Find the Right Celebrity Cruises® Sailing for You

They are sister brands, but they are built for different trips. Celebrity puts the activity on the ship — waterslides, surf simulators, big family programming. Celebrity puts it into food, design and itineraries, on quieter ships aimed at adults. If you want your children entertained all day, Royal is the better buy; if you want a good dinner and a balcony, Celebrity is.

It works well for families with older children and teenagers, and there are youth programmes on every ship. It is a weaker fit for young children than the mainstream lines: there are no waterslides or surf simulators, and far fewer kids on board. We will tell you honestly which of the two suits your family.

On Edge Series ships (Edge, Apex, Beyond, Ascent and Xcel) the Infinite Veranda is a stateroom where the top half of the window opens and bifold doors close off the veranda space, making it part of the room. It gives you more usable indoor space than a standard balcony, but the outdoor area is enclosed rather than open-air. Some guests strongly prefer it and some strongly do not, so we explain it before you book.

Concierge Class is a veranda stateroom with added service touches and priority embarkation. AquaClass adds spa-facing rooms, thermal suite access and its own restaurant, Blu. The Retreat is the suite tier — a private restaurant (Luminae), lounge, sundeck and a butler. On most sailings AquaClass is the best-value step up, and we will say so rather than push you upward.

Your fare generally covers your stateroom, main dining and casual meals, entertainment, and standard beverages like water, coffee and tea. Celebrity also sells "All Included" fares that bundle drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities — what is bundled depends on the fare you book, which is one of the things we check for you. Specialty dining, shore excursions and spa treatments cost extra.

Every Celebrity group booking through us includes Open Bar, Free Wi-Fi and a US$50 onboard credit, on top of the group fare. Prices shown on our group offers are per person based on two guests sharing one stateroom, exclude taxes and fees, and must be booked more than 120 days before departure.

It depends on the fare. Celebrity’s "All Included" fares bundle gratuities; a basic cruise-only fare does not, and gratuities are charged daily on board or prepaid. Amounts and policies change, so we confirm current figures for the specific sailing when we quote you.

Start with the itinerary, then the ship class. The Edge Series (Edge, Apex, Beyond, Ascent, Xcel) has the newest design and the Infinite Veranda; Solstice class is the Alaska workhorse and has the Lawn Club; Millennium class is smaller and reaches ports the larger ships cannot. Ships within a class share most features, so choosing the class first narrows it quickly — we do this comparison for you at no cost.

Celebrity typically deploys Solstice-class and Millennium-class ships to Alaska for the May-to-September season, sailing round-trip from Vancouver or Seattle and one-way through the Inside Passage. Deployments are announced a year or more ahead and do change, so we confirm the specific ship for your dates.

Yes, and better than most premium lines. Edge Series ships carry dedicated single staterooms with Infinite Verandas, which avoid the single supplement entirely. On other ships a solo guest pays the two-guest room rate but only one set of taxes and fees — on our group space that total is often still below public single pricing.

For Alaska, Japan and Europe summer sailings, roughly 9–18 months ahead gives the best choice of stateroom location and class. Our group rates have a hard rule of their own: they must be booked more than 120 days before departure, so a sailing 120 days out is no longer eligible for group pricing.

For nearly all sailings Canadians should carry a valid passport, and most Celebrity itineraries require one. Documentation requirements depend on your citizenship and itinerary and can change — verify requirements for your specific sailing with official government sources; we’ll flag what applies when we quote you.

Yes. We can build the full trip — flights from your Canadian city, pre-cruise hotel nights (which we recommend before any cruise, and insist on before long-haul ones), transfers and travel insurance options.

No. The form only tells us what you’re looking for — there is no charge, no deposit and no commitment. You book only if and when you choose one of the options we send.

You typically pay the same fare or less, and gain an expert who compares ships and staterooms for you, watches for promotions you qualify for, and is your human contact if anything changes. Our group space also carries inclusions — Open Bar, Free Wi-Fi and onboard credit — that are not available booking direct. Revolution Travel Group is TICO-registered, which provides Ontario consumer protection on eligible bookings.
