Good to know

Celebrity Cruises, in a few facts

  • Sister brand to Royal Caribbean but plays the opposite game: its flagship Xcel is barely half an Icon's tonnage, by choice.
  • The Edge class carries the Magic Carpet — a cantilevered venue that rides up and down 13 decks of the hull.
  • Celebrity Xcel (2025) is the fleet's first methanol-capable ship.
