Celebrity River Cruises Launches Priority Booking Access for Inaugural 2027 Season

International

Celebrity Cruises is expanding its premium offering with the launch of Celebrity River Cruises, entering the river cruise market in 2027.

Starting on 3 September at 3:00 p.m. (CET), travelers will have the opportunity to secure an early reservation through Priority Booking Access for the brand’s first river cruises on the Danube and Rhine.

Guests who place a fully refundable deposit of €450 will receive exclusive early access ahead of the general booking window. This includes priority information on itineraries, ships, and cabin details, as well as the opportunity to be among the first to book a sailing.

“We are delighted to offer our guests the opportunity to experience the very first Celebrity River Cruises journeys in 2027 with Priority Booking Access,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises. “Our guests will enjoy the warm hospitality for which Celebrity is renowned – aboard innovative ships and with unique experiences along Europe’s most iconic rivers.”

The new river vessels will incorporate the sophisticated design and contemporary styling of Celebrity’s Edge Series ships. Onboard, guests will enjoy wraparound views and an all-inclusive concept that covers all meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, Wi-Fi, entertainment, and one included shore excursion per day. Pre- and post-cruise stays in cities such as Prague and Budapest will also be available.

Celebrity River Cruises will combine modern ship design with curated shore experiences. Travelers can look forward to culturally and historically significant cities, scenic landscapes, and regionally inspired culinary highlights.

Priority Booking Access can be secured via www.celebritycruises.com/river or through travel advisors. Additional details on destinations, ships, and excursions will be released when the booking window officially opens. The Priority Booking Access guarantees early booking privileges but does not secure a specific cabin type, ship, or departure date.
