About Celebrity River Cruises
“Celebrity's exceptional level of personal service, award-winning cuisine, world-famous amenities and accommodations that are the most spacious at sea, not only ensure an unforgettable cruise experience, but forge a lasting relationship between ourselves and our guests. It's no surprise that Celebrity guests and the travel press, such as Condé Nast Traveler, consistently rate Celebrity Cruises as one of the world's finest cruise lines. Experience for yourself what sets Celebrity apart.” — Celebrity River Cruises
Celebrity Cruises is bringing its brand of premium travel to Europe's rivers. The line has announced an initial order of ten river ships, with the first vessels set to begin sailing in August 2027 and five names already unveiled: Celebrity Boundless, Celebrity Compass, Celebrity Roamer, Celebrity Seeker, and Celebrity Wanderer. Bookings for the 2027 and 2028 seasons are now open, with primarily 7-night itineraries on the Danube and Rhine — including themed sailings for Europe's Christmas markets and the Netherlands' tulip season.
The ships themselves are designed to keep the landscape front and center: open decks, seamless spaces that blur inside and out, an infinity-edge pool, and staterooms with destination-inspired design. The signature accommodations are the first-ever Skylight Infinite Balcony Suites, with king-size beds and spa-style bathrooms, and select suite categories include butler service. Six dining venues promise what Celebrity calls the most dynamic dining experience on Europe's rivers, with regionally inspired menus and flexible all-day access.
Fares are refreshingly complete — all meals, beverages including alcohol, Wi-Fi, entertainment, and one shore excursion per day are included. Itineraries reach Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Belgrade, Amsterdam, Prague, Basel, Strasbourg, and Cologne, among others, making this a natural next step for ocean-cruise devotees ready to see Europe from its storied rivers.

Celebrity Boundless
Celebrity Boundless takes river cruising into new territory, pairing next-generation engineering with a design philosophy centered on freedom and flow. Expansive indoor–outdoor lounges dissolve the boundary between ship and shore, while the hybrid-assisted propulsion keeps each journey quiet, smooth, and remarkably calm. Thoughtful spaces invite you to wander, pause, or settle in as the world drifts by, from our signature cantilevered dining pods to open-air terraces created for conversation and connection. Here, every part of the ship is an invitation to explore your way, in your time.
