Pair your meal with the remarkable wine collection, a recipient of Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence for 10 consecutive years. Celebrity places a premium on wine, with certified sommeliers guiding each dining experience.

For an exceptional treat, try Chef’s Table by Daniel Boulud, offering a galley tour, a five-course feast, and a cookbook souvenir. With 33 dining venues, including French at Le Grand Bistro, Italian at Tuscan Grille, and innovation at Eden Restaurant, Celebrity’s culinary offerings are unparalleled.

Wellness

Celebrity Beyond presents a lavish spa featuring the SEA Thermal Suite, complete with a hammam, crystalarium, salt room, steam room, infrared sauna, float room, heated loungers, and rainfall water therapy room. The treatment menu offers Kérastase hair services, acupuncture, ELEMIS Biotec facials, and more. The gym hosts F45, cardio boxing, LIT bungee, and pulse barre classes.

Wellness extends to in-stateroom options like acupressure mats, self-massaging domes, a crystal-infused meditation pillow, and an infinity-shaped roller. AquaClass staterooms and Aqua Sky Suites provide these amenities. Wellness continues at The Spa Café, serving detox smoothies with coconut water, mango, kale, and chia seeds.

Design

Celebrity has brought together a team of acclaimed architects and designers, including interior designer Nate Berkus, British designer Kelly Hoppen CBE, Paris-based design firm Jouin Manku, and architect Tom Wright. Wright’s innovative creation, the Magic Carpet, offers a unique venue experience that moves along the ship’s exterior.

The Retreat, Celebrity’s exclusive area, is even more expansive on Beyond, featuring larger accommodations and a two-story sundeck. Even standard staterooms offer more space, with Edge Series staterooms being 23 percent larger than Solstice Series staterooms. Beyond’s Nate Berkus-designed Sunset Bar provides a captivating outdoor setting, taking inspiration from global beach clubs and offering more space compared to previous ships.

Other Amenities

Beyond offering spacious accommodations, Celebrity goes the extra mile with unique amenities. Enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast through room service or let your kids join the free children’s program while you indulge in Broadway-worthy performances, live music, or the onboard casino. Yet, the standout benefit is the opportunity to explore up to eight countries on a single trip, all while unpacking just once.
