Cruise News: Seven New Features on Celebrity Xcel

Introducing Celebrity Xcel: What Experiences Await on Board?

Updated on 09 July 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!

Elevated Entertainment

The Bazaar Festivals
Celebrity Edge Theatre

Never-ending opportunities for fun and showtime last all day long on board Celebrity Xcel, debuting an expansive and diverse roster of unrivalled entertainment with more variety and performers than ever before! Guests can look forward to the three all-new theatre shows to be staged by Celebrity’s largest theater cast, enhanced by cutting-edge technology and production.


And as the night falls, there’s a range of evening entertainment options to suit every style and interest. Guests can sing along to live music in the bars and lounges across the ship. The Club offers two new immersive shows to elevate the excitement as the evening’s events play out. From electronic dance music to country music, there’s plenty of genres that invite guests to groove the night away on the pulsating dance floor. A choice of 80’s glitz and glam and destination-inspired festivals also add to the endless vibrant themed nights to enjoy!

Celebrity Pool Club

Poolest Day Ever

Set to deliver more ways to chill and unwind all day long, the Celebrity Pool Club joins the already impressive line-up of experiences on board Celebrity Xcel. Once done soaking in sunshine and taking swimming laps, guests can recharge on a plush sunbed beneath a modern rooftop design offering enough shade for cooling down. They can also take advantage of the convenient pool valet, with a stock of chilled towels, card games and sunscreen, plus ample space to safely store their personal items. 

The best part? The final cruising day of each Caribbean itinerary is made all the more exciting as the Celebrity Pool Club transforms into the Poolest Day Ever, bringing the ultimate tropical island vibes onboard with Caribbean-inspired live music, DJ-spun beats, pop-up shows, fun-filled pool games and refreshing drinks. And as the night turns up, the electric energy continues at the Shine the Night poolside party.
