Speaking on fifth Edge series ship – Celebrity Xcel – on Sunday (16 November), ahead of its naming ceremony in Fort Lauderdale, US, Celebrity president Laura Hodges Bethge shared more details about the brand’s river ships.

Sailings on Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker sold out in minutes earlier this year when they went on sale. The maiden itinerary programme will start in 2027.
