Few things can bring a family together like a Celebrity cruise. Aboard Celebrity, children experience the time of their lives. The Celebrity X-Club Youth Program offers a full compliment of age-specific activities and entertainment all year round. Children can expand their world through the exploration of science and nature or participate in a full menu of activities including talent shows, treasure hunts, dinner parties,* the Late-Night Slumber Party* and more. Special areas of the ship are even set aside as "children only," such as the Shipmates Fun Factory, teen centers and pools. While the ship is docked, guests have the option of leaving their children onboard for an Afternoon Get-Together* and lots of other exciting activities in the Fun Factory. Guests can feel secure leaving their children in Celebrity's caring hands. A close ratio of professionally trained counselors to children helps to keep an intimate, more personal approach to each child's cruise experience.

Aboard Celebrity, you'll find unlimited opportunities to indulge your interests. Attend an informative onboard lecture or discover unique treasures in our upscale boutiques. Collect fine pieces of art during an onboard auction. Our lavish Vegas style spectaculars promise extravagant entertainment for all, or try your luck in the exhilarating casino. Then take in the non-stop, high-energy of our nightclubs and lounges. Experience the amazing sights and sounds at The Bar at the Edge of the EarthSM, an other worldly lounging experience created exclusively for Celebrity by Cirque du Soleil.

Aboard Celebrity, we invite you to indulge your mind, body and spirit. Let us transport you to a whole new world with treatments inspired by rituals from exotic cultures in our world-famous AquaSpa® by Elemis. Or, if you prefer, challenge yourself to an invigorating spinning class overlooking a vast ocean through breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows. Then pamper yourself with a deluxe manicure or luxurious facial and enjoy every moment to the fullest. Regardless of how you unwind, it's our goal to leave you feeling renewed and revived.

Maybe it's the fact that you're greeted by name. Perhaps it's because you merely mentioned a favorite dessert and it appears without your asking. As you cool off with chilled towels upon your return from a shore excursion, you just know something is different aboard Celebrity. With one staff member for every two guests, Celebrity's personal service anticipates your every need. In your stateroom, outside by the pool, in the AquaSpa®, anywhere at all, at anytime, our onboard family goes the extra mile to ensure every aspect of your cruise is just the way you want it. Combining traditional European hospitality and warm engaging service, Celebrity's service is consistently top-rated by such experts as Condé Nast Traveler.
