Why Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity Cruises sits in the sweet spot between mainstream and ultra-luxury. The Edge-class ships are the most design-forward vessels in the premium cruise market — think Infinite Verandas, the cantilevered Magic Carpet, and three-story Eden.
With Always Included pricing, your fare covers drinks, WiFi, and gratuities. And if you book a suite, The Retreat gives you an entirely private ship-within-a-ship experience — dedicated restaurant, pool deck, and butler.
It's the cruise line for people who care about design, food, and service — without the stuffiness of traditional luxury brands.

YOUR ROOM AT SEA
Stateroom Guide
From cozy interiors to the two-story Iconic Suite, Celebrity offers more stateroom variety than any other premium line. Edge-class ships introduced the Infinite Veranda — a game-changer.
Interior
InteriorA well-designed interior stateroom with eXhale bedding, USB charging, and a surprisingly spacious layout. Perfect for guests who are out exploring the ship all day.
Ocean View
WindowNatural light and ocean views through a picture window. Same premium bedding and modern design, with the added bonus of waking up to the sea.
Veranda
BalconyCelebrity's most popular category — a private balcony with lounge seating, perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails with an ocean backdrop.
Infinite Veranda
Edge-Class BalconyExclusive to Edge-class ships. The room extends to the edge of the ship with a floor-to-ceiling window that opens to create an open-air balcony — or closes for a larger living space.
AquaClass
Spa StateroomA wellness-focused stateroom with exclusive access to the Spa Cafe, priority spa reservations, and access to the Persian Garden thermal suite. For guests who prioritize wellness.
The Retreat Suite
SuiteCelebrity's luxury-within-luxury concept. Suite guests get exclusive access to The Retreat — a private restaurant (Luminae), a private pool deck, and a private lounge with dedicated butler service.
Iconic Suite
Top SuiteThe pinnacle of Celebrity Cruises. Two stories of cantilevered glass perched above the bridge with panoramic views, a private hot tub, and a terrace the size of most hotel rooms.

ONLY ON CELEBRITY
Signature Experiences
The moments and spaces that make Celebrity Cruises unlike anything else in the premium market.
The Retreat
A ship-within-a-ship experience for suite guests. Private pool, private restaurant (Luminae), private lounge, and dedicated butler service. The most exclusive way to cruise on Celebrity.

Eden
A three-story venue at the ship's stern with floor-to-ceiling windows. By day: a serene lounge. By evening: a performance space with acrobatic shows, craft cocktails, and an immersive "Edenist" experience.
Rooftop Garden
A living garden at the top of the ship with real grass, trees, and a relaxed outdoor bar. Live music, lawn games, and movie nights under the stars.
The Spa
A full-service Canyon Ranch spa at sea with a Persian Garden thermal suite, float therapy, acupuncture, and SEA Thermal Suite — the most comprehensive spa offering in premium cruising.
