Celebrity Cruises will feature four new festivals at The Bazaar on Celebrity Xcel during European sailings this summer. The Opa Festival celebrates Greek traditions, La Dolce Vita Festival focuses on Italian flavours and romance, Salud Festival highlights Spanish rhythm with flamenco, and Silk & Spice Festival draws from Moroccan and Turkish cultures. The Bazaar blends onboard experiences with destination elements through food, artisan markets, activities, and entertainment. Mosaic open kitchen serves elevated dishes inspired by Naples, Mykonos, and Lisbon.
Spice casual dining offers rotating bites while Chef’s Studio provides destination-inspired cooking classes as Celebrity’s first such facility. Festivals extend cultural themes from ports to sea days with local beverages, crafting, dance classes, and musician performances. The concept launched on Celebrity Xcel in November. The Bazaar maintains spatial design for cohesive experiences. Updates apply to Mediterranean itineraries.
Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises, shared “We’re excited to transform the experience yet again to bring the heartbeat of the Mediterranean onboard throughout every European sailing.”
