On the Mercury, relaxation and dining are not pastimes - they're rituals.
As on the other elegant liners of Celebrity's fleet, there's an emphasis
on shipboard well-being and rejuvenation found on few cruise ships in the
premium - or even the luxury - price range. Consider these Mercury delights:
- A health spa sanctuary featuring Egyptian ceremonies of milk
and ginger; exotic jasmine flower baths; and heated, aromatic stone
massages
- An elegant, two-tiered dining sanctuary featuring menus prepared
under the direction of the acclaimed Master Chef Micheal Roux
- The Celebrity "signature" Champagne and Martini bars
for pre-or after-dinner relaxation. There's even a top-of-the-atrium
cigar bar with deep, leather chairs and sofas.
- Contemporary "eclectic" décor. From glass-walled
Stratosphere Club high atop the ship to the dramatic, multi-tiered space
of the ship's main theater, the décor is fresh and contemporary
The Mercury pays close attention to the little touches that add up to making
a cruise very special - fresh flowers on every dining table, every night;
creative placement and lighting of artwork throughout the ship; a subtle
mix of distinctive décors - not the screaming "themes"
as seen on many cruise ships; and perhaps most important - an always attentive
yet never obtrusive staff. |
