This cruise line couldn’t have a more appropriate name. You’ll immediately feel like a pampered celeb when you’re handed a glass of champagne as you step aboard. On this fleet of eight, with four elegant new ships launching through 2012, you can cruise anywhere from Alaska to Australia. While all the ships welcome kids and families, you might want to reserve this upscale vacation for a second honeymoon or a girlfriends’ getaway.

What’s special Enjoy Specialty Dining at restaurants like Tuscan Grille and Silk Harvest, where you can splurge on a savory multicourse meal in a more elegant and private setting—as long as you reserve in advance.

What’s new Celebrity Solstice, the line’s first new ship since 2002, set sail late last year and offers a truly state-of-the-art, modern cruise experience (Celebrity Equinox is due to launch this summer). An ocean view comes with 90 percent of staterooms, and 85 percent have verandas. The Lawn Club on the top deck is a half-acre recreational area with real, growing grass and activities like lawn bowling and a putting green.

Cool for kids The Fun Factory play area for kids ages 3 to 12 features toys, crafts, computers and interactive games. Celebrity has partnered with LeapFrog to provide kids with learning-based toys as well as new art, sports and science-and-nature programs. For ages 13 to 17, there’s Guitar Hero, a dance club and a coffee bar. Hot for moms Extraordinary de-stressing awaits at the AquaSpa, with treatments based on Middle Eastern, Asian and European spa practices. Or work out in the fitness center, with its ocean-view, floor-to-ceiling windows.
