Believing that the dining experience is an essential part of a quality cruise vacation, Celebrity custom-built galleys to create the finest gourmet cuisine at sea, preparing everything from scratch, using only the finest, freshest ingredients. Celebrity established then, and maintains today, a vital relationship with renowned Master Chef Michel Roux, who has served as the line's revered culinary and wine consultant since its founding. Roux designs the line's menus and culinary program, and supervises training of the fleet's executive restaurant staff. His award-winning culinary expertise and contributions quickly established Celebrity as a leader in offering guests an extraordinary dining experience at sea.

The first ships introduced to the Celebrity fleet - Horizon and Zenith - successfully combined contemporary design elements with the elegant icons of traditional cruising. The next generation of Celebrity ships, the Century-class - Century, Galaxy and Mercury - reinforced the line's reputation for integrating high style, spacious interiors, attention to detail, and a commitment to innovative technological applications to enhance guest convenience, comfort, recreation and safety.
