🚢 Introducing Celebrity Xcel: A New Era of Cruising Begins

By Michelle Marks - Dragon Wolf Travel

If you thought Celebrity Cruises couldn’t get any better, think again. The newest ship in the Edge® Series—Celebrity Xcel—is set to debut in November 2025, and it's already making waves.

From all-new venues to next-level wellness, entertainment, and poolside vibes, Celebrity Xcel is redefining modern cruising. Whether you’ve sailed with Celebrity before or you’re considering your first voyage, this ship is packed with reasons to get excited.

🏝️ Where Is Celebrity Xcel Sailing?

Celebrity Xcel will kick off its journey from Fort Lauderdale, offering 7-night Caribbean itineraries to top destinations like the Bahamas, Mexico, Cayman Islands, Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. In summer 2026, it heads to Europe, offering 7- to 11-night sailings from Barcelona and Athens.

Want to be among the first to sail? A 4-night preview sailing is available before the official debut.

✨ What’s New Onboard?

Celebrity Xcel introduces a new wave of elevated experiences designed to bring more fun, relaxation, and surprises to your time at sea.

💦 Celebrity Pool Club

A reimagined pool deck offering chilled towels, card games, sunscreen stations, shaded loungers, and private cabanas with personalized service. On the last sea day of each Caribbean cruise, the deck transforms into “The Poolest Day Ever” with Caribbean music, pop-up shows, drinks, games, and evening pool parties.

🎮 The Attic at The Club

An adults-focused arcade and lounge with retro games like Pac-Man and Golden Tee, plus pool, darts, foosball, karaoke, and golf simulation—perfect for fun at sea.

🧖 The Largest Spa in the Fleet

An interactive retail experience focused on wellness and skincare. With 120+ treatments, a full salon, and new wellness features like:

The Hydra Room, with massaging jets and heated loungers

A Vitamin D Deck, exclusive to Thermal Suite guests

🛍️ The Flagship Store

Part museum, part boutique—this onboard shop features Celebrity memorabilia, trivia, and customizable gear like robes, cocktail kits, and more. These items are only available on Celebrity Xcel.

🔁 Elevated Returning Favorites

While Celebrity Xcel brings fresh new experiences, it also carries forward beloved features from its award-winning Edge® Series—refined and elevated for this next-gen ship:

🛍 The Bazaar

This dynamic marketplace blends boutique shopping, artisan finds, and interactive pop-ups near the heart of the ship. It’s more than a retail space—it’s a destination in itself.

🌟 The Magic Carpet

This cantilevered, moving platform offers stunning ocean views while serving different purposes at each deck level—whether as a tender embarkation area, a chic bar, or an open-air dining space.

🍽 Eden

A multi-level venue that evolves throughout the day—coffee and lounging by morning, culinary adventure by night. Expect garden-inspired dining, mixology, and immersive entertainment in a living, breathing space.

🎭 The Theatre

Edge Series ships are known for pushing the boundaries of onboard entertainment. With 3D projection mapping, rotating stages, and cutting-edge performances, the Xcel’s theatre promises spectacle and emotion.

🌅 The Retreat

Celebrity’s all-suite experience returns in full luxury. Private sundeck, lounge, and dedicated service await those looking for the most exclusive and elevated escape at sea.
