While Celebrity doesn't operate the largest cruise ships at sea, they're committed to keeping their fleet as modern as possible. Regardless of the size, you will find an impressive number of restaurants, bars, cabin categories, and amenities compared to other fleets.
Whether you're seeking a ship that offers the best of what Celebrity has to offer or an intimate experience that's more focused on the destinations, you're sure to find the perfect ship for your next voyage.
Before diving into Celebrity's ships by size, it's important to talk about the different markets they operate in. The first is your traditional, mainstream line with sizeable vessels that operate around the globe. The second is comprised of just one Xpedition ship that sails exclusively to the Galapagos Islands.
That said, let's take a look at Celebrity's cruise ships from biggest to smallest! This was last updated in June 2025.
Celebrity Xcel Size
Celebrity's newest ship, Celebrity Xcel, is scheduled to enter service in November 2025. She'll retain many of the Edge Class favorites, while also receiving new upgrades.
The Bazaar, for example, is a new multi-level space that will host unique festivals, entertainment, and culinary offerings. It's meant to introduce passengers to experiences inspired by the ports on their itineraries.
Celebrity Ascent Size
Celebrity's newest ship at sea, Celebrity Ascent, entered service in November 2023. Though part of the award-winning Edge Class, Celebrity Ascent features brand-new and enhanced experiences, including a redesigned art gallery, expanded Martini Bar menu, and exclusive menu at Le Petit Chef.
She splits her time between the Caribbean and Europe.
Gross registered tonnage: 141,420
Guest capacity (double occupancy): 3,260
Length: 1,073 feet
Width: 128 feet
Celebrity Beyond Size
Celebrity Beyond has more in common with Ascent than the two earlier Edge Class vessels. Lengthening the ship by about 65 feet and adding an extra deck gave Celebrity more space to expand and add venues that can't be found on Celebrity Edge or Apex, such as Le Voyage.
The infamous Sunset Bar is also larger, giving guests more space to enjoy a handcrafted beverage while admiring the passing views. Passengers who book a lavish suite within The Retreat will enjoy a private sun deck that's approximately 40% larger than the version on Edge or Apex.

Celebrity Edge Size
Celebrity Edge is the Edge Class' namesake ship. The vessel was the first to feature the innovative Magic Carpet, as well as infinite verandas, which are roughly 23% larger than balcony cabins found on Solstice Class ships.

Celebrity Apex Size
Though Celebrity Apex was ready to enter service in 2020, the grand debut was delayed until the following year due to the pandemic. Although she's newer than Celebrity Edge, Celebrity's press kits reveal that the gross tonnage is actually less.
Today, the ship offers itineraries around the Caribbean and Europe, ranging from 4 to 14 nights. She's become a favorite in Southampton during the summer, giving guests an upscale way to explore the Norwegian Fjords and the Canary Islands.
Gross registered tonnage: 129,500

Length: 1,004 feet
Width: 128 feet
Celebrity Reflection Size
Celebrity Reflection was the last ship built for the Solstice Class. Compared to other ships in the class, guests will find a smaller Sky Lounge. It was intentionally built smaller to make way for additional suites.
Those who want to experience the upscale Celebrity brand while visiting the award-winning Perfect Day at CocoCay should consider a cruise onboard Celebrity Reflection, as the ship makes 3-, 4-, and 5-night voyages to Royal Caribbean's private island.
Gross registered tonnage: 125,366
Guest capacity (double occupancy: 3,046
Length: 1,047 feet
Width: 123 feet

Length: 1,047 feet
Width: 121 feet
Celebrity Eclipse Size
Before Celebrity Eclipse's maiden voyage, the vessel sailed from Bilbao, Spain, to Southampton, England, to return 2,000 British tourists who were unable to fly home due to the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland, which caused the airspace over the United Kingdom to close.
Along with Celebrity Solstice and Equinox, Celebrity Eclipse offers hot glass classes onboard for an additional charge.
Gross registered tonnage: 121,878
Guest capacity (double occupancy): 2,852
Length: 1,041 feet
Width: 121 feet

Captain Kate McCue, the first American woman to be captain of a mega cruise ship, was the captain of Celebrity Equinox before moving to command Celebrity Edge. Though no longer onboard, you'll be in good hands sailing on Equinox to South America, the Bahamas, and Europe.
Gross registered tonnage: 121,878
Guest capacity (double occupancy): 2,852
Length: 1,041 feet
Width: 121 feet
Celebrity Solstice Size
At the time, Celebrity Solstice was the largest cruise ship to be built at a German shipyard; however, the title was lost to Disney Dream a few years later. It was also the only ship in the world to feature the Lawn Club, which had real grass at sea! Now, it's a staple on all Solstice Class ships.
However, Celebrity Solstice is the first ship to undergo a major renovation as part of Celebrity's Solstice Class revitalization. The $250 million project will bring new venues to these beloved ships, while also refreshing the staterooms and other public areas. 4 new cabin categories are also being added, as well as a brand-new sundeck for suite guests.

Celebrity Millennium Size
Celebrity Millennium is the namesake ship of the Millennium Class, which followed the Century Class. As all vessels in the Century Class have been sold to different lines, Celebrity Millennium is the oldest operating ship in Celebrity's fleet — though she isn't the smallest.
If you're curious about what ships like Celebrity Galaxy, Mercury, and Century were like, consider booking a cruise with Marella. Their fleet is also home to two former Royal Caribbean vessels: Splendour of the Seas and Legend of the Seas.
Today, Celebrity Millennium sails year-round in Asia, offering guests the ability to visit destinations like Tokyo, Japan; Hiroshima, Japan; Busan, South Korea; Phuket, Thailand; Colombo, Sri Lanka; and more.

Guest capacity: 2,218

Though one of the older ships in Celebrity's fleet, Solstice Class upgrades can be found onboard, including Sushi on Five and Tuscan Garden. Unlike Edge Class and revolutionized ships, The Retreat suite enclave onboard doesn't have a private sun deck.
Gross registered tonnage: 90,040
Guest capacity (double occupancy): 2,184
Length: 965 feet
Width: 106 feet
Celebrity Infinity Size
The second Millennium Class ship to enter Celebrity's fleet was Celebrity Infinity. In 2023, she became the first Celebrity ship to sail year-round in Europe.
Although there are some European lines, such as Costa and MSC Cruises, that stay in the region year-round, the introduction of Celebrity allows loyal guests to continue working their way up the Captain's Club ranks.

Guest capacity: 2,170
Length: 965 feet
Width: 106 feet
Celebrity Flora Size
In 2019, Celebrity launched its first-ever all-suite Xpedition vessel. Sailing exclusively to the Galapagos Islands, booking a cruise onboard Celebrity Flora is different than the experience on their standard cruise ships.
It's an all-inclusive trip that includes airport transfers, tours, meals, beverages, and more. Yep, that means you won't have to worry about purchasing drink packages, Wi-Fi, etc.!
Gross registered tonnage: 5,739
Guest capacity: 100
Length: 333 feet
Width: 56 feet
