Celebrity Cruises Is Expanding Its Caribbean Lineup With Eight Ships Sailing From Florida
Celebrity Cruises is charting a broad Caribbean expansion for 2027 and 2028, with eight ships sailing from four Florida ports and reaching 65 destinations across the region. The lineup includes new routes, more long-haul itineraries, and expanded calls on some of the Caribbean’s most sought-after islands.
From Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Celebrity Beyond will operate seven-night, year-round itineraries that include the brand’s first dedicated program to Grand Turk. Sailings also feature visits to Perfect Day at CocoCay and extended exploration of the ABC Islands, including Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. The program gives travelers access to Royal Caribbean Group’s private island experience along with the option to wander Willemstad, the colorful capital of Curaçao and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Celebrity Ascent will add more 10- to 14-night sailings in the Southern Caribbean, with an emphasis on longer journeys through the Panama Canal and calls on islands like Antigua, Saint Lucia and Barbados. The itineraries build on strong demand for extended cruising in the region.
Celebrity Xcel will return to the Caribbean with a collection of seven-night eastern and western routes. Highlights include time on Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach, Magens Bay in St. Thomas and Cockleshell Bay in St. Kitts. On board, guests can experience The Bazaar, the line’s immersive venue offering food and entertainment inspired by the ports on each itinerary.
Fort Lauderdale will also serve as homeport for Celebrity Silhouette, which is offering six- and eight-night cruises to the ABC Islands, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Mexico. Celebrity Eclipse will operate nine- to twelve-night sailings designed for travelers seeking longer warm-weather escapes.
For weekend getaways, Celebrity Reflection continues its short-cruise program from Fort Lauderdale, with three- and four-night itineraries to Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bimini, Nassau and Key West.
Across Florida’s east and west coasts, Celebrity Apex will return to Port Canaveral, while Celebrity Constellation will sail from Tampa. Both ships will offer seven-night voyages calling on Key West and The Bahamas, rounding out the brand’s widened Caribbean footprint for 2027 and 2028
