What to expect on your first cruise aboard Celebrity Cruises

Are you dreaming about your next big adventure? Here’s what you should expect on your first cruise aboard Celebrity Cruises.

See more of the world in less time

Compared to an all-inclusive vacation, you’ll get to visit several countries in one trip. At each port, you’ll have the opportunity to go on a guided tour or explore local attractions and cuisine.

You'll have just as much fun onboard as you do on-shore

Being aboard the ship is just as much fun as the shore excursions. You can swim in the pool, listen to live music at a bar, make new friends at a cooking or cocktail-making class, join a trivia game, pamper yourself at the spa, watch riveting performances at the theatre every night, and so much more.

There is always something to do no matter the weather

When it is sunny, you’ll want to take a dip in the pool, relax on the rooftop garden, dine outdoors, or watch an outdoor movie.

Rainy weather? No problem. There are plenty of great indoor spaces to keep you entertained, like watching a musical in the theatre, meeting friends for a cocktail at one of the many lounges and bars, or you can play a game of poker at the casino.

You'll want to pre-book activities before you depart

While counting down the days until your cruise, you can have fun pre-booking incredible activities. Popular shore excursions, specialty dining and spa treatments can fill up quickly, so you’ll want to claim your spot.

Be ready for your embarkation day

The most important thing is not to be late, as the ship won’t wait. You’ll want to have all your travel documents, passport, proof of vaccine, negative COVID test results, health insurance, and credit card ready and give yourself time for the security screening.

You’ll also want to download the Celebrity Cruises app to check in, get your mobile boarding pass and qualify for expedited boarding.
