Celebrity Cruises Brings Big-Ship Energy to Europe’s Rivers
The wait is over, cruise lovers. Celebrity Cruises is officially stepping onto Europe’s rivers, and they’re doing it in signature Celebrity style: bold, beautiful, and a little bit groundbreaking.
Ahoy happy sailors!
Starting in 2027, the Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker will sail the Rhine and Danube, bringing all the wow-factor of Celebrity’s award-winning ocean fleet to the waterways of Europe. Think open decks, sleek design, indulgent dining, and staterooms that feel more like boutique hotel suites than cabins.
More Space, More Views
These ships aren’t your average riverboats. With a patent-pending design, Celebrity has created the most open outdoor spaces on the river, complete with a top-deck bar and grille, cozy lounge zones, and even an infinity plunge pool. The standout? Magic Edge, the first-ever cantilevered dining pods, where you can savor regional cuisine while floating over the river.
Staterooms That Redefine Comfort
Every stateroom comes with king-sized beds, intuitive storage, and a bright, airy feel. Balcony lovers will swoon over the Skylight Infinite Balcony Suites, while suite guests enjoy the perks of a personal butler (yes, there’s even a “Butler Chat” app for on-demand service).
Foodies, Rejoice
Celebrity is turning up the flavor with eight dining venues, including fan favorites like Martini Bar, Sunset Bar, and Café Al Bacio. Expect destination-inspired menus, pastries fresh from local bakeries, and wait for it, the only 24/7 dining options on the river. Midnight snackers, you’re welcome.
Immersive Itineraries
With 33 seven-night sailings, these river cruises go beyond the postcard views. Guests can sip wine in Austria, soak in Budapest’s thermal baths, or cycle along the Danube’s riverbanks. Overnight stays and multiple-port days mean even more time to explore.
Priority Access Is Open
Want in? Starting now, you can place a fully refundable $500 deposit to lock in your stateroom. Just don’t wait too long—availability is limited, and something tells us these sailings are going to book faster than a Martini Bar cocktail disappears on formal night.
Celebrity Cruises calls this “river cruising, The Celebrity Way.” We just call it exciting!
