WE DIDN’T FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE, WE BUILT IT.

We didn’t just build a ship. We built the vacation you’ll always remember. The restaurant you’ll never forget. The date night so good it lasts all day long. The pool day to outshine all other pool days. We built new ways for you to explore the world before you even get there. New chances for you to restore like never before. A new check mark on your bucket list. We built your happy place. Say hello to Celebrity Xcel.

Our newest ship debuts in November 2025, and we can’t wait to show you more, so stay tuned: There will be lots more coming in the months ahead. 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

Sailings are now open for booking. Reserve your Celebrity Xcel vacation now, and be one of the first guests to experience the next evolution on the high seas.

Celebrity Xcel reached a major milestone on January 18, floating out of dry dock at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. The float out ceremony celebrated the completion of the ship’s exterior, bringing Celebrity Xcel one step closer to welcoming guests. The innovative ship will also advance Royal Caribbean Group’s decades-long commitment to sustaining the planet with the first tri-fuel capable engine, representing an important steppingstone on the company’s journey to Destination Net Zero, its vision for net-zero emissions by 2050. 

Be part of creating the next ship on your bucket list. Join the Dream Makers, a team of vacationers who will get the chance to help us elevate Celebrity Xcel into a class of its own. This ship is going to be your happy place, so we can’t make all the final decisions without you. Test, try, vote, and share your thoughts. You could even win a spot on the Celebrity Xcel Naming Sailing later this year. Sign up now to play your part: Celebrity Xcel Dream Makers begins February 8.
