Celebrity Constellation
 

How do you create the most innovative all-gay cruise in history? Start with #1 rated cruise ship in the world. Create an exotic five-island Caribbean itinerary sailing from San Juan. Then add the magic of Cirque du Soleil to an all-new entertainment lineup. In March 2005, seven days of sensory overload await you aboard Celebrity's stellar Constellation for a cruise unlike any other.

In 2004, the readers of Conde Nast Traveler voted Constellation the top cruise ship in the world. We decided that #1 is a terrific place to start as we re-invent the all-gay cruise for 2005 with an all-new itinerary, new entertainment options, and new ways to have fun, both onboard and off. Whether you've traveled with us many times or are new to the experience, we know you'll find our 2005 exotic Caribbean Cruise the perfect ticket for adventure, freshly designed for your absolute pleasure.

Sail with us from beautiful San Juan to the enchanting islands of St. Martin, St. Lucia, Grenada, and Aruba. We've custom designed the itinerary to highlight the best these destinations have to offer, while giving you ample time onboard to enjoy our sailing masterpiece.

Your adventure begins in gay-friendly San Juan, perfect for spending a few days before sailing. We then sail to St. Martin, with a full day to enjoy the beaches, and cosmopolitan charm of this two-country island. Spend a day exploring dramatic St. Lucia, then marvel at the unspoiled beauty of Grenada. After a relaxing day at sea, we arrive in sun-drenched Aruba, the playground of the Caribbean for a full day and nighttime adventure
 

The Best Ship Sailing Today. Period.
Breathtaking. There's no other way to describe your first impression of Constellation. A three-story atrium welcomes with the ambience of a contemporary grand hotel. Spacious modern lounges invite you to relax with new friends. And comfortable, tasteful staterooms provide a luxurious resting place to call home after a long day out.

Outdoors you'll find the best pool deck  ever.  There's ample space for sunning, relaxing, and dancing on the beautiful tiered teak decks. Or just enjoy the delights of the pool, hot tubs, and spectacular indoor AquaSpa complex.

Celebrity's welcoming, professional staff is trained to anticipate your every desire. Whether it's the champagne welcome, a poolside massage, or an afternoon sorbet parade, you'll discover the details that make Celebrity stand apart from all other cruises. With one staff member for every two guests, you can truly unwind, knowing your every last need will be tended to - and always anticipated.

The Bar at the Edge of the Earth

Constellation will be the first cruise ship in the world to feature a space and talent designed by Circque du Soleil. The Bar at the Edge of the EarthT will be a surreal atmosphere that Celebrity and Cirque describe as "a place that invites guests, for two hours every evening, to cross the mirror to another universe."

Here, surreal characters will emerge for two hours each evening to greet cruise guests as old friends, not cruise patrons. Several characters are being created by Cirque exclusively for Celebrity, with each designed to "invite guests on a journey to a place beyond imagination,"

St. Georges, Grenada

The capital of St. George's, is one of the most picturesque cities in the Caribbean. A horseshoe-shaped harbour surrounds a pastel rainbow of dockside warehouses and the red-tiled roofs.

Oranjestat, Aruba

  The Most Innovative Entertainment at Sea
You'll experience more entertainment, in more places, than ever before on Constellation. The sensational three-story theater is perfect for our wide range of shows including Gay Comedy Showcase, singers direct from Broadway, unique performance shows, Celebrity's elaborate productions, and perhaps a surprise superstar guest. Or two.

And Constellation is the first ship in the world to feature a unique interactive production by Cirque du Soleil.

Around the ship, you'll find seven bars and lounges featuring live music and comedy shows. If you're feeling luck, have a go in the world-class casino. We'll feature first-run movies and the best of the recent gay cinema in the onboard movie theater. And the sophisticated intimacy of Michael's Club creates the perfect setting for the ultimate piano bar.
