Celebrity Cruises
Premium cruising, reimagined for the design-forward traveler.
Celebrity Cruises occupies the premium tier of ocean cruising — above the mass-market lines, below ultra-luxury, and increasingly hard to distinguish from either. The Edge Class ships (launched from 2018 onward) represent some of the most architecturally ambitious ships ever built, with innovations like the Infinite Veranda, the floating Magic Carpet platform, and Eden — a three-deck living garden that defies easy category.
Celebrity's Always Included fare bundles drinks, WiFi, and gratuities into every sailing by default. The Retreat suite program adds Luminae (an exclusive restaurant), a private deck, and butler service. And the fleet spans 15 ships across more destinations than almost any other line.
