Celebrity is launching river cruises

Hi there! Celebrity is venturing into river cruises and will have 5 boats built at the Saint-Nazaire shipyards. Mich74

Hi Michel, Some really interesting news! I can’t wait to see what they’ll offer—this could be an amazing experience to try out 😉

The ships will have an Edge-class inspiration. Worth checking out... lots of boats to test lol

Okay, thanks for the info—but where exactly will these cruises take place?

Apparently in Europe for now. They’ve planned 10 boats.

Hi Michel, Thanks for the info—this is great news! Let’s hope it lives up to our expectations.

Hi Catherine River cruises might be for later when we can’t travel too far lol😉

That gives them time to build the boats 😏 😉

You're right😉 the first one will launch in 2027. Still time to do the others 😉

The idea is pretty good!

They're targeting a slightly younger market segment than current river cruise passengers, but it's important to keep in mind that the main challenge for river cruising is the size of the boats. To pass under bridges and through locks, they can't just do whatever they want—so it's tricky to offer boats with lots of activities...

But I'm curious and can't wait to see how this turns out!

Hello Great point about those boats that sail on size-limited rivers. The interiors will surely be well-appointed....😉 mich74

Are you interested?

It’s not cheap... way more expensive than an ocean cruise with the same company! https://www.celebritycruises.com/cruises?search=voyageType:RIVER&country=USA

Hi there, That must be ultra-luxurious for that price. 😉
