Celebrity Cruises is raising the bar for onboard entertainment with the launch of the Celebrity Xcel in November, promising its most extensive and diverse offering yet. This commitment to delivering a world-class entertainment destination is evident in the record-breaking number of over 75 resident performers who will deliver an exciting variety of shows, music, and interactive activities from morning to night. The brand has meticulously designed every experience to spark connection and delight for every guest, ensuring endless entertainment options to match every mood.
At the core of this spectacular lineup are three brand-new, high-tech production shows in The Theatre: Mainstage, a lively concert experience transporting guests to iconic music festivals; Between Takes, a glamorous and chaotic look at a 1920s Hollywood backlot; and Chapters, a poetic journey of self-discovery through nature. These productions feature Celebrity’s largest cast ever, combining world-class artists, dancers, and aerialists with cutting-edge technology like kinetic lighting and a massive curved LED screen for a truly immersive spectacle.
Beyond the main stage, The Club introduces two interactive shows: 254 West, an ’80s-themed high-energy dance party, and HOTEL, a comedic cabaret-style mystery. Guests can also look forward to new themed dance parties like the Saddle Up Saloon and a candlelit classic rock concert. A unique feature is The Bazaar, which extends the destination experience through four cultural festivals—Carnival, Aqua, Viva, and Flora—that celebrate the local flavor of ports visited. Furthermore, new games like High Stakes and Brain Spin offer fun, friendly competition. The Xcel Dream Makers program, which involved guests in finalizing some of the onboard entertainment, highlights Celebrity Cruises’ dedication to creating a tailor-made vacation experience.
