Celebrity XCel is an Edge-class ship launched in 2025 and the #1 ship in the Celebrity fleet by size, with 10 passenger decks, 17 dining venues and 9 bars. The Magic Carpet, a movable platform, doubles as an open-air restaurant. Food is the real draw: Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud takes inspiration from the chef's travels, Le Grand Bistro channels Paris, and Fine Cut Steakhouse and Raw On 5 share a deck with the Grand Plaza, a social hub modeled on Italian piazzas. The Bazaar brings destination culture aboard, with the Spice Cafe inside it. Up top, the Rooftop Garden pairs live plants with the Rooftop Garden Grill and Sunset Bar, while the Solarium is a glass-enclosed retreat for adults with a thalassotherapy pool. Kids head to Camp At Sea, and teens to The Basement.
With two sea days on this sailing, there's time for World Class Bar, Pool and Cabanas.
