We're Changing The Game Again

Introducing a new ship that excels into a class of its own. Celebrity Xcel℠ combines the greatest hits of our Edge® Series—including all your favourites—with entirely new experiences that will change the game all over again. Making its debut in the Caribbean in November 2025, Celebrity Xcel will take the tropics to breathtaking new heights. In the meantime, stay tuned as we reveal more exciting details over the coming months, from visionary new spaces to delicious new food and drink concepts.

Unique Feature

The Bazaar

Celebrity Xcel doesn't just bring you to some of the world's best places. It brings those places along for the ride. With The Bazaar, we're no longer just blurring the line between ship and shore. Were erasing the line completely. From the culture, flavors, sights, and sounds of the destinations you'll visit to the local festivals they're famous for, we give you more to explore than ever before.

Features

For those happiest when connecting to new cultures through food, new destination-inspired dining options in The Bazaar will delight palates with local cuisines. An open kitchen concept, Mosaic, will serve reimagined and elevated dishes, inspired by the regions Celebrity Xcel is sailing, enhancing guests’ appreciation of the incredible places they have visited.

Main Dining

Main dining is reimagined with not one, but four complimentary restaurants to choose from. Cosmopolitan, Normandie, Cyprus, and Tuscan each offer a distinctive design and signature dishes inspired by the iconic regions we visit.

The Magic Carpet®

Dine, drink, and soar above the sea on the world's first cantilevered, floating platform. Magic Carpet® isn't just one magical venue—it's several—a bar, lounge, restaurant, even a gateway to our reimagined tenders that seamlessly whisk you to your destinations in comfort.

The Bazaar comes alive to blend guests’ on board and in port experiences in an elevated, authentic and unique way throughout sailings; from a market featuring local artisan products and hands-on craft experiences, to destination inspired festivals specific to each itinerary, regionally inspired culinary experiences, and unforgettable entertainment.

Cadets can also participate in activities spread throughout various venues, including Lawn Club games, campouts, and movie nights.

Shipmates - Ages 3-5
Young cruisers that are fully potty trained can enroll as Shipmates at our Camp at Sea program, where they’ll work on their art skills at the Creation Station, learn new camp songs, and interact with other kids under the supervision of our experienced youth staff.

Camp at Sea is the only fully customizable kids cruise program in the industry. With over 500 activities to participate in, our schedule changes every sailing depending on the interests of our young cruisers. From arts and recreation to science and technology, we cover all types of subjects and hobbies, making sure every kid (no matter their interests), feels entertained and engaged during their family cruise.

During our unique art activities, kids will create precious souvenirs and a number of masterpieces they will cherish long after their cruise has ended.

For more active kids, there’s a wide range of games and challenges onboard to sharpen their skills and teach them the importance of teamwork. From modern twists on popular camp games to our Challenge Series that engages mind, body, and silliness—there’s something for everyone.
