Celebrity Cruises is bringing its signature brand of modern luxury to the rivers of Europe with the launch of its first-ever river cruise ships, the Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker. Set to debut in 2027, these two new vessels promise to redefine the river cruising experience; and guests are so excited for this new adventure, that the first cruises sold out in six minutes to those with priority access.
The Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker are designed to be the most innovative ships on the river, with a patent-pending design that offers more space and brings guests closer to their destinations. A key feature is the revolutionary open decks, providing the most usable outdoor space of any river ship. Guests can also look forward to unique amenities like the Magic Edge, the first-ever cantilevered dining pods that allow guests to dine while "floating above the river," as well as an infinity-edge plunge pool.
Inside, the ships are just as impressive. The staterooms feature a king-sized bed, and the balconies are spacious, with an innovative design that maximizes storage and comfort. Suite guests will enjoy a dedicated, on-demand butler and exclusive perks like private dining and priority shore excursion booking. The ships will also feature eight restaurants and bars, including Celebrity favorites like the Martini Bar, Sunset Bar, and Café Al Bacio.
With 33 seven-night sailings on the Rhine and Danube rivers available for the inaugural season, Celebrity is ready to bring a new, elevated experience to the heart of Europe. As Celebrity Cruises President Laura Hodges Bethge said, "We know guests are going to love sailing Europe’s Rhine and Danube rivers The Celebrity Way on our fleet of elevated, cutting-edge ships.”
