Accommodations:
There’s never been a ship as hotly anticipated as the trailblazing Celebrity Equinox, the newest ship from the world’s #1 cruise line (according to the readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine 2009). Her fresh new design makes a distinctive statement in virtually every room, with a refined level of elegance. As you stroll among the expansive decks, you'll experience the rich color palettes illuminated by beautiful natural light, and revel in the extensive amenities and beautiful artwork - all delivered with the attentive service for which Celebrity Cruises is renowned.
Exciting New Spaces from Top Designers
From her magnificent architecture to advances in technology, Equinox leaves traditional cruise ship convention behind. World-class design talents like Adam Tihaney, Wilson Butler and Francis Martin created innovative spaces and a unique trail-blazing look throughout the ship. From the wrap around glass that surrounds the ship to the walls of light in the main dining room, you’ll quickly see why Equinox is unlike any ship ever built.
The vast outdoor pool deck is filled with teak decks and overhead sails, flowing effortlessly into the massive indoor AquaSpa. Further up, you’ll discover the world’s first natural lawn on a ship – the Lawn Club. It’s a perfect spot for relaxing, sunning, or even watching the unique “Hot Glass Show” of professional glass blowers at work.
Equinox boasts ten uniquely designed lounges and bars, including a Martini Bar with an ice-covered bar, CellarMasters wine bar, and Galleria Tastings for enjoying succulent treats and the occasional impromptu fashion show. Michael’s Club and the Passport bar offer superb intimate retreats for taking a break with friends, and there’s always action in the sophisticated Casino. Quasar, our intimate indoor nightclub, is perfect for Atlantis late-night and early morning parties. But the crown jewel is literally on top of the ship – a vast all-white lounge called Sky Observation Lounge where floor to ceiling windows bring you closer to both the sea and sky.
Modern Dining at It’s Best
No less than ten unique dining options offer a variety of pleasures for a wide range of tastes. The Grand Epernay main restaurant features an amazing two-story wine tower along with stunning ocean views, setting the perfect stage for Celebrity’s fresh multi-course meals. Four specialty restaurants include and Asian Bistro, the spectacular Tuscan Grille Italian steakhouse, and the light Mediterranean cuisine of Blu. And for the most elegant meal at sea, spend a night in Murano for an extraordinary evening of world-class dining, superb wines, and modern elegance.
For a more casual meal, our Ocean view café & bar is open virtually all the time, featuring a variety of buffet choices in a breezy open setting. There’s an outdoor poolside grill for lunch and snacks throughout the day. Have a coffee in Café al Bacio, or a healthy snack in the AquaSpa café. Or relax with friends in Bistro on Five. All of it ready for Atlantis, and designed for the way you like to dine.
As with all Atlantis cruises there is never a dress code, and no assigned dining times. Ever!
Let Us Pamper You
We invite you to lose yourself in Equinox’s deeply indulgent AquaSpa. From soothing treatments to the immersive Persian Garden, you’ll find an atmosphere that will caress the senses like never before. Bask in the soothing tranquility of the AquaSpa Solarium, whose indoor lap pool is surrounded by dancing waterfalls and exceptionally comfortable lounge chairs.

Your Stateroom. Reinvented.

Every room features a comfortable bathroom, plenty of closet space, pillow-top bedding, and a fantastic interactive 32-inch television system.
