Dining Experience

Celebrity Cruises is acclaimed for culinary excellence, featuring menus crafted by a Michelin-starred chef. The main restaurant, Oceanview Cafe, and Eden offer complimentary dining, while Le Petit Chef combines dining with animation. Specialty venues include Fine Cut, Raw on 5, and Le Grand Bistro.

Entertainment & Activities

Celebrity elevates entertainment with innovative shows at The Theatre, rooftop movies at the Rooftop Garden, and transformative performances at Eden. The resort-style pool deck, Canyon Ranch SpaClub, and A-list guest speakers create a sophisticated atmosphere. With 17 decks to explore, there's always something new to discover.

Staterooms & Suites

Celebrity pioneered the Infinite Veranda on Edge-class ships — a transformable space that converts from living room to open-air balcony at the touch of a button. The Retreat suite experience includes an exclusive sundeck, restaurant, and lounge with butler service. Celebrity Xcel accommodates up to 3,250 guests.

Good to Know

This large ship offers plenty of space to explore. Download the cruise line's app before boarding for easy navigation and reservations. Consider a drink package or specialty dining package if you plan to dine outside the complimentary venues regularly. As a newer ship, you'll enjoy the latest technology and freshly designed public spaces.

"Our experience on Celebrity Xcel was absolutely incredible. The ship is beautiful and well-maintained, and the ports of call were amazing. We booked all our excursions through Vacation Booker and saved a fortune compared to the cruise line prices."

"This was our third cruise on Celebrity Xcel and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful and the itinerary was perfect. We used Vacation Booker for a private snorkeling tour that was the highlight of the entire trip."

"First-time cruisers and we chose Celebrity Xcel. The ship exceeded all expectations. We loved how easy it was to book our shore excursions in advance, and the return-to-ship guarantee gave us total peace of mind."
