The news is out! Earlier this month Celebrity Cruises President, Laura Hodges Bethge, announced the 2026 President’s Cruise is going to Europe on our newest ship, Celebrity Xcel. Enjoy exclusive onboard experiences you won’t find anywhere else, embark on curated tours and events that immerse you in the destination, and get the chance to meet and mingle with fellow Captain’s Club members. Join us as we sail from Athens to Barcelona on an 8-night cruise visiting Greece, Malta, and Turkey. 

This year’s sailing took the party to stunning Norway aboard equally stunning Celebrity Apex. We had an amazing time discovering quaint towns, exploring natural wonders, and mingling with our incredible Captain’s Club members. Words alone don’t do it justice. So, check out the recap below to get a taste of what’s in store when you join us on next year’s cruise. The takeaway is sure to be—you don’t want to miss it.

 

 

You know them. You love them. They’re your happy places. Now, they’re going to make you happier than ever. Get ready for all-new Celebrity experiences you’ve never seen before aboard Celebrity Solstice. New ways to soak up the great outdoors. A new blockbuster lineup of shows and activities. New flavors you’ll never forget. We’re just getting started. No ship of ours is going to be yesterday’s news. Sail the reimagined Solstice starting March 2026.

On April 28, our Dream Makers were the first to experience a taste of Bora–our new al fresco restaurant with over-the-top brunch and dinner under the stars–where they sampled the Mediterranean-inspired menu and the best Bloody Mary bar at sea. It’s a must-do for your date night that lasts all day long. We know you love our elevated culinary offerings, and we're excited to bring you even more unique dining options to choose from on Celebrity Xcel.

After last week’s sneak peek, we’re counting down to experience it fully aboard Celebrity Xcel this November.
