Celebrity Cruises announced today that the remaining inventory for its inaugural 2027 sailings will be open to the public starting tomorrow, Sept. 25.

The release comes after the line announced their entry into the river cruise market earlier this year. Guests will soon have the chance to book seven-night sailings on the new Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker river ships, which will sail the Rhine and Danube rivers from Budapest, Hungary, to the Bavarian region.

“We are thrilled to open remaining inventory on 2027 Celebrity Cruises sailings, following Priority Booking Access selling out earlier this month in just six minutes,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “The response to the innovative design and unmatched experience Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker will deliver has been overwhelmingly positive. Guests are going to love sailing Europe’s Rhine and Danube rivers the Celebrity Way on our fleet of elevated, cutting-edge ships.”

Celebrity River Cruises marks the brand’s debut in the river sector.
Highlights of the ships include new designs, open decks with 360-degree views, the first-ever cantilevered dining pods (known as Magic Edge), an infinity-edge plunge pool and five boutique stateroom categories. Guests will also find eight restaurants and bars onboard, including Celebrity signatures like Martini Bar, Sunset Bar and Cafe al Bacio.
