In an industry first, cruisers will help make
key decisions across culinary, entertainment and interior design to
finalize Celebrity Xcel, the cruise line's newest billion-dollar
ship.
MIAMI, Jan. 21,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrity Cruises is inviting
vacationers worldwide to create their dream vacation experience
on Celebrity Xcel® with Xcel
'Dream MakersSM.' Open to all who wish to join, this
global community will test, try and vote on new experiences. Their
selections will launch on Celebrity Xcel in November 2025 for vacationers to enjoy, further
elevating the fifth ship in the cruise line's award-winning
Edge® Series into a class of its own.
CELEBRITY CRUISES LAUNCHES 'DREAM MAKERS,'
FIRST OF ITS KIND INVITATION FOR TRAVELERS TO DREAM UP THEIR
PERFECT VACATION
"We want to ensure our guests love our products and experiences,
so involving them in the process to perfect Celebrity Xcel
was a great way to achieve this," shares Michael Scheiner, chief marketing and product
officer of Celebrity Cruises. "Celebrity Cruises is known for
ground-breaking innovation in ship design and experiences unlike
any other at sea, when Xcel launches guests won't have just
found their happy place, they'll have helped us build it."
In an industry first, Dream Makers will have the final say
across key elements of the vacation experience to be offered on
Celebrity Xcel when she sets sail. Through online polls and
one-of-a-kind experiential in-person events, the public will
perfect the ship's design, culinary and entertainment
offerings.
Dream Makers will put their design, experiential and foodie
skills to the test on Celebrity's newest ship, making decisions
across key spaces, including the ship's seven, new,
yet-to-be-revealed experiences. Dream Makers will make their mark
on the Celebrity Xcel by:
- Choosing textiles, managing interior design elements
and curating service offerings;
- Picking their favorite dishes and beverages, choosing table
settings and shaping dining concepts; and
- Providing input on headline shows, curate props and costumes,
select playlists and partake in selections to appoint pivotal
entertainment positions onboard.
With the help of Dream Makers, Celebrity Xcel will push
the boundaries of leisure travel. The ship reached a major
milestone on January 18, floating out
of dry dock at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in
Saint-Nazaire, France. The float
out ceremony celebrated the completion of the ship's exterior,
bringing Celebrity Xcel one step closer to welcoming guests.
The innovative ship will also advance Royal Caribbean Group's
decades-long commitment to sustaining the planet with the first
tri-fuel capable engine, representing an important steppingstone on
the company's journey to Destination Net Zero, its vision for
net-zero emissions by 2050.
Celebrity Xcel is sailing her inaugural season from
Fort Lauderdale, offering
seven-night itineraries alternating between the Bahamas, Mexico, Cayman
Islands, Puerto Plata, St.
Thomas, and St. Maarten. In Summer
2026, Celebrity Xcel will set sail on her inaugural European
season where guests can immerse themselves in the Mediterranean
like never before on seven-to 11-night journeys out of Barcelona and Athens, including all new overnight stays in
Madeira, Portugal.
