==History==

=== Chandris Group (1988–1997) ===

==== Founding and first ship SS ''Meridian'' ====
[[File:"Meridian" - San Blas Islands, 1993.jpg|thumb|Celebrity Cruises' first ship, [[SS Galileo Galilei|SS ''Meridian'']]]]
Celebrity Cruises was founded in April 1988 as a subsidiary of the [[Greek shipping|Greece]]-based [[Chandris Group]] to operate upmarket cruise ships to [[Bermuda]].<ref name="Plowman">{{cite book|title=The Chandris Liners and Celebrity Cruises|last=Plowman|first=Peter|publisher=Rosenberg Publishing|year=2006|isbn=1-877058-47-5|pages=198–203}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.edumaritime.net/merchant-marine-crew-career/celebrity-cruises|title=Celebrity Cruises – Hospitality, Deck & Engine Careers|work=EduMaritime.net}}</ref> Chandris had been involved in cruise traffic since the 1960s,<ref name="Ulrich" /> and during the late 1980s the company operated in the United States market under the brand name Chandris Cruises. Chandris Fantasy Cruises targeted the lower end of the cruise passenger market, with fleets consisting of second-hand [[ocean liner]]s.<ref name="NineMSN">[http://travel.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=85733 NineMSN: Cruising: Celebrity Cruises] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071224175343/http://travel.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=85733 |date=24 December 2007 }}, retrieved 29. 11. 2007</ref> 

Celebrity Cruises came into existence when, in April 1988, [[Home Lines]], at the time one of the world's leading premium cruise lines, was sold to [[Holland America Line]]. Home Lines' ships had held two of the five contracts offered by the [[Government of Bermuda]] to cruise lines, giving the ships priority berthing arrangement and unlimited access to sail to the islands in exchange for the ships sailing to Bermuda between April and October each year. Although these contracts were highly valued, Holland America Line withdrew the former Home Lines ships from this service, leaving an opening for two new ships to gain access. Chandris wanted to acquire the contracts, but the Government of Bermuda was only willing to award them to upmarket cruise lines, which Chandris Fantasy Cruises was not.<ref name=Plowman />

To gain the Bermuda Government contracts, Chandris created Celebrity Cruises and immediately began negotiating with the Bermuda Government in April 1988. As a result of the negotiations, Celebrity Cruises was awarded the contract for two ships for five years beginning in 1990<ref name=Plowman /> To fulfill the contract, Chandris Fantasy Cruises' {{SS|Galileo||2}} was rebuilt at [[Lloyd Werft]], Germany in 1989, re-entering service as the [[SS Galileo Galilei|SS ''Meridian'']] for Celebrity Cruises in February 1990.<ref name=Plowman /><ref name="MM" />

Celebrity Cruises adopted the Chandris "Χ" (the Greek letter [[Chi (letter)|Chi]], standing for "Chandris"), which was slightly stylized for their logo. The new line advertised itself as a “Luxury Cruising by Design", with the strategy of offering an upscale product with mass-market pricing.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |title=Celebrity Cruises: Different by Design |url=https://maritime-executive.com/magazine/celebrity-cruises-different-by-design |access-date=2022-11-06 |website=The Maritime Executive |language=en}}</ref>  The ships would have refined interiors, destinations and dining, which included a partnership with famed chef [[Michel Roux]], a unique thing for a cruise line at the time.<ref name=":5" /> Quoted by then chairman John Chandris, "We will feature comfort and quality, not glitz and glitter."<ref name=":5" />

==== First new-builds: ''Horizon'' and ''Zenith'' ====
[[File:Zenith at Ocho Rios.jpg|left|thumb|Celebrity's first class of new builds included the 1992 built ''Zenith'']]
Celebrity Cruise's second ship [[MV Pacific Dream|''Horizon'']], which had been ordered in 1988 as a replacement for {{SS|Amerikanis||2}} in the Chandris Fantasy fleet, was transferred to Celebrity Cruises fleet, entering service in May 1990.<ref name="Plowman" /><ref name="Horizon">{{cite web|url=http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/horizon_1990.htm|title=Fakta om Fartyg: M/S Horizon (1990)|language=sv}}, retrieved 29. 11. 2007</ref> It would be the line's first purpose-built new build.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Meyer-Werft: 25 years in the cruise industry |date=2011 |others=Nils Schwerdtner, Meyer Werft |isbn=978-3-7822-1051-5 |location=Hamburg |oclc=773365000}}</ref> In late 1990 Celebrity Cruises placed an order for a sister ship of the ''Horizon'', delivered in 1992 as {{MV|Zenith||2}}.<ref name="Plowman" /><ref name="FoF">{{cite web |url=http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/celebrity_cruises.htm |title=Celebrity Cruises |access-date=13 November 2008 |last=Asklander |first=Micke |work=Fakta om Fartyg |language=sv}}</ref>

==== ''Century'' class debut ====
[[File:Mercury at Cabo San Lucas 1.jpg|thumb|The ''Mercury,'' third ship in the ''Century'' class]]
Celebrity ordered a trio of newbuilds at Meyer Werft, known as the ''Century'' class, with the first ship, the ''[[Marella Explorer 2|Century]]'' debuting in 1996, followed by the ''Galaxy'' and ''Mercury''.<ref name="FoF" /> These would be the last ships designed under the Chandris family management.

=== Royal Caribbean Group (1997–present) ===
In 1997, the Chandris family sold its interests in Celebrity Cruises to [[Royal Caribbean Cruise Line]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.celebritycruises.com/aboutceleb/heroSingleTxt.do;jsessionid=00000Fs8tZgXKjyvw8YvB-J2nBv:12hdebdrn?pagename=history |title=About Celebrity: History |access-date=4 April 2008 |publisher=Celebrity Cruises }}</ref> leading to the formation of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (later [[Royal Caribbean Group]]) as a holding company to keep both brands separate and the renaming of Royal Caribbean Cruise Line to [[Royal Caribbean International]].<ref name="Plowman" /> Following the delivery of the ''Mercury'', the lines first ship, the ''Meridian,'' was sold to Singapore-based Sun Cruises.

==== ''Millennium'' class debut ====
[[File:GTS Summit - Celebrity Cruises - RCCL.JPG|thumb|''Summit'' in Celebrity's short lived second generation livery]]
Between 2000 and 2002, Celebrity took delivery of a quartet of new ships, the first [[gas turbine]]-powered cruise ships, and aptly named ''Millennium''-class ships {{ship||Millennium|ship|2}}, {{ship|GTS|Infinity||2}}, {{ship|GTS|Summit||2}} and {{ship|GTS|Constellation||2}}.<ref name="FoF" /> The new class of ship introduced a new hull livery, with dark blue hull, gold stripes, and red accents on the mast and funnel. The livery was short Iived, and after a few years, would revert to Celebrity's original white hull, dark blue stripe color scheme.<ref name="Plowman" />[[File:Celebrity Millennium at Kurushima Strait (cropped) (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|{{ship||Celebrity Millennium}}, the lead ship in the {{sclass|Millennium|cruise ship|4}} in reverted classic Celebrity livery.|left]]
