Celebrity Unveils New River Ships Compass and Seeker Set to Sail in the 2027 Season

Celebrity Cruises is set to expand its offerings on Europe’s inland waterways with the introduction of two new river vessels—the Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker, scheduled to launch in 2027. These ships aim to blend the sophisticated aesthetic of the Edge-class ocean liners with the charm of river cruising, providing an elegant river journey along the Rhine and Danube.

Guests can now take advantage of Priority Booking Access, securing staterooms with a refundable US$500 deposit. Both ships feature cutting-edge architecture, providing more space than any previous river ship. Onboard amenities include expansive open decks with sweeping 360° views, the innovative “Magic Edge”—a dining platform suspended above the water, scenic top-deck bars, shaded lounging areas, and a luxurious infinity-edge plunge pool.

Accommodations will comprise 86 staterooms in five different categories, including the lavish Skylight Infinite Balcony Suite and spacious Vista Balcony Suite, equipped with king-sized beds, ample storage, and natural light. Suites offer exclusive services like on-demand butler assistance, unique dining experiences, complimentary laundry, and priority reservations for shore excursions.

Eight dining venues promise delightful culinary experiences, featuring popular spaces such as the Martini Bar and Sunset Bar, alongside local cuisine integrated into the diverse menus. Guests can enjoy 24-hour dining access, with continental breakfasts available in-cabin.

The inaugural voyages, totaling 33 planned trips, will last 7 nights and unveil the rich tapestry of European culture as they travel along the Rhine and Danube, stopping at charming Christmas Markets and bustling city illuminations. Key ports of call include Vienna, Budapest, Strasbourg, and Amsterdam.

In alignment with Celebrity’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, both vessels will boast a lightweight hull for enhanced maneuverability and hybrid propulsion systems designed to minimize waste and noise.
