Reasons to
Cruise with Celebrity

Unmissable Scenery

Sail through Europe’s most iconic waterways with front-row views from expansive open decks and floor-to-ceiling windows. Glide past vineyard-lined hills, fairytale castles, and imperial capitals as you journey along the Danube and Rhine. From the Wachau Valley to Budapest lit up at night, every sailing is designed for maximum daylight cruising so you never miss a moment of the rivers’ legendary landscapes.

Insightful Itineraries

Celebrity River Cruises take you straight into the heart of Europe’s great cities and hidden gems. With one curated excursion included in every port, you might cycle the riverbanks of the Danube, unwind in Budapest’s thermal baths, or enjoy private wine tastings in Austria. Expert local guides ensure each day feels personal and authentic, while premium add-on experiences give you the freedom to explore even deeper.

Modern River Ships

Introducing The Celebrity Compass and The Celebrity Seeker: ships designed to transform the way you river cruise. Every stateroom features a king-size bed and spa-style bathroom, with innovative options like the Skylight Infinite Balcony Suite, where the ceiling window opens to the stars. Sleek exteriors, lightweight hulls for smooth sailing even in low water, and generous public spaces (including an infinity-edge pool and top-deck restaurant) make these the most modern and sustainable ships on Europe’s rivers.

Award-Winning Dining

With six dining options and menus that evolve with the itinerary, Celebrity brings its acclaimed culinary experience to the rivers. Start your day with locally baked pastries, enjoy regionally inspired dishes at dinner, or opt for all-day casual choices whenever hunger strikes – even 24 hours a day. Distinct wines, crafted cocktails, and familiar favourites from venues like Café al Bacio, Sunset Bar, and the Martini Bar ensure every drink is an experience in itself, always included in your fare.

CELEBRITY RIVER CRUISE PRICES & DEPOSITS

Celebrity’s 2027 river cruises will launch with fares that include meals, drinks, Wi-Fi, and daily excursions. Prices will vary depending on itinerary, but every journey offers unbeatable value for an all-inclusive luxury experience.

With prices starting from £2,233 per person, Celebrity brings its award-winning, all-inclusive style to Europe’s rivers, offering everything from elegant River View staterooms to spacious Balcony Suites with butler service. Every sailing includes meals, drinks, Wi-Fi, and daily excursions, ensuring luxury and value come as standard.

REVIEWS FROM CELEBRITY CRUISE CUSTOMERS

Celebrity River Cruises FAQs

Can I book excursions with Celebrity River Cruises?

Yes. One curated excursion per port is included in your fare, with experiences ranging from cycling along the Danube and private Austrian wine tastings to thermal baths in Budapest. Additional premium excursions will also be available if you want to explore further.

What’s included in the fare?

Every Celebrity River Cruise includes meals in six dining venues, select wine, beer, cocktails, coffee and soft drinks all day, Wi-Fi, and one daily shore excursion. Guests also enjoy access to stylish public spaces, an infinity-edge pool, and unique bars such as Café al Bacio, the Sunset Bar, and the Martini Bar.

Are Celebrity River Cruises adults-only?

No – Celebrity has not announced any age restrictions for its new river cruises. Unlike Saga, which is exclusively for over-50s, Celebrity is positioning its river product for a broader audience. The itineraries, however, are curated for travellers who value culture, dining, and destination immersion, so families may be less of a focus.

Do I need a passport for a Celebrity River Cruise?

Yes. River cruises travel through multiple European countries, so a valid passport is required. Depending on your nationality, you may also need visas – check current travel requirements before departure.

What will the dining be like?

Expect regionally inspired menus that change with the itinerary, from locally baked pastries at breakfast to elegant multi-course dinners showcasing European flavours. With six dining options, flexible all-day access, and 24-hour availability, every meal feels like an occasion. Drinks are included throughout the day, so whether it’s a morning espresso or a nightcap martini, you’ll always find your perfect match.

What are the staterooms like on Celebrity River Cruises?

Staterooms are designed to feel more like suites, with king-size beds, spa-style bathrooms, and thoughtful touches throughout. Options include:

  • River View Staterooms (from 157 sq. ft.) with large windows and elegant finishes. 
  • Infinite Balcony Staterooms (173–179 sq. ft.) where wall-to-wall windows lower at the touch of a button. 
  • Balcony Staterooms (211–225 sq. ft.) with a private veranda and seating for two. 
  • Skylight Infinite Balcony Suites (233 sq. ft.) featuring a ceiling window that opens to the stars. 
  • Vista Balcony Suites (258 sq. ft.) with separate living and sleeping areas, a veranda, and butler service.

Every guest enjoys a complimentary stocked minibar, premium linens, and in-room filtered water, while suite guests receive butler service, priority bookings, and additional inclusions like in-suite dining.
