Celebrity Cruises 2028

Where Does Celebrity Cruises Sail in 2028?

Celebrity Cruises covers a remarkable spread of destinations in 2028, with sailings running throughout the year to destinations across the Pacific, Asia, the Americas and Europe. Japan leads the programme, followed by the Caribbean and the Mediterranean — so whether you want cherry-blossom ports, warm Caribbean waters or ancient European harbours, there is a sailing to suit. Durations range from short four-night breaks to full 28-night voyages, with a median length of 12 nights, giving experienced cruisers plenty of scope to choose an itinerary that genuinely fits their diary.

Southern Europe and the Mediterranean

The Western Mediterranean is one of Celebrity’s strongest regions in 2028, and it draws the most European sailings on the programme. Itineraries in this zone tend to mix iconic port cities with scenic coastal stretches — the kind of sailing where you might dock steps from centuries-old architecture one morning and be back on deck with a drink in hand by afternoon. Mediterranean cruises in 2028 are selling well across all lines, and Celebrity holds a strong position here.

The broader Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean add further variety — sailings in this direction often call at Piraeus (Athens), Greece, the gateway to the Greek islands and wider Aegean, and at Rome (Civitavecchia), making it easy to add a night in the city before or after your cruise. Barcelona in 2028 is one of Celebrity’s key embarkation points for the Mediterranean, and a pre-cruise night there is straightforward to arrange. Cruise1st can book that hotel stay, along with your flights and transfers, so the whole trip lands on a single booking. For a fly-cruise approach, our Mediterranean 2028 fly-cruise options are worth exploring alongside these sailings.

Japan and Southeast Asia

Japan is the single biggest region in the Celebrity 2028 programme, and it is easy to see why. Sailings in this direction round-trip from or disembark at Yokohama (Tokyo), Japan, putting one of the world’s great cities at the start or end of your voyage. The Japan cruising season gives passengers a chance to see the country from the water — a very different perspective from a land tour — and Celebrity’s ships in this region are well suited to longer sailings. Japan cruises in 2028 are in strong demand, so booking early gives you the widest choice of cabin grades and departure dates.

Southeast Asia rounds out this part of the world. Itineraries in this region often pass through or embark at Singapore, one of the most efficient and enjoyable embarkation cities in the world — and a destination worth a night or two in its own right. Southeast Asia 2028 sailings combine well with a pre- or post-cruise stay, and Cruise1st can arrange both as part of a joined-up package. If you’re also considering Princess Cruises for this region, our Princess Japan and Southeast Asia 2027–2028 page shows what that fleet offers over the same period. You can also browse cruises from Singapore in 2028 to compare all the options sailing from that port.

The Caribbean, Alaska, South America, Australia and New Zealand

The Caribbean is Celebrity’s second-busiest long-haul region in 2028. Most Caribbean sailings depart from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida — worth knowing that Miami is only about half an hour away, so if you’re building a Florida stay around your cruise, either port is worth checking. All-inclusive fly Caribbean 2028 cruises are a popular way to package this trip, and Cruise1st can add your transatlantic flights, a pre-cruise hotel in Florida and any transfers you need. If you’re comparing lines for the Caribbean, 2028 Caribbean cruises aboard P&O Arvia offer a contrasting option on a different ship.

Alaska cruises with Celebrity in 2028 offer a striking alternative to warm-water itineraries, typically departing from Vancouver, British Columbia. Alaska 2028 sailings are worth locking in early — peak summer Alaska departures tend to go quickly across all lines.

South America sailings include departures connecting to Buenos Aires, Argentina, making this a natural choice for travellers who want to pair the cruise with time in that city. Australia and New Zealand round out the programme, with Sydney-based sailings making it a strong fit for fly-cruise travellers who want to explore two countries in one trip. For the full picture on that corner of the world, see our Australia and New Zealand 2028 cruises page, or browse Australia fly cruises in 2028 for packages that include the flight from the UK.

Which Ships Sail for Celebrity in 2028?

Celebrity operates a varied fleet in 2028, from comprehensively renewed Millennium-class ships to the striking Edge-class vessels. Here is what each ship sailing in 2028 actually offers.

Celebrity Solstice

Celebrity Solstice carries the most sailings of any Celebrity ship in 2028. The ship was comprehensively renewed in 2026, gaining a new Trattoria Rossa, Fine Cut Steakhouse, Sunset Park terrace and refreshed Retreat suites — so passengers booked this year are getting a ship that has been brought right up to date. The signature attraction is the Lawn Club: a genuine half-acre of real grass on the open deck, hosting live Hot Glass Show demonstrations and outdoor cinema screenings. Suite guests booking into The Retreat get a private pool sundeck, the Luminae restaurant serving Daniel Boulud menus, and full butler service.

If you’re choosing a cabin, the options on Solstice span a wide range. The Celebrity Solstice cabin and deck plans give you the full layout, but here is a quick guide to the main grades:

• Inside cabin I1 — 17 m², sleeps up to 4. Positioned on higher decks, with shorter walks to the pools and bars.
• Panoramic Ocean-view cabin PN — 22.7 m², sleeps up to 4. Floor-to-ceiling Panoramic windows give a significantly wider field of view than standard ocean-view portholes.
• Deluxe Veranda DV — 19.1 m², sleeps up to 5. Around 1 m² larger than standard balcony grades, so you get more room without paying suite prices.
• Penthouse Suite PS — approximately 156 m² total, sleeps up to 4. The largest suite on the ship, with a private hot tub and more than four times the floor space of a standard balcony cabin.

Celebrity Millennium

Celebrity Millennium is a ship with a genuinely unusual selling point: the Olympic Restaurant holds walnut panelling salvaged from RMS Olympic, Titanic’s sister ship, making every meal there a small piece of maritime history. The ship also carries Le Petit Chef, Celebrity’s 3D animated dinner show that pairs tabletop projections with a multi-course tasting menu. Travellers who value spa access should look at AquaClass staterooms, which unlock exclusive dining at restaurant Blu and entry to the Persian Garden thermal spa.

Cabin grades on Celebrity Millennium run as follows:

• Prime Inside cabin I1 — 15.9 m², sleeps up to 4. Centrally located on higher decks for easy access to the pool and outdoor areas.
• Prime Ocean-view cabin O1 — 16 m², sleeps up to 2. Prime position on higher decks, closer to the action than lower ocean-view categories.
• Ultra Deluxe Veranda Balcony UV — approximately 43.3 m², sleeps up to 2. Nearly three times larger than a standard veranda cabin — a significant upgrade in living space.
• Penthouse Suite PS — approximately 235 m² total space including around 102 m² of balcony, sleeps up to 4. Private outdoor hot tub with panoramic views.

Celebrity Edge

Celebrity Edge introduced a design concept that no other cruise ship has matched: the Magic Carpet, a cantilevered platform that travels 13 floors along the ship’s starboard side and functions as a restaurant, bar and Dinner on the Edge venue depending on where it docks. The Infinite Veranda staterooms open the entire balcony wall into the cabin, creating an indoor-outdoor living space unlike anything on a traditional ship. The three-storey Eden venue hosts Cirque-style performers within a living garden setting.

See the Celebrity Edge cabin and deck plans for the full breakdown. Key grades:

• Deluxe Inside cabin DI — 18.8 m², sleeps up to 4. Around 2 m² larger than standard inside cabins, with more bathroom space and storage.
• Deluxe Ocean-view cabin DO — 22.1 m², sleeps up to 4. The most spacious ocean-view grade on the ship, with 3–4 m² more than standard sea-view categories.
• Sunset Veranda Stateroom SV — 21.2 m², sleeps up to 4. The largest balcony of all standard veranda cabins, at approximately 8.3 m² — more than twice the size of other veranda balconies.
• Iconic Suite IC — over 239.8 m², sleeps up to 6. The largest suite in the entire Celebrity fleet, with 270° panoramic views from the highest position above the bridge, plus a private hot tub.

Celebrity Infinity

Celebrity Infinity completed a comprehensive refurbishment in 2024, bringing this Millennium-class ship to a fresh contemporary standard throughout its 2,170-guest capacity. The Tuscan Grille serves modern Italian cuisine, while Le Petit Chef delivers the same 3D table-top dinner spectacle found on Celebrity Millennium. Suite guests are looked after by The Retreat, which provides a private sundeck, the exclusive Luminae restaurant and 24/7 butler and concierge service. See the Celebrity Infinity cabins and deck plans to compare grades before you book.

Celebrity Apex

Celebrity Apex earned a Forbes Travel Guide four-star resort-at-sea rating — a distinction held by Celebrity Apex and no other ship in the Edge class. The Magic Carpet cantilevered platform spans 13 floors on the starboard side, functioning as a restaurant, sundeck and live-music bar as it moves between decks. The spa complex, designed by Kelly Hoppen, covers 22,000 sq ft, and the three-storey Eden venue brings Cirque-style performers into a living garden space. The Celebrity Apex cabin and deck plans are worth consulting if you’re weighing up cabin grades on this ship.

Celebrity Beyond

Celebrity Beyond is the most spacious ship in the Edge class, with generously proportioned open decks and float pools designed to give unobstructed sea views. The Celebrity Beyond cabins and deck plans show how that extra space translates into the cabin grades available for 2028 sailings.

Also Sailing in 2028

The 2028 Celebrity programme also includes Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Eclipse and Celebrity Summit, each with their own itineraries and cabin choices. Deck plans for Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Eclipse and Celebrity Summit are all available to help you compare before booking.

One ship worth highlighting separately is Celebrity Xcel. Check the Celebrity Xcel cabin and deck plans for details on this vessel’s layout and grades.

Are There Any Price Reductions on Celebrity 2028 Sailings?

Some Celebrity 2028 sailings carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing — on the strongest example, the discount reaches up to 37%, though that applies to a single departure. Across the programme more broadly, reduced sailings typically show savings of around 3%. It’s worth checking individual sailings rather than assuming a blanket reduction applies across the board. Fare types such as early-saver offers, last-minute deals and occasional promotional fares do appear — our team can tell you what’s currently active when you call.

Prices start from £264 pp* for Celebrity Cruises 2028 sailings. That figure covers a cabin on a specific sailing and changes as availability moves, so the best approach is to search by your preferred dates and region and see what’s showing. Our experts can also flag whether a particular fare includes extras like drinks packages, gratuities or Wi-Fi — the inclusions vary by fare type and can make a significant difference to the overall value.

How Do I Get to My Celebrity Cruise in 2028?

The great majority of Celebrity 2028 sailings depart from overseas ports, so a flight from the UK will be part of most trips. The main embarkation ports include Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) in Florida, Yokohama (Tokyo) in Japan, Barcelona in Spain and Amsterdam in the Netherlands — all straightforward to reach from major UK airports. Cruise1st can book your flights, your hotel the night before embarkation and any transfers, putting the whole journey on one booking so nothing falls between the gaps.

A small number of Celebrity 2028 sailings do depart from UK ports, and where that applies you can reach them by road or rail — no airport required. On one-way itineraries that end at a foreign port, you will need a flight home; we can arrange that as part of your package so there are no loose ends.

If you’re sailing from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), it’s worth knowing that Miami is about half an hour away — if your flights land at Miami, transferring to Port Everglades is straightforward, and we can arrange it. The reverse applies too: some travellers prefer to base themselves in Miami before or after the cruise, and either works.

For 2028 Celebrity sailings that leave from Southampton, the Celebrity 2028 cruises from Southampton page shows the specific departures available. Southampton is reachable from most of Britain by road or rail, making it one of the most convenient departure points for UK cruisers.

Why Book Celebrity Cruises 2028 with Cruise1st?

Cruise1st is one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists, which means we know Celebrity’s fleet, fare types and itineraries in detail — not in the way a general travel agent does, but because cruises are all we sell. When you call us, you speak to someone who can tell you the practical difference between an Infinite Veranda stateroom and a Sunset Veranda, which ship suits which itinerary, and whether the fare you’re looking at includes drinks or gratuities.

We can also build your holiday around the cruise itself. Flights from your nearest airport, a hotel the night before you sail, transfers between the airport and the port, shore tours, travel insurance — all of it goes on one Cruise1st Package, so there’s one booking reference, one point of contact and no scrambling to co-ordinate separate providers. We’re ABTA and ATOL protected, and rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews.

Planning Around 2028 — Other Years and Lines to Consider

If you’re weighing up Celebrity alongside other lines for 2028, the broader 2028 cruises page shows the full range of what’s on sale across all lines for the year. Princess Cruises 2028 is a popular comparison — the two lines share some of the same regions, including Japan and the Mediterranean, and comparing them side by side is useful before you commit. P&O Cruises 2028 is another strong alternative, particularly for travellers who prefer to sail from a UK home port.

For Mediterranean cruising specifically, Mediterranean cruises in 2027 show what itineraries looked like in the prior year — useful context if you’re still deciding between years. Royal Caribbean 2027 cruises and Royal Caribbean Japan cruises in 2027 are also worth a look if you want to compare Celebrity’s sister brand on similar routes. For the Caribbean in the neighbouring year, Caribbean 2027 cruises with New York stays offer a compelling alternative for those who want to pair their cruise with time in the US.

If 2028 sailings from Liverpool interest you, the 2028 cruises from Liverpool page covers all lines departing from that port. And for travellers planning around a specific UK departure point, Princess Cruises 2028 from Southampton is worth a look alongside the Celebrity Southampton options.
