Celebrity River Cruises to Open for Deposits for Inaugural 2027 Sailings

Celebrity River Cruises will open for deposits at 9 a.m. (EDT) on Sept. 3, 2025. Guests who place a fully refundable $500 deposit will receive early access to book a 2027 sailing ahead of the general public. They also will be among the first to learn about itinerary and stateroom details.

While exact itineraries are not yet known, Celebrity River Cruises will debut on the Danube and Rhine Rivers. Fares will be inclusive of all meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, Wi-Fi, onboard experiences, and also will include one shore excursion in each port.

Pre- and post-cruise stays in Prague and Budapest also will be available when itineraries open for booking in 2026.

“We are excited to offer guests the chance to experience the first-ever Celebrity River Cruises vacations in 2027 with Priority Booking Access,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “Guests will enjoy the warm hospitality Celebrity is known for, on innovative ships, with land experiences unlike any other, as we set sail on Europe’s iconic Danube and Rhine rivers.”
