GTS Millennium is the lead ship of the Millennium Class of cruise ships, operated by the Celebrity Cruises line. Her sister ships are the Constellation, Infinity, and Summit.
She was built at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in St. Nazaire, France. When launched in 2000, Millennium was the world's first ship to use a turbo-electric COGES power plant.
Millennium has a restaurant which contains wooden panels originally used in the RMS Olympic (sister ship to the RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic, both ill-fated), removed and preserved when that ship was sold for scrap in 1936. Other sources of food include the 2 level Main Dining Room, the buffet, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner (consisting of pizza, sushi, pasta, among things) as well as an ice cream area.
Sources of entertainment include the Celebrity theater, in which musical shows, comedians, or big-screen movies can be seen. The theater is also used for gathering people on excursions, as well as informative talks. Another source is the Cinema, located on the third deck. This is used for informative talks as well as daily movies.
