Celebrity Cruises is reimagining one of its most beloved ships and prepares to debut the newly modernized Celebrity Reflection, the second Solstice Series ship to be renewed. The transformation will introduce 13 new spaces, including some elements from Celebrity’s Edge Series of ships, like Grand Plaza. Celebrity Reflection sails year-round in the Caribbean.
The Celebrity Pool Club anchors the ship’s redesigned outdoor deck, with two dedicated bars, expanded seating, daybeds and added shade, plus daily activities and poolside events. Guests will also find two new-to-fleet poolside dining experiences: Orange Peel Bar & Grille, featuring smashburgers, other grilled favorites and frozen cocktails; and Tacos del Sol, a casual, open-air Mexican-inspired concept.
Grand Plaza is the most dramatic of the new spaces, a three-story, Edge Series-style venue anchoring the ship’s entertainment with a new, centrally located Martini Bar complete with a chandelier show and live performances and music day to night. Originally debuting on Celebrity Solstice, 125-seat Boulevard Lounge brings all-day entertainment to Celebrity Reflection, including dueling pianos and interactive programming, as well as games, karaoke and live performances. Boulevard Bar offers a selection of handcrafted cocktails.
Also joining from Celebrity Solstice, The Parlor is an elevated sports and gaming lounge featuring classic board games, billiards and darts, alongside sports on the big screens, craft cocktails, whiskies, shareable bites and over-the-top milkshakes.
Reimagined Sunset Park transforms the ship’s top deck into a park-like outdoor space with a range of activities. New private cabanas offer shaded areas with dedicated attendants. Sunset Park Café serves breakfast and lunch; adjacent Sunset Bar operates throughout the day.
Italian restaurant Trattoria Rossa, debuted this year on Celebrity Solstice, serves Roman cuisine. Fine Cut Steakhouse, from the Edge Series, now joins Celebrity Reflection. Bora brings a Mediterranean-inspired rooftop concept introduced in November 2025 on Celebrity Xcel and known for its lively brunch.
The Retreat, Celebrity Reflection’s exclusive suite class, will feature an enhanced The Retreat Sundeck with an oversized hot tub and a redesigned The Retreat Lounge.
Ship-wide enhancements will also extend to returning venues such as Café Al Bacio, Cellar Masters, Casino, Art Gallery, World Class Bar, Martini Bar, Pool Bar, Passport Bar, the Fitness Center, Camp at Sea, and Luminae and Blu (both exclusive to select guests).

Aug 11, 2026Get an Insider’s Look at Napa Valley’s Busiest Season
If you haven’t been to wine country during harvest season, have you really been to wine country? Vineyards buzz with workers plucking sun-ripened clusters while the winery hums with sorting tables and presses gently extracting precious juice and tannins. In the cellar, the air is perfumed with an intoxicating cuvée of baking bread and grapes as vats alive with bubbling juice are tended to by the winemaker’s watchful eyes. For wine lovers, the experience is nothing short of magical. It also offers a newfound appreciation to the hard work behind every bottle in a way that simply bellying up to a tasting bar never could. Napa Valley has perfected the art of the harvest celebration with festivals, dinners, tastings, hands-on experiences and, of course, the opportunity to literally feel grapes between your toes.
