Celebrity Cruises has revealed its first two riverboats, the Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker, scheduled to launch in 2027.
These new ships feature an innovative design that offers more space and an open deck concept that maximises outdoor usability throughout the journey. Guests will experience dining in cantilevered pods called Magic Edge, which float above the river, and enjoy unique features like an infinity-edge plunge pool.
The cabins include innovative design elements such as king-sized beds, spacious balconies, and a dedicated on-demand butler service in suites. There will be eight restaurants and bars on board, with 33 seven-night sailings available along the Rhine and Danube for the opening season.
Laura Hodges Bethge shared, “Celebrity River Cruises ships will be the most innovative on the river, with a patent-pending industry-leading design that offers more space to vacation while bringing guests even closer to destinations. With about half of our guests having experienced or intending to take a river cruise, we know guests are going to love sailing Europe’s Rhine and Danube rivers The Celebrity Way on our fleet of elevated, cutting-edge ships.”
