Mid-range: AquaClass, with the Blu restaurant and the SEA Thermal Suite or Persian Garden, or Concierge Class on an Edge Series ship. Luxury: The Retreat: a butler, Luminae, a private sundeck and lounge, and at the top the two-bedroom Iconic Suite above the bridge or a two-storey Edge Villa with its own plunge pool. In the Galápagos, Celebrity Flora is all suites.
