Celebrity Ascent Makes Her Caribbean Debut
Celebrity Ascent, the fourth and newest ship in the brand's award-winning Edge Series, made her highly anticipated maiden voyage on December 3, 2023. Now, departing from Ft. Lauderdale, she will explore the exquisite waters of the Eastern Caribbean for the first time. While guests soak up her fantastic new features, she'll transport them to some of the most sought-after destinations in the region including Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.

Celebrity Ascent will make round-trip sailings from Celebrity's state-of-the-art Terminal 25 at Port Everglades every Sunday, journeying through the islands on seven-night Western and Eastern Caribbean itineraries. Eastern Caribbean sailings will visit bucket list worthy locales, including San Juan, Puerto Rico; Tortola in the British Virgin Islands and Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis, while Western Caribbean sailings will take guests to the breathtaking ports of Nassau, Bahamas; Cozumel, Mexico and George Town in the Cayman Islands.

Edge Series Sisters Lead the Way
Celebrity Ascent will be joined by her island-hopping Edge Series sisters, Celebrity Apex and Celebrity Beyond. Celebrity Apex is embarking on rotating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. Departing from Ft. Lauderdale, guests will visit the sun-filled islands of the Eastern Caribbean, including San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Puerto Plata. For a different kind of escape, Celebrity Apex will take guests to the Western Caribbean where they can surrender to the rhythms of paradise in Key West, Florida; Grand Cayman, and Belize.

Two Dedicated Caribbean Ships - Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Reflection
Then, starting April 2024, sun chasers, beach lovers and relaxation seekers will be able to enjoy the Caribbean like never before on board two award-winning ships, Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Reflection, as they begin to call the tropics home with year-round sailings.

Sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, Celebrity Beyond, features a mix of six and eight-night journeys, which visit incredible destinations like Grand Cayman, The Bahamas, Mexico, and the Dutch Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.

For the first time, travelers will also have the opportunity to getaway every weekend on Celebrity Reflection's new three and four-night itineraries. From Friday to Monday, travelers will have the opportunity to break free from their routines and recharge in the Caribbean.

Perfect Day at CocoCay
Both Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Reflection will offer guests the exciting opportunity to experience the Bahamas' Perfect Day at CocoCay for the first time in Celebrity Cruises history. Perfect Day at CocoCay is a vibrant private island paradise owned and operated by Celebrity's sister brand, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Offering the best of beachside bliss and sun soaked excitement, guests can find peak relaxation or the ultimate thrill – whatever their speed and definition of the perfect day means. Travelers can enjoy miles of pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, take a dip in the largest freshwater pool in The Bahamas, swim up to the bar for a refreshing tropical cocktail, experience the ultimate in relaxation and privacy at Coco Beach Club that features a heated infinity pool, specialty restaurant, and 20 exclusive overwater cabanas. Hideaway Beach, a new offering debuting in 2024, will offer an adults only paradise, with private cabanas and a new signature food outlet. Guests can also get the adrenaline flowing on North America's tallest waterslide, or soar 450 feet above the island in Up, Up and Away — an epic balloon ride that provides breathtaking panoramic views.

Celebrity Silhouette is Back in the Bahamas
Celebrity Silhouette, recently modernized as part of the Celebrity Revolution, is returning to the Bahamas and the Southern Caribbean with itineraries from Ft. Lauderdale ranging from 4- to 11- nights. And, for the first time since 2011, Celebrity Silhouette will visit Scarborough, the main city on the island of Tobago, sprawling from the heights of Fort King George, exposing travelers to historical architecture, lush botanical gardens, and lively street markets.

Celebrity Constellation Celebrates Fat Tuesday in the Big Easy
For revelers looking to celebrate Mardi Gras in style, Celebrity Constellation is offering a 12-night cruise departing from Tampa that starts with a double overnight stay in New Orleans for Fat Tuesday, before taking guests to a relaxing recovery journey to Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel. 

Short and Sweet On Board Celebrity Summit
Guests looking for a short and sweet vacation will also find it aboard Celebrity Summit, as she sails from Miami on alternating four- and five-night Western Caribbean itineraries, making it easy for travelers to plan a quick tropical island getaway.
