Celebrity Cruises Ship Classes
The Celebrity Cruises ships are divided into 4 classes or series, as they call them. The main difference between these ship classes is, in the first place, the gross tonnage and the maximum guest capacity onboard, and on the other hand, the itineraries, sailings, and locations they visit. These 4 classes or series are Edge Class, Solstice Class, Millennium Class, and Expedition Class.
- Edge Class: All cruise ships on this class boast several technological and innovative features such as the Infinite Veranda cabins that have outward-facing walls made out entirely of glass, a feature that was, until recently, only seen on river cruise ships due to their smaller size. Another technological innovation found on all Edge Class Ships is the Magic Carpet, a multi-purpose platform the size of a tennis court that cantilevers over one side of the ship, it can be moved upwards or downwards and even used as an alternative dining area that can sit up to 90 guests. All ships in this class offer more than 32 dining areas, bars, and lounges for a new and unforgettable experience on each meal. The Edge Class began rolling out in 2018 with Celebrity Edge and the latest ship, Celebrity Xcel is set to start sailing in 2025, other ships in this class are Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent, and Celebrity Apex.
- Solstice Class: Despite debuting in 2008 with Celebrity Solstice, the Solstice Class still has some unique features that, as of 2024, are not found anywhere else in the cruise industry, this made the Solstice Class ships very innovative and became an emblem of Celebrity Cruises. The Lawn Club is the first and only outdoor area at sea that features real grass, they are maintained by a team of full-time greenskeepers who oversee a state-of-the-art and complex irrigation system that guarantees the grass to look as green and healthy as ever. The Lawn Club is equipped with wooden chairs, cabanas, and hammocks; guests can play lawn games such as croquet there. Solstice Class ships also offer hot glass classes onboard, setting your inner craftsman free and making unique creations that you can take back home with you, a constant reminder of an unmatched vacation. Pool decks on the Solstice Class ships are some of the most stylish, sleek, and elegant out at sea. Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Silhouette, Celebrity Reflection, Celebrity Equinox, and Celebrity Eclipse make up the Solstice Class.
- Millenium Class: Ships on the Millenium Class are the oldest ones on Celebrity Cruises' fleet, however, they don't look outdated at all thanks to some overhauls and refurbishments these ships went through a few years ago. Millennium Class ships have a considerably smaller size when compared to Solstice Class; around 30% smaller. Thanks to the recent overhauls, Millennium Class ships now also have some of the most popular venues and attractions found on Solstice Class ships, but due to their smaller size, the amount of eateries and other entertainment venues is limited. Millennium Class ships are a great option for cruise enthusiasts who love a somewhat intimate and more relaxing vacation. Celebrity Millenium, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Constellation, and Celebrity Summit make up the Millenium Class.
- Expedition Class: This ship class is dedicated to exclusively sailing The Galapagos Islands. The three cruise ships on the Expedition Class are Celebrity Flora with a maximum capacity of 100 guests, Celebrity Xpedition accommodates 98 guests; and Celebrity Xploration 16 guests, making these ships the smallest ones in Celebrity Cruises' fleet. The experience of sailing onboard an Expedition Class is very different and unique, as the class's name suggests, this is an expedition, which means that all the fun and highlights of the journey will take place off the ship. A crew of certified naturalists and experts will guide the inland expeditions where you can take in all the natural beauty of The Galapagos and see some of the endemic species that were closely studied by Charles Darwin during his journeys. Celebrity Xpedition and Celebrity Xploration will leave the Celebrity Cruises fleet in 2025 and become part of another cruise line.
