| Silhouette‘s return outlined

CELEBRITY Cruises’ Celebrity Silhouette has departed the United Kingdom’s shores for its first voyage with British guests in over 15 months.

Silhouette departed Southampton on Sun, commencing her long anticipated return to the United Kingdom’s waters for a series of staycations around the country’s coastline.

Following a multi-million dollar refit, Silhouette now boasts The Retreat, an exclusive open-air hideaway available to Suite guests only – one of many ship-wide upgrades as part of her modernisation under The Celebrity Revolution.

The more than US$500 million investment also includes an overhauled Fitness Centre, which boasts state-of-the-art new cardio machines, weight equipment from Technogym, and live-streamed Peleton classes.

An augmented reality luxury restaurant, Le Petit Chef, will see an animated 3D character appear on the guest’s plates, and prepare their meal.

“Our much anticipated summer season marks a real vote of confidence in the UK cruise industry and the excitement among crew and guests is palpable,” said Vice President & Managing Director EMEA Jo Rzymowska.

“Most importantly, we can’t wait to treat our guests to the ultimate luxury staycation and give them the opportunity to relax and unwind while looking out at the stunning British coastline.”

Silhouette will sail with a fully vaccinated crew and guests, aged 18 and over, who will also be required to show proof of a negative PCR test taken within three days of sailing.

Guests aged 24 months to 17 years old will take an antigen test at the terminal prior to embarkation.
