Celebrity Galaxy Cruise Ship

The Galaxy was one of three Century-class cruise ships that Celebrity commissioned as a part of a significant expansion. It moved the company from smaller ships and luxury cruises to premium-class cruises, offering a mixture of higher-end accommodations and populist enjoyment. The crux of the move focused on maintaining excellent standards for food and dining services onboard vessels like the Galaxy, which can hold close to 2,000 passengers.

The accommodations include expected amenities for a Celebrity cruise ship of the Galaxy's type. Several restaurants, a theater, a casino, an AquaSpa and fitness center, two pools and a top-of-the-ship observational lounge can all be found within the ship. The Galaxy can accommodate family vacations, with an area set aside for teenagers and a playroom for younger children.

The Celebrity Galaxy's cruise itinerary focuses on the Caribbean in the first half of the year and the Mediterranean in the second half, with a pair of transatlantic cruises between them. The Caribbean circuit emphasizes the southern islands, with San Juan serving as the launch point for stops in Barbados, Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts and the British Virgin Islands. Mediterranean cruises focus on Italy and Greece, with brief visits to Istanbul and Ephesus in Turkey.

Part of the process of securing a cruise on the Galaxy is reaching its port of departure, which is Puerto Rico for Caribbean trips and Rome on the Mediterranean trips. Transatlantic cruises require plans for getting to and from departure ports as well.
