Celebrity Cruises Reveals Celebrity Xcel

Celebrity Cruises has announced that the fifth ship in its award-winning Edge Series will be named Celebrity Xcel.

The new cruise ship will boast modern two-storey villas with private plunge pools and infinite verandas, a Daniel Boulud fine-dining restaurant at sea, an expanded Rooftop Garden, a multi-level, multi-terraced Sunset Bar; The Retreat, an exclusive resort-within-a-resort with a two-story sundeck and the return of the Magic Carpet, a floating bar soaring above the sea, offering uninterrupted vistas.

Laura Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises, says, “The Edge Series has shattered preconceived notions of cruising. I am thrilled to announce our next bold step as a brand with Celebrity Xcel.

True to her name, this next ship will ‘Xcel’ beyond her sister ships with entirely new experiences, yet to be revealed, but that will change the game all over again.”

Celebrity Xcel will make her debut in November 2025 in the Caribbean, sailing her inaugural winter season from Fort Lauderdale on 7-night voyages alternating between the Bahamas, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands, and Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.
