Celebrity Cruises

Dining

If you love the idea of a holiday where dinner feels like an event (and lunch is just as tempting), Celebrity delivers. On many sailings you’ll find a choice of stylish dining rooms with their own feel, including Cosmopolitan Restaurant, Tuscan Restaurant, Normandy Restaurant and Cyprus Restaurant – perfect for switching it up night to night without losing that polished, attentive service.

For easy daytime favourites, head to Oceanview Café for generous global spreads, or grab something quick at Mast Grill when you’re in the mood for a classic poolside bite. If you’re cruising on ships with The Retreat, expect an extra layer of “treat yourself” dining that feels calm, exclusive, and properly indulgent.

When it’s time to book something special, Celebrity’s standout venues are the ones guests talk about long after they’re home: Fine Cut Steakhouse for beautifully cooked steak and seafood, Raw on 5 for oysters and sushi, Le Grand Bistro for French café charm, and Eden Restaurant for a more immersive, flavour-led evening. Want a meal that’s pure fun? Le Petit Chef brings the table to life with a playful dining experience that’s part theatre, part tasting menu. And for a perfectly made coffee with a sweet treat, Café al Bacio is the go-to.

Entertainment

Evenings on Celebrity are built around choice. Start with pre-dinner cocktails at the Martini Bar, where the atmosphere feels buzzy without being over the top, or go for a premium pour at the World Class Bar (a brilliant pick if you enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail). After that, the night can go in a few directions: big production shows in The Theatre, live music sets around the ship, or a late-night session in The Club when you fancy a more energetic vibe.

If you’re on an Edge Series ship, keep an eye out for the Magic Carpet, an open-air platform on the ship’s side that becomes a seriously memorable spot for drinks, views, and at times an extension of dining. It’s one of those “only at sea” moments you’ll be glad you didn’t miss.

Things to Do

Celebrity days at sea are easy to fill, whether you like to stay active or properly switch off. The Solarium is ideal for a quieter pool session, while the Rooftop Garden is made for lazy afternoons, sunset photos, and open-air hangs. Many ships also feature well-equipped fitness spaces, spa experiences that feel like a true reset, and a calendar of talks, tastings, and activities that fit neatly around your shore days.

For a relaxed pick-me-up, stop by Sunset Bar for ocean views with your drink, or pop into Eden Café for lighter bites in a setting that feels a bit different to the usual sea-day routine.

Family

Celebrity is a strong choice for families who want a premium feel while still keeping younger cruisers genuinely entertained. Camp at Sea is Celebrity’s kids’ programme, designed around age groups with activities that can include creative sessions, games, themed events, and more structured challenges. Teens have their own spaces too, so older kids can do their own thing while you enjoy a quieter afternoon by the pool or an unhurried dinner.

Families also tend to love the flexibility: easy dining options, plenty of daytime activities, and shore days that can be as relaxed or adventurous as you like.

Useful Information

• Dress code: Smart casual works well for most evenings, with the option to dress up more on selected nights if you fancy it.
• Dining style: Mix and match between included dining and speciality restaurants depending on the mood (and appetite).
• Onboard budgeting: Many guests choose to add drinks or Wi-Fi options to keep things simple day to day.
• Loyalty: If you cruise more than once, Celebrity Captain’s Club is worth knowing about for member benefits and perks.

Destinations

Celebrity sails all over the world, which is why it suits so many different styles of cruiser. You can keep it no-fly with sailings from the UK, chase warmth in the Caribbean, or plan a culture-packed Mediterranean route with port days that feel like mini city breaks. If you prefer the scenic side of cruising, look for itineraries that lean into natural landscapes and longer daylight hours, where the journey feels just as rewarding as the destination.

Not sure where to begin? Many UK cruisers start with an itinerary that balances relaxing sea days with headline ports, then build from there once they know what they love most.

Special Celebrity Cruises Offerings

Celebrity stands out for its “little details done properly” approach. Think: beautifully designed spaces, thoughtful service, and dining that feels genuinely varied rather than repetitive. On Edge Series ships, experiences like the Magic Carpet add something you won’t find on every line, and venues such as Eden Restaurant and Raw on 5 make it easy to turn a normal evening into a highlight.

If value is your focus, Cruise1st can help you compare routes, cabin types and inclusions, so you can choose the sailing that suits your style, not just the lowest headline price.
