Celebrity Cruises is raising the bar once again with the upcoming launch of Celebrity Xcel®, revealing four brand new venues that redefine what it means to relax, play, and connect while at sea. Debuting in Fall 2025, these spaces are designed to make every moment aboard as unforgettable as the destinations themselves.
🌴 The Celebrity Pool Club: The Ultimate Day-to-Night Escape
Say goodbye to the traditional pool deck and hello to Celebrity Pool Club, an upgraded, all-day oasis where guests can unwind with valet service, shaded loungers, private cabanas, and cool essentials like chilled towels and poolside games. On the final sea day of each Caribbean sailing, it transforms into the “Poolest Day Ever℠”—a lively celebration complete with Caribbean beats, pool games, and tropical drinks served in everything from mini-Patrón bottles to fresh coconuts.
As night falls, the energy turns up for Shine the Night, a chic poolside bash under the stars with premium cocktails and gourmet bites.
🕹️ Attic at The Club: Classic Arcade Vibes, 24/7
Step back in time—without leaving the ship—at the Attic at The Club, a glowing arcade lounge open 24/7. Designed for grown-ups who still love their retro favorites, this space features Pac-Man, NBA Showtime, Golden Tee, plus shuffleboard, darts, foosball, and more.
Want to keep the party private? The Attic also offers bookable space for group fun like karaoke, golf simulation, and custom events.
💆 The Spa: Rejuvenation Redefined
Celebrity Xcel will also be home to Celebrity’s largest spa to date, featuring the brand-new Hydra Room℠, a bubbling warm pool with massaging jets and heated loungers designed to melt stress away. The Vitamin D Deck℠—an outdoor terrace exclusive to Thermal Suite guests—offers sweeping ocean views and non-alcoholic refreshments under the sun.
The spa will offer over 120 treatments, including high-tech options via the Skin Lab, and an expanded salon experience complete with a bubbles bar and an interactive retail space.
🛍️ Celebrity Flagship Store: Part Retail, Part Immersive Exhibit
Debuting for the first time ever, the Celebrity Flagship store is more than a boutique—it’s a deep dive into the brand’s innovation and history. Browse exclusive merch, explore interactive exhibits, and even customize your own keepsakes, from engraved water bottles to embroidered robes. Guests can also test products and shop smarter with science-backed skincare recs using the Skin Lab analysis.
🌍 Plus, Even More to Come…
These four new spaces are part of seven all-new venues coming to Celebrity Xcel, which also include:
- The Bazaar: A transformational space that blurs the line between ship and shore.
- Bora: A Mediterranean al fresco dining experience.
- An Expanded Entertainment Lineup: More variety, more acts, and nonstop performances.
