We are thrilled to announce a brand new chapter in river cruising – Celebrity River Cruises is arriving in Europe in 2027! Cruise the legendary rivers in luxury, with all the comforts and style you expect from Celebrity, now reimagined for inland waters.

Launching on the Danube – with select sailings on the Rhine – these seven‑night holidays will take guests through the heart of Europe, including Vienna, Budapest, Bavaria, and charming riverside villages steeped in culture and history!

Launching in 2027, Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker are the first ships in Celebrity Cruises’ brand-new river fleet, designed to transform the way you experience Europe’s iconic waterways. With sleek profiles, lightweight hulls for smoother sailing, and expansive open decks, both ships bring guests closer to the heart of each destination.

From 360-degree views and infinity-edge pools to regionally inspired cuisine served across six dining venues with menus inspired by the destinations, every element onboard blends modern luxury with thoughtful design. Staterooms on both ships feel more like suites, each offering king-size beds, spa-style bathrooms, and elevated touches throughout. A true highlight is the debut of the Skylight Infinite Balcony Suites, featuring ceiling windows that open overhead, allowing guests to connect with the river and sky like never before!

Celebrity River Ships feature “Magic Edge,” the first-ever cantilevered dining pods in river cruising, suspended over the water to give guests the sensation of floating above the river while dining. These pods are a key innovation on ships like Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker. Extending out from the ships hull creating an immersive experience while offering a closer connection to the surrounding destinations from the top deck. These pods elevate what immersive dining can be as you enjoy regional cuisine while sailing Europes most historic cities.
