Celebrity Cruises review

Celebrity Cruises is the runner-up because it offers a step up in ship design and service at prices close to mainstream lines. Its deals page listed a 7-night Best of Greece sailing on Celebrity Infinity from $799 per person on November 14, 2026, and every price on that page was shown with taxes and fees included, which makes comparisons easier. The All Included package bundles drinks and Wi-Fi, the Edge Series ships feature Infinite Veranda staterooms, and The Retreat gives suite guests their own class of service. Celebrity also runs Europe river ships, so one loyalty account in Captain's Club Rewards can cover ocean and river trips. The Black Friday Preview offer took 75% off the second guest's fare and up to $950 off per stateroom. The tradeoff is fewer cheap short sailings and fewer kids' activities than Royal Caribbean, so it suits adults and couples more than young families.
