Celebrity Xcel is the newest evolution of Celebrity’s award-winning Edge Class and she brings some seriously exciting upgrades! If you love stunning design, incredible food, modern entertainment, and adult-friendly spaces, this ship takes everything guests already adored and pushes it even further. Here’s everything you need to know before you sail!
Celebrity Xcel keeps the class’s iconic look with panoramic ocean views, open spaces, and that modern-luxury vibe, but introduces seven brand-new venues found only on this ship. From Celebrity Flagship, a space that is part museum of Celebrity history and park store with all the Celebrity merch you could want, to the energy of the new Celebrity Pool Club, and the stylish late-night vibes of The Attic at The Club, Xcel feels familiar but elevated in all the right ways. Even longtime Celebrity cruisers will find tons of new corners to explore.
One of the best parts of sailing an Edge-class ship is how the spaces evolve and Xcel introduces even more flexibility. The Bazaar, a new venue exclusive to this ship that is replacing Eden, is the perfect example: this space transforms daily to immerse you into the culture of the ports you are visiting. It feels like wandering through a lively festival with artisan goods, tasting experiences, live demonstrations, and pop-up entertainment that change throughout the day. Every visit feels different, making it one of the most dynamic new spaces on Celebrity Xcel.
Food lovers, this is your ship. Xcel introduces Mosaic, Celebrity’s newest food concept focused on global flavors and modern presentation, along with the relaxed elegance of brunch at Bora. But don’t worry, your Celebrity favorites aren’t going anywhere! You’ll still find the four main dining rooms, your favorite pool-side grab-and-go spot, Mast Grill, classic specialty venues, and bars like Craft Social, perfect for grabbing a drink or catching the game. It’s the best mix of brand-new experiences and returning classics.
Xcel turns up the entertainment with high-energy venues like The Attic, a brand-new late-night comedy and music space that brings a cool, intimate vibe. The always-popular Martini Bar returns as the heartbeat of the ship’s nightlife, complete with the legendary chandelier shows. The Theatre is where Celebrity Xcel brings the big energy. Think jaw-dropping LED visuals, incredible performers, and shows that feel more like concert experiences than traditional cruise entertainment.
Celebrity Xcel is home to the largest spa in the entire fleet, featuring expanded thermal suite areas, new treatment rooms, and beautifully designed relaxation spaces. Whether you want a full spa day or just a quiet place to reset, this is one of the most impressive wellness offerings at sea.
Xcel even has a hidden venue known only as IYKYK, and no, I’m not spoiling it! It’s one of those “you have to see it yourself” experiences that adds a sense of mystery and discovery to the ship.
Celebrity Xcel blends the best of the Edge class with innovative new venues, upgraded experiences, and thoughtful touches everywhere you turn. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a returning Celebrity fan, this ship delivers a fresh, modern, and unforgettable sailing experience.
Celebrity Xcel will be sailing 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida through mid-April 2026 where she will reposition to Barcelona to sail 7+ night Eastern and Western Mediterranean itineraries!
