To have one’s jaw drop might not always be a pleasant experience, but in the case of Celebrity Cruises the company promises this to be very pleasant indeed. It is the reaction they predict when cruise lovers first see their new Signature Suites and Reflection Suite on board Celebrity Reflection.

Celebrity Cruises is currently working with BG Studios, an interior design company based in New York, to add a new class of luxury accommodation for Celebrity Reflection, which is due to arrive in October next year.

Access to the suites will be via a private entrance situated on deck 14. Passengers will each get their own key card. There will be one Reflection Suite and five Signature Suites. These suites will have access to a private deck area that can also be reserved for special events.

The privilege of a Signature Suite will set you back from £5,311 per person in return for which you will get a 441 square feet suite with its own 118 square feet veranda. All windows and veranda doors are floor to ceiling for maximum ocean views. There is an iPad in every suite and each one enjoys 24/7 butler service. The suites can accommodate a maximum of four guests.

The Reflection Suite is in a class of its own. Prices start at £12,813 per person. It is the first ever two-bedroom suite on board a Celebrity ship. The total size is 1,636 square feet plus a 194 square feet veranda, and you even get a bathroom with sea views.
