Celebrity Xcel has arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, introducing the fifth ship in Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series.

“With each new ship, we raise the bar for the ultimate vacation experience – and Celebrity Xcel stands in a class of her own,” said Jason Liberty, chairman and CEO of Royal Caribbean Group.

Celebrity Xcel was thoughtfully designed with our guests in mind to be the happy place of vacationers globally,” added Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises.

Celebrity Xcel features The Bazaar, a three-story space that blends guests’ onboard and in-port experiences through food, activities and live music.

Bora rooftop restaurant transports guests to southern Europe with Mediterranean-inspired classics alongside brunch favorites. At night, Bora serves chef-led tableside dining preparations.

The Celebrity Pool Club sets a new standard for all-day, all-night poolside experience and Attic at The Club is an adult-oriented games lounge open 24/7.

Celebrity’s most expansive entertainment offering to date will offer more variety and more performers with three new shows in The Theatre, two new interactive shows in The Club, and new dance parties.

Celebrity Xcel sails an inaugural season from Fort Lauderdale, offering seven-night itineraries alternating between The Bahamas, Mexico, Cayman Islands, and Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.

In summer 2026, Celebrity Xcel will set sail on her inaugural European season on seven-to 11-night journeys out of Barcelona and Athens.
