Presentation of the Celebrity Xcel

 

Built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, the Celebrity Xcel is the fifth vessel in Celebrity Cruises’ Edge series, launched in November 2025. The ship measures 1,073 ft in length and 128 ft in width. Spanning 17 decks, it can accommodate up to 3,260 passengers in 1,646 cabins. An onboard crew of 1,400 ensures attentive, personalized service. Among its standout features is the Magic Carpet, a unique moving platform that travels along the ship, offering panoramic views and transforming into a restaurant, bar, or boarding area depending on its location, as well as the Rooftop Garden, which has been expanded to provide even more space for relaxation and outdoor shows. One of the major new attractions on the Celebrity Xcel is The Bazaar, a three-level immersive area designed to plunge guests into cultural experiences, themed festivals, and culinary discoveries inspired by port stops. Another notable innovation is Mosaic, a new restaurant that spotlights refined regional cuisine and also houses the Chef’s Studio at Mosaic—the first cooking school on a Celebrity Cruises ship.

 

 

The Celebrity Xcel, a Next-Generation Eco-Friendly Ship

 

The Celebrity Xcel is the first ship in the fleet to be equipped with a tri-fuel engine capable of running on methanol, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and marine diesel, thereby reducing its environmental impact. Like all Edge-class vessels, it also features an exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS) that eliminates 98% of sulfur dioxide emissions, along with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that cuts nitrogen oxide emissions by 97%. Celebrity Cruises is actively committed to marine ecosystem protection through its Save the Waves program, which is founded on the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling waste.

 

 

Presentation of the Cabins and Suites on the Celebrity Xcel

 

The Celebrity Xcel offers a wide range of modern cabins and suites designed with guest comfort in mind.

 

Interior Cabins

These cabins are crafted to maximize space, making them perfect for travelers seeking practical accommodations. Ranging from approximately 172 to 194 sq. ft, they feature two twin beds that can be converted into a double, a flat-screen TV, a cozy seating area, and well-thought-out storage. A modern bathroom equipped with high-end toiletries completes the space to ensure optimal comfort.

 

Oceanview Cabins

Offering between about 194 and 237 sq. ft, the Oceanview cabins come with expansive panoramic windows that provide breathtaking views of the sea and abundant natural light. They include two twin beds that can be joined to form a king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, a seating area, and optimized storage. A modern bathroom with premium bath products rounds out the accommodations for maximum comfort.

 

Veranda Cabins

These cabins feature a private balcony, providing an ideal outdoor space to take in the maritime scenery. Their total area, including the balcony, ranges from approximately 247 to 269 sq. ft. They are furnished with king-size beds outfitted with eXhale® bedding and a Cashmere™ mattress for ultimate comfort. In terms of amenities, they offer the same features as both the Interior and Oceanview cabins.

 

Infinite Veranda Cabins

These contemporary cabins are designed with sliding doors that create a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, ensuring uninterrupted sea views while maintaining guest privacy. Their size, also between about 247 and 269 sq. ft, and amenities are comparable to those of the Veranda cabins, including king-size beds with eXhale® bedding and a Cashmere™ mattress.

 

AquaClass Cabins

Ideal for wellness enthusiasts, AquaClass cabins offer exclusive access to the spa. They measure between approximately 247 and 269 sq. ft and include a private balcony of about 43 sq. ft.

Concierge Class Cabins

Measuring from about 247 to 269 sq. ft, these cabins combine comfort with high-end amenities.

Suites

The suites on the Celebrity Xcel come in several categories, offering a refined experience complete with a dedicated butler service. The Sky Suites, approximately 593 sq. ft in size, include a private balcony of around 140 sq. ft, a king-size bed with signature Cashmere™ bedding, and a bathroom equipped with a spacious spa tub and a shower.

Onboard Activities and Entertainment on the Celebrity Xcel

 

The Celebrity Xcel offers an extensive range of activities and entertainment options designed to enrich every guest’s experience. Among its standout features, the expanded Rooftop Garden provides even more opportunities for outdoor relaxation and entertainment. This lush garden is the perfect spot to unwind, watch live performances, or enjoy an outdoor movie screening under the stars.

Like its sister ships in the Edge class, the Celebrity Xcel features the Magic Carpet—a multifunctional platform that shifts its position and function throughout the day. When located on a lower deck, it facilitates embarkation and disembarkation; on higher decks, it transforms into an elegant lounge or restaurant offering breathtaking panoramic ocean views.

A major new attraction onboard is The Bazaar, a three-level multisensory space that blurs the lines between the ship and its destinations. The Bazaar hosts festivals inspired by local cultures, artisan markets, and regional culinary experiences, providing an even deeper immersion into the visited ports.

For adults seeking tranquility, the adults-only Solarium offers a pool and hot tubs in a serene atmosphere beneath a glass dome. The main pool, surrounded by expansive decks overlooking the ocean, invites relaxation while offering truly stunning views.

Wellness enthusiasts can take advantage of the ship’s Spa, which provides a full range of revitalizing treatments. A state-of-the-art fitness center makes it easy to maintain an exercise routine with cutting-edge equipment. The ship also features a Casino for those feeling lucky, while cultural workshops and enriching lectures are organized for guests eager to learn more about the ports of call.

Young travelers are well-catered for through the Camp at Sea program, which offers a multitude of activities for children and teenagers, supervised by qualified professionals. Finally, luxury boutiques onboard provide an exclusive shopping experience at sea.

 

 

Restaurants, Bars, and Lounges

 

Onboard the Celebrity Xcel, Celebrity Cruises presents a varied culinary offering that combines the signature restaurants of the Edge class with innovative new concepts that celebrate the flavors of the visited destinations.

Among the flagship venues, the Fine Cut Steakhouse is renowned for its premium meats, while Raw on 5 specializes in fresh seafood. The Grand Bistro exudes an authentic Parisian ambiance, and the Murano Restaurant offers a modern take on classic French cuisine. Italian cuisine aficionados will appreciate the Tuscan Grille, which celebrates bold flavors, and The Voyage—created by acclaimed chef Daniel Boulud—presents refined gastronomic dishes in an intimate, elegant setting.

The Celebrity Xcel also debuts several new concepts, including Mosaic—a chef’s counter-style restaurant serving reinvented dishes inspired by the regions visited. The Chef’s Studio at Mosaic marks Celebrity Cruises’ first onboard culinary school, offering interactive workshops where guests can learn to prepare local specialties connected to the ship’s port stops. The Bazaar, a three-level multisensory space, features festivals inspired by the destinations, local artisan markets, and regional culinary experiences. Within The Bazaar, Spice offers a new relaxed dining concept with a selection of authentic dishes inspired by the ports, served against a backdrop of panoramic glass walls that frame unbeatable views.

The bars and lounges onboard the Celebrity Xcel provide a variety of distinct atmospheres. The Martini Bar & Crush, located in the heart of the Grand Plaza, serves a range of classic and contemporary martinis under an impressive artistic chandelier. The Sunset Bar, positioned at the rear of the ship, showcases a redesigned space for an even more immersive and sociable experience. The Magic Carpet Bar—a suspended platform along the side of the ship—allows guests to sip cocktails while enjoying unrivaled ocean views. For craft beer enthusiasts, the Craft Social offers over 40 selections of artisanal beers, creative cocktails, and a variety of comforting à la carte dishes, all in a sophisticated pub setting.
