Celebrity announces $55 million Century refurbishment

Italian shipyard Fincantieri got the nod from Celebrity for a $55 million makeover designed to incorporate on Century the most popular Millennium-class features. Century will emerge on June 2, 2006, from a five-week drydock period at Fincantieri with 314 new verandas, 14 new suites, more ConciergeClass staterooms, a new specialty restaurant, and other amenities.

Lido-deck casual dining will get a Sushi Cafe, made-to-order Pasta and Pizza Bar, and small ice cream parlor. A martini bar will offer more than 30 variations on the theme, while outside aft a new bandstand and tapas bar will offer romantic sailaway experiences.

Rounding out the upgrades are enhancements to Internet capabilities, the art gallery, kids' facilities, and spa.
