Celebrity Xcel to debut seven new spaces

When she debuts in November 2025, Celebrity Cruises’ newest ship, Celebrity Xcel, will introduce seven new spaces and countless new experiences. From pool clubs to alfresco restaurants, Celebrity Xcel will boast Celebrity Cruises' biggest entertainment lineup ever. 

Let’s take a look at what will be onboard: 

1. Welcome to Celebrity Pool Club, where pool days are so good, you’ll never want them to end. Dive in with more shade, more personalised service, more entertainment, and some unexpected treats. 
2. Discover more ways to relax than ever before at The Spa on Celebrity Xcel. Unwind in Celebrity Cruises’ first-ever Hydra Room, a new therapeutic H2O experience in the SEA Thermal Suite. 
3. Soak up your daily dose of sunshine at the new outdoor Vitamin D Deck. In the line’s largest spa at sea, you can choose from over 120 treatments, therapies, and experiences to help find the best version of yourself.
4. Go up to the Attic at The Club, where it’s game time anytime. Whether you’re shooting pool, playing darts or aiming for the top of the leaderboard on your favourite arcade classics, this is the place to get your game on. 
5. It’s part museum, part retail therapy. The minute you step inside the Celebrity Flagship Store, you step into Celebrity Cruises' story. Discover interactive experiences and curated exhibits. 
6. Celebrity Xcel won’t just bring your customers to some of the world’s best places. It’ll bring those places along for the ride. With The Bazaar, the lines between ship and shore are no longer blurred. 
7. Celebrity Cruises is taking brunch through the roof at the new alfresco restaurant, Bora. With the best sea views from the top of the ship and an over-the-top Bloody Mary bar, this is more than a meal, it’s a celebration. 

Celebrity Xcel will sail her inaugural season from Fort Lauderdale, offering seven-night itineraries alternating between the Bahamas, Mexico, the Cayman Islands, Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. In summer 2026, she will set sail on her inaugural European season, where guests can immerse themselves in the Mediterranean like never before on seven to eleven-night journeys out of Barcelona and Athens, including all-new overnight stays in Madeira, Portugal.
