Celebrity Cruises

I love cruising, whether a port-intensive sailing to Greece or a short getaway to the Bahamas, so within the past year, I sailed on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Carnival ships to try and uncover the best cruise line for Bahamas cruises. 

Each line is known for something different. Carnival, for example, is known for its fun, lively atmosphere with plenty of activities geared toward partygoers and families. On the other hand, Celebrity provides a more refined and sophisticated experience, with an emphasis on fine dining and world-class service. 

Flying across the world for a cruise might not be everyone’s idea of vacation. With a 17-hour time change and more than 24 hours of travel time to just reach the cruise embarkation port, this vacation might not appeal to anyone.

If you're looking for a chance to save on a Celebrity Cruise, its Black Friday sale is the perfect opportunity to book everything from cruise fares to shore excursions. 

Celebrity Cruises has announced that a new ship class is in the works.

Last week while at the CruiseWorld conference in Fort Lauderdale, Laura Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises, announced there will be a new class of ships for the cruise line. As reported in Travel Weekly, this new project is called "Project Nirvana."

Having sailed on the newest ships launched by premium cruise lines Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises, I've had the opportunity to gain firsthand experience at what makes each brand desirable. 

Celebrity's Edge Class ships boast modern, upscale designs, with an emphasis on luxury and fine dining. On the other hand, Princess' brand-new Sphere Class shines with its focus on a wealth of onboard activities, casual dining, and the line's innovative MedallionClass. 

I recently sailed on Celebrity Beyond for the President’s Cruise, and while I am a loyal Royal Caribbean cruiser, I will certainly return to Celebrity without hesitation. Celebrity Cruises is a hidden gem among the Royal Caribbean brand.

Celebrity Cruises provides a more modern and elevated cruise experience. You won’t find a FlowRider or zip-line onboard their ships, but you will find amazing cuisine, stunning entertainment, and a world-class crew.

Celebrity Cruises' suite program offers an unparalleled experience with luxurious accommodations and top-tier amenities. 

From the 2,850-square-foot Iconic Suite to the more modest Sky Suites, each suite provides guests with an elevated level of comfort. Whether you're enjoying time in your suite or taking advantage of the exclusive amenities, every detail of Celebrity's suite program is created to create a memorable voyage. 

Celebrity Cruises is among one of the most popular cruise lines in the world. Though not the largest, they have a modest fleet of 14 ships offering impressive itineraries around the world. By late 2025, they're expected to welcome another Edge Class ship to their fleet, increasing the number of operational vessels from 14 to 15. 

The 2026-2027 season for Celebrity Cruises is poised to be unforgettable, featuring over 600 cruises to more than 280 destinations across 70 countries on all seven continents.

The cruise line just announced a brand-new world cruise that will take passengers on a 110-night voyage across the globe, sailing to 55 destinations across 15 countries. In addition, the upscale cruise line has unveiled expanded routes to Asia, Europe, and South America.
