The Millennium Class is a series of four cruise ships operated by Celebrity Cruises, constructed between 1999 and 2002 at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.

Each measures approximately 294 meters in length and has a gross tonnage around 91,000 GT. Notably, this class was among the first cruise ships to utilize a turbo-electric COGAS (Combined Gas and Steam) power plant, enhancing energy efficiency by reclaiming otherwise lost energy.

The Solstice class also introduced AquaClass, a spa-inspired cabin category. The five included ships also feature advanced environmental systems, such as solar panels and energy-efficient propulsion.
