Celebrity Cruises Launches New River Cruise Holidays

Iconic cruise line Celebrity Cruises is setting sail on a new adventure with the launch of its first-ever river cruise holidays.

Going on sale this year, Celebrity River Cruises will transport guests to amazing cities on some of the world's most iconic rivers, Celebrity Cruises has said. The cruise line has ordered 10 river cruise ships that will feature the elevated designs and sophistication seen onboard Edge Class series ocean cruise ships.

“Celebrity River Cruises will bring the quality and sophistication of our Edge Series ocean ships to the most iconic rivers, starting with Europe. We’ve redefined travel on the ocean with our best-in-class hospitality, award-winning food and beverage experiences, and elevated design and style. We are thrilled to bring these experiences to the river and combine them with authentic, destination-rich itineraries that will give our guests an experience unlike any other," said Laura Hodges Bethge, President, Celebrity Cruises.

Celebrity Cruises' first river cruises will set sail in 2027 in Europe, providing guests with 360-degree views of breathtaking, culturally and historically significant cities. Onboard, the cruise line says guests will be able to enjoy locally inspired cuisine and book unique shore excursions.
