Entertainment on Celebrity Xcel

Celebrity Xcel makes sure the fun lasts all day and all night. From breathtaking theatre productions to live music, from energy-filled spaces to intimate venues—there is something for every mood. Here below are the entertainment options one will be able to enjoy while on a voyage.

Magic Carpet

One special aspect of Celebrity Xcel is the Magic Carpet. This brand-new venue is a cantilevered platform that moves smoothly from deck to deck, giving ever-changing experiences. It is sometimes a cool bar under the endless ocean views, other times a classy dining venue, or just a down-to-earth lounge. Its adaptability and an open-air sprawling view over the waters crystalize it as one of the most happening places on board.

The Retreat Pool Bar

The Retreat Pool Bar is a place where the caring staff members treat others to chic ways to drink and lounge. Handmade cocktails work on sunning by the pool, as do cold wines or even spritzers. A lounge of some grace and privacy that could almost soak into relaxing-away after a shore excursion or until-four-in-the-afternoon.

Mast Bar

Mast Bar is a classy establishment with a casual atmosphere offering patrons a unique poolside experience created to unwind after being set. It is placed up high on the ship's deck, where patrons drink cocktails or icy cold beers while taking deep gulps of fresh sea breeze; chilled-down chill vibes and spectacular ocean views provide ample space for barring out in a canopy of shade, chatting it over with fellow cruisers, or just lolling away life-at-sea into a superbly relaxed track.

Rooftop Garden

The Rooftop Garden is a botanical open-air location with an exotic mix of nature and design that is unlike any other on the sea. Life in the day is a place to take a sunbath, read a book, or quietly appreciate the atmosphere. With the setting sun, the copper-colored plants find themselves beautified with soft musical notes from the symphony of the stars. Here, surrounded by sculpted plants and whispers of ocean winds, the place bursts with energy, social vibes, and great Instagram opportunities.

Sunset Bar

Placed aft of the ship, the Sunset Bar has been a favourite among passengers because of the opposite exceptional views and superb atmosphere. This open-air lounge is created to enjoy cocktails while golden hour sets in along the horizon. With posh furnishing, live acoustic performance, and a laid-back-chic ambiance, it almost seems an ideal place either to start or end one's evening. It is among the very few experiences onboard that can beat watching Sunset while sipping a chilled drink.

Pool Bar

Putting guests right alongside the main pool, the Pool Bar assures that one will never have to go out in search of a drink. It is the standby spot for frozen cocktails, cool beers, and smoothies that brighten up one's day. Perky waiters and spirited ambience combine to give the Pool Bar the indispensable life of the daytime scene of the ship, thereby keeping the atmosphere entertaining and the guests chilled down through their pool fun.

The Theatre

The Theatre is the nucleus of live entertainment aboard Celebrity Xcel, presenting a mix of Broadway-style shows, original productions, and live entertainment bands. With regard to sound and lighting, everything has been perceived with great attention to detail to fully immerse the audience. The shows range from great choreography and aerial arts to intimate concerts and comedians—the variety keeps every single night fresh and exciting. It is where the ship truly comes to life after dark.

The Annex

The Annex is a flexible multi-purpose venue for group fun and interactive activities. Events of trivia contests, karaoke nights, sporting event screenings, and private events are organized for guests to participate in. Its flexible setup makes it a lively pick for both daytime and nighttime entertainment, giving passengers a chance to mingle and have a chuckle. Whether it is friendly competition or just plain fun, The Annex offers a warm and open atmosphere.

World Class Bar

World Class Bar is the place where mixology truly transforms into an art. This elegant lounge offers a somewhat unique interpretation of cocktails made with overage spirits and less than common approaches. Guests may indulge in a carefully-curated drink menu conceived from global flavors; with every drink handed to guests with the same creativity and flair. It is a charming, intimate setting that truly offers the elevated art of cocktail-making by bartenders who are eager to share it with anyone willing to appreciate a fine drink, whether the person is a connoisseur or just looking for big-time extravagance.

Grand Plaza

An epicenter for social life, the Grand Plaza stretches over three decks right at the centre of the ship. It has bars and venues for live music and daily events, all capable of hosting one of these mega chandeliers that doubles as a light show. This is where the male guests congregate for cocktails, good conversation, and entertainment. As the day rolls on, it's all chitchat and ambience; by nightfall, it's glitz and glamour.

The Bazaar

Being a wonderfully eclectic venue, The Bazaar offers shopping, entertainment, and culture amid the vivid market atmosphere. Shopping is just an option; the actual experience immerses the guest to find that one-of-the-kind item, enjoy a live show, or simply participate in a pop-up event. The lively energy coupled with art and retail makes The Bazaar a newer, fresher concept that provides a fun way to discover a treasured trove of experiences while onboard.

Casino

If a little thrill is what you seek, the Casino offers an elegant Vegas-on-the-sea atmosphere for you to savor. Here, slot machine, blackjack, poker, and so many more come together, being best places for trying one's luck. From seasoned players to curious first-timers, the atmosphere buzzes with energy from the welcoming staff. Tournaments and special events bring duration and excitement to life into the nocturnal adventures of the Casino.

iLounge

The iLounge is Celebrity Xcel's contemporary technology centre for guests who love to remain connected. It has Apple products, high-speed internet access, and a welcoming crew to double as a cybercafé and a learning centre. The guests can enroll in workshops, check the latest gadgets, or simply go online. Whether editing vacation photos, streaming content, or sharpening digital skills, the iLounge is stylish pragmatism.

Oculus Theater

The Oculus Theatre takes entertainment beyond any level with its advanced technology and immersive design. Huge screens, advanced lighting, and surround sound solutions come together to generate powerful experiences that remain etched in the memory of those who witness live shows and multimedia performances. This theatre is a privilege for anyone who loves spectacular visuals and gripping narrative, ranging from cinema-style presentations to musical shows and conferences.

The Club

The Club is amongst the most adaptable settings on Celebrity Xcel, seamlessly morphing from the daytime into nighttime. By day, it takes on activities such as game shows, classes, and enrichment programs. It is a lively lounge at night with live music, themed parties, and DJ sets. With this energy and flexible programming, the club is for all who want variety—every time you visit, a new fun thing is waiting for you.

Martini Bar

Located right in the core of the Grand Plaza, the Martini Bar buzzes with a thrill where bartenders entertain with their dazzling flair. From the very extensive menu of martinis and signature cocktails, it is one of the most thriving social areas on the ship. Party people meet here for pre-dinner drinks, late-night revelry, or simply to enjoy the vibe as the mixologists juggle, pour, and serve with showmanship. It's a bar and a show.
