Cruise News: Seven New Features on Celebrity Xcel

Introducing Celebrity Xcel: What Experiences Await on Board?

Published on 30 April 2025

Celebrity Cruises brings luxury cruising to the next level with guest-first experiences, state-of-the-art spaces and a new slate of food and drink concepts, all debuting on board the upcoming Celebrity Xcel

Embarking on her maiden voyage in November 2025, Celebrity Xcel will be the fifth and final ship in the award-winning Edge Class series, following her game-changer predecessors, Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Ascent. Mirroring the innovative outward-facing design of her sister ships, Celebrity’s newest vessel aims to erase the fine line between the sea and shore with its wide-open decks, sensory-inducing spaces and the brand-signature Infinite Veranda staterooms and suites overlooking endless ocean views! 

Here’s everything we know about Xcel so far…

The Bazaar

Mosaic
Spice
The Market
Chef's Studio

As an evolution of the Edge Class’s Eden, The Bazaar is a multi-level, multi-sensory event venue that aims to bring the world to guests by providing immersive, destination-inspired entertainment and dining experiences. This transformative space will be Xcel’s epicentre of entertainment, offering authentic experiences unique to each day that extend the spirit of the shore to the ship. It gives guests an unmissable opportunity to explore the diverse cultures, flavours, sights and sounds of the destinations they will visit even before they get there.

The Bazaar will feature an ever-changing local market, showcasing engaging displays and products from local artisans, as well as hand-on craft workshops. The markets will accordingly match the theme of the four distinct Caribbean-inspired festivals premiering in this multi-purpose area in 2025, including Carnival, Aqua, Flora/Verde and Viva.

Guests are in for a real treat with a fresh line-up of destination-inspired dining options awaiting at The Bazaar, with the open-kitchen Mosaic restaurant serving reimagined regional dishes and the casual-setting Spice offering a choice of daytime rotating bites and an oceanfront café. At the Mosaic, guests have the chance to experience the industry-first Chef’s Table, where Celebrity’s global culinary team will present a multi-course, locally-inspired menu, perfectly paired with the brand’s excellent selection of wine. And in the Chef’s Studio, guests are invited to master preparing local delicacies in the first-ever destination-inspired cooking classes of Celebrity Cruises at sea!

As Celebrity Xcel sets sail for Europe in 2026, the festivals, markets and culinary experiences in The Bazaar will transform to complement the Mediterranean itineraries on its 2026 cruises.

Aiming to redefine romance at sea, the line’s cutting-edge vessel will launch BORA, which is a brand-first, al fresco dining venue nestled within the intimate Rooftop Garden. This new open-air restaurant combines panoramic ocean views and shareable plates of Mediterranean classics, perfect for a date night that lasts all day long. 

Guests can kick off their day with a lively brunch and a customisable Bloody Mary, then cap off the night with a romantic dinner under the stars – a truly relaxed and elegant dining experience that fully captures the essence of rich Mediterranean flavours and ambience!

And More...

Sunset Bar
Magic Carpet

Celebrity Xcel pushes the limits of imagination further with five more features yet to be unveiled at present, perfectly blending with the guest-favourite highlights on the Edge series ships, such as the Magic Carpet – the world's first cantilevered, floating platform at sea – and the two-story Sunset Bar. 

Celebrity Cruises is launching the new Xcel ‘Dream Makers’ programme, allowing anyone to join and be part of creating the next-generation ship, plus a chance to experience the ship personally!

Stay tuned for updates on the remaining experiences on board the all-new Celebrity Xcel to be revealed soon…
