How Many Celebrity River Cruise Ships Are There Going to Be?

Celebrity has placed an initial order of 10 River Cruise ships and two will be sailing during the inaugural season in 2027.

Where Will Celebrity River Cruises Go?

Celebrity will be releasing all of the Celebrity River Cruises 2027 itineraries to the public very soon. 😉 Update: See Itineraries Here!

But I can share that these will be river cruises in Europe.

Danube & Rhine River Cruises

Yes, Celebrity is offering both Danube river cruises and Rhine river cruises, so you can enjoy exploring European cities from a new vantage point: river access rather than European ocean cruises.

Step Aside Viking & AmaWaterways…

When you think of European River Cruises, you probably think of Viking or AmaWaterways, for example, but Celebrity aims to be a front runner in the River Cruise market.

What is Included in a Celebrity River Cruise?

Beverage & Wifi Package Included

In addition to the world class experience you’ve come to expect on Celebrity, you’ll be sailing on brand new ships and enjoying beverages (wine, beer, cocktails, softdrinks, coffee, tea, etc) included in your fare.

Wifi is also included in Celebrity River Cruises standard fares.

Excursions Included

You will also have the opportunity to select one complimentary shore excursion per port, if you wish, already included in your Celebrity River Cruise fare.

This is so nice as your fare truly bundles everything that you need for your European River Cruise so you can just show up, immerse yourself, and enjoy!

When Can I Book a Celebrity River Cruise?

Reserving a cabin on a Celebrity River Cruise will become available September 3, 2025 via a Priority Booking Access program the brand is launching.

How Much is Priority Booking Access for Celebrity River Cruises and How Does it Work?

For a $500 refundable deposit, you can join the priority booking access list starting September 3, 2025. This allows you to be the first in line to book a Celebrity River Cruise. Celebrity or your travel agent will contact you to convert your deposit into a booking for the date and itinerary you want.

Can I Use My Book Later on a Celebrity River Cruise?

Yes, but you will still have to make the refundable $500 deposit via credit card to get on Celebrity’s priority booking access list. Then when you’re contacted to select your sailing your Book Later can be utilized and your $500 deposit refunded to you.

Is There a Minimum Age for Celebrity River Cruises?

Yes. The minimum age is 4 years old. There will be no triple or quadruple occupancy staterooms on a Celebrity River Cruise vessels, so any child will be the second passenger in a stateroom. Practically speaking, this means a family of 3 would need to reserve two staterooms, for example.

There are no plans for children’s programming on Celebrity River Cruises the same way Celebrity Ocean Cruises offer Camp at Sea with age appropriate activities for children and teens.
