Celebrity Cruises reveals details of first river cruise vessels

Celebrity Cruises has unveiled details of its new river cruise vessels, claiming its first two ships, called Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker, will be the “most innovative ships on the river”.

The line previously announced that limited priority booking access would open today (September 3) for 2027 sailings on the Rhine and Danube, but as of 2.30pm its website featured a message confirming that "due to unprecedented demand, our Priority Booking Access is now closed".

In tandem with the priority booking, Celebrity confirmed “patent-pending” details of its onboard product, which it says “combines the iconic design of Celebrity’s Edge Series ocean ships with European charm”.
