In a statement today, Celebrity Cruises announced the name of its fifth Edge Series ship, Celebrity Xcel, which will debut in 2025. The company had previously announced that Celebrity Xcel would be equipped with methanol.

A steel cutting ceremony was held at Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, to celebrate Royal Caribbean’s unveiling.

It is exciting to announce Celebrity Cruises‘ next bold step as a brand with Celebrity Xcel, which has shattered preconceived notions of cruising. “True to her name, this ship will ‘Xcel’ beyond her sister ships with entirely new experiences, yet to be revealed, which will change the game all over again.”

A 7-night itinerary alternating between the Bahamas, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands, plus Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten, will be offered by the Celebrity Xcel starting in November 2025 in the Caribbean. Sales are now available for the sailings.
