Instead of simply expanding outdoor pools and offering OTT shore excursions, Celebrity Xcel’s range of features and amenities revolves around delivering a novel and never-before-enjoyed cruise experience.
Instead of amping up the number of features, in other words, Celebrity Xcel has more immersive and meaningful experiences for cruise-goers to enjoy. Similar to Virgin Voyages’ offers, it’s great for any traveler who is young at heart, regardless of their actual age.
You can book Caribbean cruises starting on November 18, departing from Fort Lauderdale, or wait to jump aboard Celebrity Xcel with a European cruise next summer.
