The US$55 million makeover will last until May 30, and will include 314 new verandas, 14 new suites, 10 new staterooms, an expanded number of Concierge Class staterooms and a new Martini Bar. Chief among the new dining options will be a speciality restaurant at the heart of the ship, with menus designed by Chef Michael Roux, and named "Murano" on account of its handcrafted Murano glass chandeliers.
