Passengers who board the new Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Cruises' latest ship, which will offer this magical window to the world on its voyages starting December 2023. Its inaugural journey will depart from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on the 3rd, marking the start of its Caribbean season for 2023/2024 before exploring Europe in the summer of 2024 with departures from Barcelona and itineraries that include gems like France, Italy, Turkey, and the Greek islands.

This ensures that guests do not miss a detail of the best locations around the world that the company sails to, including the Caribbean beaches that encapsulate all the essence of paradise on islands like Perfect Day at CocoCay, the award-winning private island destination of the Royal Caribbean group. The wonders of the old continent in Italy, Croatia, France, the beauty of the Norwegian fjords... There are destinations for all tastes and seasons across the 16 ships of the cruise line, whether for a winter getaway or to start planning for summer 2024 aboard a luxury resort and relaxation at sea.

Getting to know destinations in depth is another hallmark of Celebrity Cruises. The cruise line offers the highest number of overnight stays in port of any luxury cruise line operating in Europe. Spending more time in port allows guests more time to discover the local culture in depth. Once back in their cabin on the ship, the cruise line offers you the chance to spend the best night of your life. The Edge series cabins allow for adjusting lighting and temperature without having to get out of bed, and in premium cruises, these cabins are king size. The luxury experience can continue to increase: those who add the All Included package to their cruise can enjoy a wide variety of beverages and Wi-Fi. For those looking for even more exclusivity, there are accommodations in The Retreat, with a private restaurant, lounge, and terrace, and even a butler and a team of attendants.

The menus are crafted by Michelin-starred chefs, transporting diners to Japan or Italy with their sushi or pasta offerings, letting them decide whether to savor them by candlelight inside the ship or outdoors under the stars. There are also unique gastro proposals: the Le Petit Chef experience fuses entertainment and gastronomy through art, animation, and 3D to allow guests to learn how to become the best chef in the world.
