On the Galaxy, second of the line's three "Century-class" ships,
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. And as with all Celebrity ships, the onboard art collection
(assembled by Christina Chandris, a member of Celebrity's founding family)
is extensive, expensive and attractively presented - yet another illustration
of Celebrity's tag line, "a true departure."
Consider these other Galaxy 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.
- Outdoor and indoor pools offer a choice of fair-weather leisure
space and all-weather convenience courtesy of a sliding glass canopy
- 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 Galaxy 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; an absence of unnecessary onboard announcements;
and perhaps most important - an always attentive yet never obtrusive staff. |
