'''GTS ''Celebrity Summit''''' is a {{sclass-|Millennium|cruise ship}} owned and operated by [[Celebrity Cruises]] and as such one of the first cruise ships to be powered by more environmentally friendly gas turbines.<ref name=Jordan>{{Citation | last= Jordan |first= Allan E. |title= Celebrity Summit |journal= Ships Monthly |volume= |pages= 50–52 |date= November 2018 }}</ref> Originally named '''''Summit''''', she was renamed with the "Celebrity" prefix in 2008.<ref name=Asklander />

As per the practice with the other ships of her class she included a remembrance in one of her restaurants to an historic early liner in the form of several panels and a bronze statue from the [[Compagnie Générale Transatlantique]] ship {{SS|Normandie||2}}. The statue, which was named ''La Normandie'', had been purchased by Celebrity Cruises from the Miami Beach based [[Fontainebleau Miami Beach |Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel]]. The statue has since been removed from the main dining room during the ship's refurbishment in March 2019.
 
In 2012 she was refitted at a cost of US$16 million which included the creation of extra cabins.<ref name=Jordan/> This increased her double occupancy to 2,158 passengers<ref name=Jordan/> and her [[gross tonnage]] to 90,940.<ref>{{cite web |title=Celebrity Summit: Solsticized and ready to go! |url=http://celebritycruises.tumblr.com/post/16600549251/celebrity-summit-solsticized-and-ready-to-go |publisher=Celebrity Cruises |year=2013 |accessdateaccess-date=10 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921055404/http://celebritycruises.tumblr.com/post/16600549251/celebrity-summit-solsticized-and-ready-to-go |archive-date=21 September 2013 }}</ref>
 
''Celebrity Summit'' spent approximately three weeks in dry dock followed by time in the shipyard in March 2019 having all of her existing cabins and suites refurbished as well as the addition of 30 new cabins which will bring her total capacity to 2,218 (double occupancy).<ref name=Jordan/><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=8760|title=Celebrity Cruises to Refurbish Entire Fleet - Cruise Critic|website=www.cruisecritic.com|language=en-us|access-date=30 July 2018}}</ref>
 
==Operation==
In the summer of 2006 ''Summit'' arrived in Seward, Alaska with a humpback whale dead on her bow.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/21/ap/national/mainD8JKGNBG0.shtml |title=Alaska Cruise Ship Docks With Dead Whale |date=21 August 2006 |work=CBS News |publisher=CBS Interactive Inc |url-status=dead |archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061029172212/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/21/ap/national/mainD8JKGNBG0.shtml |archivedatearchive-date=29 October 2006 }}</ref>
 
On 3 April 2010, passenger Bob Gricius fell overboard and swam for 17 hours to Cayo Lobos, {{convert|3|mi|spell=in}} off the coast of [[Fajardo]], [[Puerto Rico]].<ref>{{cite web |last= Correa Cepeda |first= Carla V. |title= Rescatan náufrago en Fajardo que nadó 19 horas |url= http://www.primerahora.com/noticias/policia-tribunales/nota/rescatannaufragoenfajardoquenado19horas-378189/ |work= Primera Hora |date=3 April 2010 |accessdateaccess-date= 22 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last= |first= |title= Celebrity Summit |publisher= Castles of the Seas |date= |url= http://www.castlesoftheseas.nl/celebrity-summit.html |accessdateaccess-date= 26 January 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last= |first= |title= Cruise and Ferry Passengers and Crew Overboard 1995 - 2019 |publisher= Cruise Ship Junkie |date= |url= http://www.cruisejunkie.com/Overboard.html |accessdateaccess-date= 26 January 2019}}</ref>
 
In March 2017, ''Celebrity Summit'' had an unscheduled dry dock because of a propulsion issue.
