About Celebrity Cruises

Founded 1988 · Premium modern luxury with standout cuisine and design

Celebrity Cruises occupies the premium tier — a clear step up from mainstream lines like Royal Caribbean and Carnival, but without the price tag or formality of true luxury lines. The result is a line built around sophisticated design, some of the best food at sea, and a calmer, more adult-leaning atmosphere than its mainstream siblings.

Founded in 1988 and now part of the same parent company as Royal Caribbean, Celebrity built its reputation on culinary partnerships and award-winning cuisine, and its Edge-class ships — Celebrity Edge, Apex, Beyond, Ascent, and Xcel — introduced design features like the reverse-facing Magic Carpet platform that have become industry talking points.

Itineraries lean toward the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Galápagos (Celebrity also operates dedicated small expedition ships there). It's a strong fit for couples and mature travelers who want a genuinely elevated experience without stepping all the way up to a luxury line's price point.
