Millennium is the flagship of the Millennium-class cruise ships,
operated by Celebrity
Cruises line. Her
sister ships areConstellation, 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 COGAS power
plant. Combined gas and steam (COGAS) is the name given to marine compound
powerplants comprising gas and steam turbines, the latter being driven by steam
generated using the heat from the exhaust of the gas turbines. In this way,
some of the otherwise lost energy can be reclaimed and the specific fuel
consumption of the plant can be decreased.
Our next port of call was in Japan.
