Celebrity Reflection Gets a Major Makeover: 13 New Experiences Coming in 2027
From a redesigned pool club and new restaurants to spectacular entertainment spaces, Celebrity Reflection is getting a major refresh.
Celebrity Cruises is getting ready to introduce a new-look Celebrity Reflection, and there’s quite a lot to look forward to when the ship returns to the Caribbean in March 2027.
The Solstice Series ship is being given a major modernisation, with 13 new spaces joining the line-up. The changes include new outdoor areas, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, bringing some popular concepts from across the Celebrity fleet on board.
And if you like the sound of spending your Caribbean holiday moving effortlessly between the pool, a good meal and a cocktail or two, Celebrity Reflection could be worth keeping an eye on.
A brand-new poolside experience
The redesigned Celebrity Pool Club will be at the heart of the ship’s outdoor spaces, creating a relaxed tropical setting for guests to enjoy throughout the day.
There will be two dedicated bars, more seating, plush daybeds and additional shade, alongside daily activities and poolside events.
But the big news for hungry sunseekers is the arrival of two new-to-fleet poolside dining concepts.
Orange Peel Bar & Grille will serve smash burgers and other grilled favourites, alongside frozen cocktails. Guests can order while relaxing poolside or from nearby seating.
Then there’s Tacos del Sol, an open-air Mexican-inspired concept featuring a build-your-own taco stand with a selection of options and fresh toppings.
So, basically, you could spend the afternoon by the pool without having to stray too far for lunch. We approve.
The Grand Plaza takes centre stage
One of the most dramatic additions will be the three-storey Grand Plaza, an Edge Series-style venue designed to become the entertainment heart of Celebrity Reflection.
A new centrally located Martini Bar will feature a huge suspended chandelier, complete with its own chandelier show, alongside live performances and music throughout the day and into the evening.
It certainly sounds like the sort of space designed to make an entrance.
More entertainment, games and cocktails
Celebrity Reflection will also welcome several popular venues that previously debuted on Celebrity Solstice.
The Boulevard Lounge will offer all-day entertainment in a 125-seat venue centred around duelling pianos and interactive programming.
Guests can take part in games, karaoke and live performances throughout the day, while the nearby Boulevard Bar will serve handcrafted cocktails before or after the entertainment.
Meanwhile, The Parlor will provide a dedicated space for sports, games and a little friendly competition.
The elevated sports and gaming lounge will feature hundreds of classic board games, billiards and darts, alongside big screens for watching sport.
There will also be craft cocktails, Celebrity Cruises’ award-winning whiskies, shareable bites, comfort-food favourites and some rather extravagant milkshakes.
Sunset Park brings a little more green space to sea
At the top of the ship, Sunset Park will transform the outdoor deck into a park-like space designed for relaxing and socialising.
Guests will be able to enjoy activities including meditation and lawn games, as well as outdoor films and live music, all with the Caribbean and open ocean providing the backdrop.
New private cabanas will offer shaded spots to relax, with dedicated attendants on hand.
Nearby, Sunset Park Café will serve casual bistro-style breakfast and lunch, while the adjoining Sunset Bar will offer handcrafted cocktails throughout the day.

Three new places to eat
Foodies won't be left out of the makeover either, with three new dining experiences coming to Celebrity Reflection.
Trattoria Rossa, which debuted on Celebrity Solstice this year, will bring Roman cuisine to the ship. Guests can expect classic meat dishes and freshly made pasta, including dishes prepared tableside, alongside Italian-inspired cocktails and Celebrity Cruises’ wine selections.
Then there’s Fine Cut Steakhouse, the Forbes Travel Guide-rated restaurant originally introduced on the Edge Series.
The restaurant will serve 30-day dry-aged steaks and fresh seafood, accompanied by the elevated service associated with Celebrity Cruises.
For something with a Mediterranean flavour, Bora will offer a rooftop dining experience overlooking the ocean.
First introduced on Celebrity Xcel in November 2025, Bora changes character throughout the day. Brunch will feature customisable cocktails, while evenings will focus on chef-led tableside dishes and shareable plates.
The Retreat gets an upgrade too
The changes aren't limited to the ship's new public spaces.
Guests staying in The Retreat, Celebrity Reflection’s suite-class accommodation, will have access to an enhanced The Retreat Sundeck, complete with an oversized hot tub.
The Retreat Lounge will also be redesigned.
Across the rest of the ship, returning venues including Café Al Bacio, Cellar Masters, the Casino, Art Gallery, World Class Bar, Martini Bar, Pool Bar, Passport Bar, Fitness Centre and Camp at Sea will also receive enhancements.
Luminae, exclusive to guests staying in The Retreat, and Blu, exclusive to AquaClass guests, will also remain part of the ship.
Caribbean cruising from Fort Lauderdale
Once the makeover is complete, Celebrity Reflection will sail year-round in the Caribbean, departing from Fort Lauderdale.
The itineraries will range from three- and four-night Caribbean escapes visiting Key West and The Bahamas, through to six- and eight-night cruises calling at destinations including Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Turks & Caicos and Grand Cayman.
There’s also a special sailing already on the calendar, with the 2027 President’s Cruise set to take place aboard the revitalised Celebrity Reflection from 10–14 May 2027.
With 13 new spaces, a redesigned pool area, new restaurants, entertainment venues and plenty of places to relax outdoors, Celebrity Reflection is certainly getting more than a simple lick of paint.
The refreshed ship is scheduled to set sail in March 2027, bringing a new take on Caribbean cruising to Celebrity’s Solstice Series.
Until next time, keep dreaming of your next cruise.
