“We’re delighted to give our guests more ways than ever to experience the world’s most extraordinary destinations in 2028 and 2029,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “From the breathtaking fjords of Norway to the untouched beauty of Antarctica, these itineraries offer endless opportunities to explore…”

Highlights of the 2028/29 season include the most Edge Class ships in Europe at a single time, the most extensive Northern Europe program in the cruise line’s history, overnight visits in Egypt, the cruise line’s first-ever calls to Galway (Ireland), and much more.

On Beyond, guests can enjoy seven- to 14-night sailings from Southampton to Norway, Iceland, and throughout Scandinavia.  

On Celebrity Apex, guests can discover Scandinavia on 12-night sailings to Oslo, Norway; Skagen, Denmark; Stockholm, Sweden; Tallinn, Estonia; Helsinki, Finland; and Copenhagen, Denmark. Plus, new 12-night British Isles sailings on Apexto Scotland, Ireland, and England include Celebrity’s first-ever visit to Galway, Ireland.

Celebrity Millennium will offer round-trip sailings from Vancouver.

Guests on Celebrity Equinox can extend their trip with a land-based cruise/tour with stays at lodges and travel along remote roads and railways, stopping in Anchorage, Talkeetna, and Denali.
