Celebrity Cruises reached a major milestone for food and beverage excellence today, securing 25 total honours at the 2026 Wine Spectator Awards. The cruise brand continues to hold the most awarded wine program at sea, receiving 17 distinguished “Best of Award of Excellence” honours for the first time, alongside eight “Award of Excellence” recognitions - bringing its impressive total to 165 awards over 14 consecutive years.
The accolades span Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series, Solstice Series, and Millennium Series ships, including two brand new Celebrity Cruises venues. Trattoria Rossa, which debuted with the revitalised Celebrity Solstice in March 2026, serves Roman and Southern Italian cuisine and has quickly become a guest favourite. Mosaic on Celebrity Xcel, which set sail in November 2025, serves reimagined and elevated dishes inspired by the regions the ship is sailing.
Also recognised by Wine Spectator is Le Voyage – the exclusive restaurant by renowned chef, Daniel Boulud, Celebrity’s global culinary ambassador – which earlier this year became the first Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rated restaurant at sea. These latest honours underscore Celebrity Cruises’ steadfast commitment to unparalleled wine service and its leadership in setting new standards for excellence within the cruise industry.
“Celebrity Cruises constantly redefines the possibilities of food and beverage at sea, and this industry leading recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence,” said Jan Sorensen, Celebrity Cruises’ Vice President of Food and Beverage Operations. “With up to 32 food and beverage venues on board, we offer something for every guest’s preference, while providing authentic, globally inspired experiences like no other.”
On board every Celebrity Cruises ship, guests can enjoy a robust wine selection and a variety of wine-focused programming. Celebrity sails with a trained sommelier in every restaurant, eager to help guide guests through the more than 500 wine selections onboard.
