Celebrity River Cruises to open deposits for inaugural 2027 sailings.

Secure Priority Booking Access to be among the first to book a 2027 inaugural season vacation on Europe’s iconic Danube and Rhine rivers.

Be among the first to experience Celebrity River Cruises, as Priority Booking Access opens at 14:00 BST (09:00 EDT) on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. Guests who place a fully refundable £400/€450 deposit will receive early access to book a 2027 sailing ahead of the general public and be among the first to receive the highly anticipated itinerary and stateroom details.

“We are excited to offer guests the chance to experience the first-ever Celebrity River Cruises vacations in 2027 with Priority Booking Access,” shares Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “Guests will enjoy the warm hospitality Celebrity is known for, on innovative ships, with land experiences unlike any other, as we set sail on Europe’s iconic Danube and Rhine rivers.”

Guests will explore historic cities aboard Celebrity’s fleet of transformative river ships that blend the elevated design and sophistication of Edge Series ocean ships with European charm. Discover the Danube and Rhine with Celebrity River Cruises fares inclusive of all meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, Wi-Fi, onboard experiences and one shore excursion each day. Guests will also have the option to add a pre- or post-cruise stay in Prague and Budapest when they open for booking in 2026.

Celebrity River Cruises is a natural extension of Celebrity’s premium offering that will bring its unique service-first approach to the river. Guests will get the keys to sail through the heart of culturally and historically significant cities, experience locally inspired cuisine and unique shore experiences – The Celebrity Way. With ships that will give guests 360 degrees of breathtaking views, every moment will be designed to immerse guests in the beauty of the journey.
