Celebrity Cruises is boldly stepping into the river cruise market by adding 10 new vessels to create a 20-ship fleet in Europe by 2031, marking its position among the top luxury operators.

Steel Cut on a River Revolution

The inaugural ship, Celebrity Compass, will debut in 2027 alongside Celebrity Seeker. With more ships launching through 2031, this expansion comes after previous seasons sold out in mere minutes.

2028 Season: 80% Growth, 160+ Itineraries

Bookings for 2028 are now open, featuring five ships and over 160 sailings across 50+ destinations—an 80% increase from the previous launch year. Iconic rivers such as the Rhine and Danube will feature these new journeys.
