Celebrity Constellation is a Millennium class cruise ship operated by Celebrity Cruises. She is the co-flagship of the Celebrity fleet, along with Century-class ship Celebrity Century.
She was built at the Chantier de L'Atlantique in St. Nazaire, France. The ship boasts a COGAS power plant of gas turbines and a steam turbine providing up to 60 Megawatts for the electric systems and two 19 MW Rolls-Royce/Alstom MerMaid azimuth thrusters for propulsion. In 2007, she was refitted with the addition of a diesel engine as a fuel-saving measure. The ship can run on any combination of the gas turbines or diesel. In port, she generates electrical power from the diesel.
Awards
Constellation consistently receives top honors from Condé Nast's readers survey, and was ranked by readers as the best large cruise ship in the Condé Nast Traveler Cruise Poll 2007.
