The cruise line just revealed its next deployment, which will cover 131 destinations in 42 countries, including Celebrity Xcel returning to the Caribbean for a third season and Celebrity Solstice operating a second Asian season following a refurbishment.
“Guests can discover something new in every corner of the world, as Celebrity Cruises unveils its 2027 and 2028 itineraries in the Caribbean, Asia, and South America,” the company stated.
Caribbean sailings went on sale today, November 11, 2025, with Asia and South America bookings opening December 10, 2025.
The itineraries feature several firsts for the line, including Celebrity Cruises’ first dedicated Grand Turk itineraries and four transits through the Panama Canal aboard Celebrity Ascent.
In the Caribbean, eight Celebrity Cruises ships will operate from four Florida ports — Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, and Tampa — with Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Xcel, and Celebrity Reflection taking passengers on year-round journeys as short as 3 nights and extending up to 14 nights.
Meanwhile, Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Millennium will sail to 49 destinations across seven countries in Asia, including Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
