Cova Cafe, Millennium and Infinity
Millennium Class, Celebrity Cruises

Wilson Butler Lodge (now WBA) designed the Theaters, Grand Foyers and circulation spaces for Celebrity's new Millennium Class ships - Millennium, the class' flagship, and its sister ship Infinity.

The Cova Cafe, a branded coffee bar, is a 120-seat, 3200 s.f. central space in the three-story Grand Foyer abroad Celebrity Cruises Millennium class ships. The original Cova Cafe, built in 1756 near the famed La Scala Opera House and still a meeting place for fashionable Milanese society, served as WBA's model for this shipboard version.

Authentic Cova artifacts such as candy molds, candy boxes, and ice buckets displayed on the walls reveal layers of Cova history. Images include posters of Cova patrons and interiors of yesteryear. The chairs and tables throughout the Cafe reflect the style of traditional, high-end European cafes, with their rich coffee specialties and savory pastries.

The adjacent Tea Room is smaller and more intimate. Within this private, quiet setting, guests may relax at tables covered in genuine Cova gold linens and linger over freshly baked pastries and an exotic collection of flavorful teas. This 3,200 s.f. area overlooks the Grand Foyer and provides seating for 120 people.
