Sixteen Singles Travel International Members boarded the brand-new Celebrity Xcel for New Years Celebration. In only its fifth sailing, our Members stepped onto a new expression of luxury at sea — one defined not by excess, but by experience. Every space onboard is designed to awaken curiosity, inspire connection, and transform each moment into something unforgettable.

 

 

At its heart is The Bazaar, an ever-changing cultural destination that brings the essence of the world  onboard. From curated artisan showcases to destination-inspired flavors and live performances, The Bazaar evolves daily, offering an elegant sense of discovery that mirrors the places you sail.

 

As day turns to night, The Club emerges as a vibrant, shape-shifting venue where energy builds and anticipation lingers. Designed to transform throughout the evening, it delivers immersive entertainment, unexpected moments, and a refined nightlife experience that feels both exclusive and alive.

For those drawn to what lies just beyond the obvious, IYKYK awaits. Hidden in plain sight, this discreet cocktail lounge rewards the curious with elevated mixology, intimate ambiance, and the quiet thrill of being in the know.

 

 

The Xcel continued to wow us by hosting three separate parties to usher in the New Year with three very different atmospheres. The pool deck was transformed into an energy packed dance party, the Grand Plaza held a relaxed environment with live music and dancing which catered all age groups, and The Bazaar offered an intimate, candle-lit welcome to 2026 with easy listening music. A selection of experiences for the diverse population on board but all with high class.

 

 

On Celebrity Xcel, luxury flows seamlessly from space to space, adapting to your mood and pace. It’s not just where you travel — it’s how deeply you experience the journey.

This is Celebrity Xcel. A ship designed to be discovered, together.
