Celebrity River Cruises opens bookings for remaining 2027 itineraries

Celebrity River Cruises, the newly launched river division of Celebrity Cruises, has opened the balance of its inaugural season for general booking from 25 September 2025.

This follows “unprecedented demand” for its priority booking access which sold out in just six minutes on 3 September.

In 2027, the line will operate 33 seven-night sailings on the Rhine and Danube on two new-build ships, Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker.

Drawing inspiration from the brand’s Edge Series ocean vessels, the ships feature a patent-pending layout with expanded space, increased light and personalised touches such as on-demand butler service.

Each ship will have capacity for around 170 passengers and there will be five stateroom categories and eight restaurants and bars onboard, including favourites from the Edge Class series, as well as retractable dining pods, an always-open top deck and infinity plunge pool.

All-inclusive itineraries will include dining, drinks, Wi-Fi, daily excursions and onboard activities. The 33 sailings will visit Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam and Strasbourg, with shore experiences ranging from Austrian wine tastings and Budapest thermal baths to cycling tours along the Danube. 

Pre- and post-cruise extensions will also be offered.
