Celebrity Cruises
Quick Answer: Step into a world where every sunset is a masterpiece, every meal a Michelin-inspired delight, and every destination a curated discovery. Celebrity Cruises redefines modern luxury with Edge-class ships featuring the revolutionary Magic Carpet, premium dining experiences, and destination-focused itineraries that transform vacations into journeys of self-discovery and indulgence.
Is Celebrity Right for You?
Imagine sipping a handcrafted cocktail at the Magic Carpet — a cantilevered platform floating above turquoise waters — as you sail toward Santorini's whitewashed cliffs. Celebrity Cruises crafts experiences for discerning travelers seeking modern luxury without stuffiness: affluent couples discovering romance, wellness enthusiasts craving serenity, and explorers hungry for cultural immersion.
The revolutionary Edge Class ships (Edge, Apex, Beyond, Ascent) feature infinity verandas that blur the line between stateroom and sea, rooftop gardens under open sky, and Eden — a multisensory space spanning three decks where farm-to-table dishes pair with panoramic views. At the SEA Thermal Suite, rejuvenation becomes ritual. At The Retreat, suite guests discover a ship-within-a-ship experience with exclusive Luminae dining and dedicated concierge service.
Celebrity appeals to those who appreciate the art of travel: clean lines, sophisticated atmosphere, and cuisine that rivals land-based fine dining. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary in the Greek Isles or exploring Alaska's wilderness with expert naturalists, Celebrity ensures every detail is crafted for you.

The Celebrity Experience
Celebrity cruises feel different from the moment you board. The design aesthetic whispers luxury without shouting it — clean lines, curated art collections, and spaces that flow with intuitive elegance. Edge Class ships pushed boundaries that others are still catching up to: outward-facing design that brings the sea into every space, infinite verandas with disappearing walls, and the Magic Carpet that transforms from specialty restaurant to tender platform as it glides along the ship's exterior.
Dining ascends to art form here. From the Main Restaurant's rotating fine-dining menus to Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud, every meal reflects Celebrity's commitment to culinary excellence. The Retreat offers suite guests an even more elevated experience with exclusive lounges, private sundeck, and priority access throughout the ship.
What cruisers say: "From the infinity veranda to the rooftop garden, every moment felt like a dream tailored just for us."
