Set sail on the family trip of a lifetime aboard Celebrity Cruises’ revolutionary Edge Series ships.
Get the whole family together for the trip of a lifetime with Celebrity Cruises. Their new Edge Series ships boast a wide range of new features—from gourmet onboard eateries and a rooftop garden to sprawling 1,000-square-foot villas. Just as importantly, these ships sail to breathtaking destinations around the world, opening up endless possibilities for your next family adventure.

Explore the Turquoise Waters of the Caribbean
Island hop your way through the Caribbean with the Edge Series ships’ many tropical itineraries. Making its debut in the Caribbean this month, Celebrity Xcel will take the tropics to breathtaking new heights. You can choose to explore the historic charm of the Eastern Caribbean, where you and your family can wander the ancient forts of San Juan, Puerto Rico, then cool off while snorkeling in the pristine, secluded bays of Tortola, British Virgin Islands later on in your voyage. Alternatively, a Western Caribbean voyage offers its own slew of exciting adventures. Wander to ancient Mayan ruins in Cozumel, Mexico or swim with the dozens of wild, yet friendly stingrays of Grand Cayman.
Sail Past Glaciers in Alaska
Embark on an epic adventure to the Alaskan wilderness, sailing through the storied Inside Passage, where wildlife abounds. Spot whales breaching, bald eagles soaring, and seals lounging right from the ship’s rail. Pop into historic ports like Juneau, where you can experience the thrill of dog sledding, or Skagway, where you can pan for gold just like the 19th-century expeditioners. But the highlight of every Alaskan journey is sailing past the state’s stunning, massive glaciers. Depending on the itinerary, gape in awe at either the 400-foot-tall Hubbard Glacier or the 600-foot-tall Dawes Glacier.


Voyage to the Historic Ports of Europe
Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series ships also spend quite a bit of time cruising around the culture-rich coasts of Europe. With ancient history, iconic art, and flavorful cuisine all across the continent, Europe is ideal for the whole family to enjoy. Choose a classic Mediterranean sailing to walk in the footsteps of emperors and gods in Rome, Italy or taste authentic tapas in Barcelona, Spain. For something a little different, journey north from the UK to discover the majestic beauty of Scandinavia—from the lush Norwegian fjords to the bustling city of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Cruise Around the Corners of Australia & New Zealand
Embrace the beauty Down Under aboard Celebrity Edge with one of Celebrity Cruises’ Australian itineraries. You can choose to explore the dazzling underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, where your family can snorkel through the vibrant coral gardens off Cairns and Port Douglas, and later unwind on the famous white sands of Whitehaven Beach near Airlie Beach. There are also quite a few voyages that combine Australia and New Zealand ports of call, with the latter offering opportunities to marvel at the unique geothermal landscapes near Rotorua and discover the hustle and bustle of major cities like Auckland.

Travel has always been a significant part of my life, but since starting and selling my own ambulance company, it has become an obsession for over a decade now. Be it diving with sharks at the Great Barrier Reef and watching turtles hatch and rush to the sea, on Heron Island, Australia. Too skydiving over Paris (Lake Perris, CA) that is, and hang gliding over the the majestic beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Or lounging on the beaches of a private villa in Tahiti. I have traveled the world, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, the USA, Mexico, Canada and Australia. I've visited all continents, except Antarctica, which is on my to do list. I love adventure travel but also seeing different world cultures. The museums of Madrid and Barcelona. The history of Berlin and the splendors of Italy and Greece. Relaxing on exotic beaches or just being a picture taking tourist on Safari in Africa. Travel is my passion and now my job. I love planning travel for others as much as I love traveling mys ...
