Celebrity Cruises' $140 million program to "Solsticize" its fleet will now include a new bedding program called eXhale. The new bedding will first be installed on Celebrity Infinity when it completes a dry-dock renovation on Dec. 3.

The eXhale mattresses are designed exclusively for Celebrity in partnership with Reverie, which specializes in luxury bedding. Hand-made in the U.S. with natural raw materials such as bamboo and sustainable natural rubber, the mattresses are almost entirely recyclable and biodegradable. The mattress features removable, hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial and dust mite-resistant covers, and a breathable plush pillow top with an air flow design that helps circulate air through the mattress and keep guests cool as they sleep.

Guests in Penthouse Suites, Royal Suites, Celebrity Suites and Sky Suites will sleep on a premium Reverie mattress. Those guests can have their mattress tailored to their liking, with a range of options from extra-plush to extra-firm.

The eXhale bedding program also will feature custom-embroidered, 100 percent Egyptian cotton linens in all staterooms and suites.

During its dry-dock renovation, Celebrity Infinity also will get AquaClass staterooms and the Blu restaurant, Qsine, Wi-Fi throughout the ship, the Celebrity iLounge that sells Apple products, the ice-topped Martini Bar and Crush, the Bistro on Five creperie, Café al Bacio and Gelateria, Cellarmasters wine bar with the wine serving system, new verandas added to Celebrity Suites, additional ocean-view and inside staterooms and an expanded collection of original contemporary art

Each of the Millennium-class ships will be Solsticized at Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport, Bahamas. Celebrity Summit will undergo the work in January, followed by Celebrity Millennium in May. For more information, call (877) 394-8130 or visit www.celebritycruisedestinations.com.
