Different bars suit different occasions. Whether you are looking to unwind after a long day of exploration, celebrate with friends, or savour a romantic moment with your partner, the ambience needs to match the mood.

Celebrity Cruises - known for their "modern luxury" approach - understands this perfectly. They have designed a diverse variety of bars and lounges to ensure that, no matter what you are drinking, the setting is just right.

Having picked up multiple awards for their impeccable wine programme and mixology, the fleet offers some of the finest drinking experiences at sea. Here are the best spots to savour a tipple on your next voyage.

World Class Bar

As the name suggests, Celebrity Cruises’ aim with this bar is to offer a ‘fine drinking’ experience. Drinks available on the World Class Bar menu are created by expert mixologists, who use fresh ingredients and luxury spirits to tantalise every sense with each sip.

• Best for: Cocktail connoisseurs and those looking to try something new.

• Where to find it: Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Reflection, Celebrity Silhouette, Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Xcel.

Cellar Masters

Even the most acquainted wine connoisseur is likely to learn something when visiting Cellar Masters. With wines from around the globe selected by an expert team of sommeliers, the ambitious collection of the new and familiar invites you to extend your knowledge while relaxing in the bar’s rich, sumptuous surroundings.

• Best for: Wine lovers and oenophiles.

• Where to find it: Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Reflection, Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Summit.

Martini Bar & Crush

The most iconic spot on the entire fleet. The Martini Bar is as cool as the drink that inspired it; quite literally, as the bar surface itself is made of ice. Discover a range of exquisitely mixed martinis - from old-time classics to innovative creations - while the bartenders put on a show and the upbeat tunes get the evening buzzing.

• Best for: High energy, entertainment, and an elegantly cool ambience.

• Where to find it: Available on all Celebrity Cruises ships.

Sky Observation Lounge

Located at the top of the ship, this lounge offers expansive ocean views, transitioning from brilliant daytime blues to vibrant sunset reds. As day turns to evening, the lounge comes alive with music and dancing. Be sure to try one of their twelve signature "Zodiac" cocktails based on your star sign.

• Best for: Epic ocean views and sunset drinks.

• Where to find it: Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Reflection, Celebrity Silhouette, Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Summit. 

The Passport Bar

Usually located off the Grand Foyer, this venue is perfect for people-watching. With live classical music - including string quartets, jazz, and big bands - The Passport Bar has a European vibe that may entice you to extend your evening. It is the ideal spot to unwind with a glass of your favourite tipple after a day in port.

• Best for: Live music in a relaxed environment.

• Where to find it: Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Reflection, Celebrity Silhouette, and Celebrity Solstice. 

Craft Social

Sometimes, only the reassuring familiarity of a pub will do. Craft Social delivers exactly that. With a casual atmosphere, a vast selection of craft beers, and gastro-comfort food classics (think truffle fries and wings), this is the place to linger, socialise, and watch the game.

• Best for: The traditional pub experience.

• Where to find it: Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Xcel, Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Silhouette. 

Slush

Days at sea are perfected with a fresh, frozen cocktail in hand whilst you chill out poolside. Slush provides this luxury with a menu of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic handmade frozen cocktails. It is the ultimate way to cool down in the sunshine.

• Best for: Refreshing frozen cocktails by the pool.

• Where to find it: Celebrity Eclipse and Celebrity Equinox.

Quasar

For a night-time retro vibe, head to Quasar. This is the ship's futuristic nightclub where DJs play old favourites and contemporary classics. You can dance the night away, sip a glass of bubbly, or congregate in the spacious curved booths that offer plenty of room for your entire party.

• Best for: Dancing and late-night celebrations.

• Where to find it: Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Silhouette, Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Eclipse.

Celebrity Cruises has envisaged every moment of your holiday, and their bar menus reflect that.

While you can pay for drinks as you go, many guests find excellent value in purchasing a Drinks Package.

These range from the Classic Package (covering beers, spirits, cocktails, and wines up to a certain price point) to the Premium Package, which includes top-shelf spirits, craft beers, and deluxe wines by the glass.

Whether you are shaking it up at the Martini Bar or winding down in Cellar Masters, there is always a perfect glass waiting for you.
