Celebrity Xcel among eight ships in Europe
Following its introductory Caribbean season in late 2025 from Port Everglades, Celebrity Xcel will sail an inaugural Europe season in summer 2026, offering Celebrity's first overnights in Madeira, Portugal.
Then, departing from PortMiami for the first time, Celebrity Xcel returns to the Caribbean for a second winter 2026-27 season of seven-night cruises.
In Europe, Xcel will be among three Edge-class vessels (together with Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Apex), all part of an eight-ship deployment spanning more than 100 destinations with 59 overnight port stays.
The Italian Riviera, Greek Isles, France, Spain and Portugal will be featured on Celebrity Equinox, which is joining Celebrity Xcel and Celebrity Ascent in the Mediterranean with voyages from Barcelona, Lisbon and Civitavecchia (Rome). There are new Piraeus to Ravenna sailings on Celebrity Eclipse, plus seven-night cruises from Piraeus on Celebrity Infinity and 10- to 11-night Rome and Ravenna sailings on Celebrity Constellation.
Celebrity Apex will return to Southampton for a third season with Arctic Circle and Norwegian Fjords itineraries. From Amsterdam, Celebrity Eclipse sails to Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
Longest Iceland season
Celebrity Silhouette will operate the line's longest Iceland program with more seven-night sailings from Reykjavik than ever before and the opportunity to catch the 2026 Solar Eclipse on Aug. 12.
Grand voyage
A record length of cruise for Celebrity, the 'grand voyage' will journey to 55 destinations across 15 countries, from Canada to Hong Kong, for 110 nights with no repeated ports aboard the newly refurbished Celebrity Solstice. Celebrity President Laura Hodges Bethge said the odyssey was inspired by 'our guests’ love of back-to-back sailings.'
Nine Caribbean ships
In winter 2026/27, nine Celebrity ships will be in the Caribbean, including year-rounders Celebrity Beyond departing from both Miami and Port Everglades and Celebrity Reflection's three- and four-night getaways from Everglades to Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bimini, Nassau and Key West.
From Port Everglades, 10-and 11-night southern Caribbean saiings on Celebrity Ascent feature the Panama Canal. Also from Everglades are six-and eight-night cruises on Celebrity Silhouette and nine- to 12-night escapes on Celebrity Eclipse.
Celebrity Apex returns to Port Canaveral and Celebrity Summit sails from Tampa, both offering seven-night cruises to Key West and The Bahamas. Departing from San Juan, Celebrity Constellation visits the southern Caribbean on seven-night sailings.
Alaska
Three Alaska ships include Celebrity Edge's third season, along with Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Summit, plus cruise-tours to destinations like Anchorage, Talkeetna and Denali.
Asia Pacific
Celebrity Millennium will be operating from Japan's brand-new Narita terminal, situated closer to Tokyo city center, and will stay overnight there.
The line will return to Hualien, Taiwan for the first time since 2018. Open-jaw cruises between Seoul, South Korea and Tokyo take place during Gion Festival, Golden Week and Nebuta Festival.
In Southeast Asia, Celebrity Solstice itineraries include overnights in ports like Penang, Malaysia and Phuket, Thailand.
Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Solstice will sail from Sydney and Auckland to destinations like Mystery Island in Vanuatu, Tauranga, Lifou and Loyalty Island.
South America/Antarctica
Celebrity returns to South America with new voyages visiting Patagonia and Antarctica on Celebrity Equinox.
And though the line sold its two Galápagos yachts to Lindblad Expeditions, Celebrity Flora continues to offer all-inclusive seven- to 16-night Galápagos expeditions year-round.
