Celebrity Cruises to Launch River Cruises in 2027 with a 10-Ship Deal

30 Jan 2025

Celebrity Cruises is stepping into the world of river cruising with a bold move: the launch of 10 state-of-the-art river ships, with bookings set to open later this year. Marking the beginning of a new chapter for the premium cruise line, these river cruises are set to debut on Europe’s most iconic waterways in 2027.

A New Wave of River Cruising Excellence

Celebrity Cruises promises to bring the sophistication and cutting-edge design of its celebrated Edge series ocean liners to the rivers. Guests can expect stunning 360-degree views and a travel experience that seamlessly blends luxury and immersion in Europe’s rich landscapes and culture.

Celebrity River Cruises president Laura Hodges Bethge shared her enthusiasm: “We’ve set the bar high on the ocean with our award-winning food, impeccable hospitality, and innovative design. Now, we’re thrilled to bring these same exceptional experiences to the rivers. Our itineraries will combine luxury and local charm, creating journeys unlike anything else available.”

Every moment aboard Celebrity’s new river ships will be designed to immerse travellers in the beauty of their journey. Whether lounging in a stylish stateroom or enjoying a drink on deck, guests will be surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

Jason Liberty, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean Group, said: “With nearly half of our guests already enjoying or planning a river cruise, this new venture allows us to deepen their loyalty and keep them engaged with Celebrity’s world-class vacation offerings. This is just the next step in delivering on our promise to provide a lifetime of extraordinary holidays.”

Destination-Focused Itineraries

The debut sailings will take place on Europe’s most renowned rivers, offering destination-rich itineraries that combine local culture, authentic cuisine, and luxurious travel. These new ships are not just vessels but floating gateways to explore the heart of Europe in style.
