This expansive spa will feature Celebrity’s first-ever Hydra Room for water-focused wellness experiences. Catch some rays at the spa’s outdoor Vitamin D Deck, exclusive to Thermal Suite guests. Choose from more than 120 spa treatments during your trip.
Celebrity Flagship Store
Exclusively available aboard Celebrity Xcel, the brand’s first-ever retail store doubles as an interactive exhibit for all things Celebrity Cruises. Take part in trivia and view vintage artifacts. A variety of items are available to purchase including branded products and customizable goods.
“Celebrity Xcel will set sail with seven new elevated experiences that invite guests to escape their daily routine and make memories that will last a lifetime,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president, Celebrity Cruises. “With so much innovation at every turn, the journey will be just as fun as the destinations themselves.”
