About Celebrity Cruises
The Celebrity fleet, marked by an X on the chimney, combines the best aspects of elegant cruises with a modern lifestyle on their ships. The great routes around the world and the international atmosphere are particularly interesting for experienced cruisers. Although it is casual and relaxed during the day, the dress code Smart Casual is expected at the so-called Chic Evenings. Most of the ships in the Celebrity fleet impress in their classic style. The Edge class, on the other hand, also impresses trend-conscious audiences with its innovative design.
