The Bottom Line

Celebrity Cruises are designed for middle-aged and older travelers who desire quiet relaxation and sophistication. These cruise are not designed for families who desire boisterous entertainment options or travelers seeking luxury amenities. Families are welcome, but activities are limited when compared to other well-known cruise lines. Celebrity cruises are perfect for travelers who appreciate fine art, culture, and self-improvement.

We recently returned from a cruise on Celebrity. The ship was very well maintained, the food was great. The best part was our Captain, Captain Kate.
