Celebrity Cruises has some pretty amazing itineraries lined up for 2027 and 2028, and they go well beyond the usual Caribbean, Alaska, and Mexico choices. Think Iceland combined with Norway, an overnight in Egypt, a full Panama Canal transit, or a long Pacific crossing that connects Sydney, Tahiti, and Hawaii.
What really caught our attention, though, was the pricing. On several of these sailings, our all-in offers included drinks, Wi-Fi, and refundable deposits for roughly the same price as a veranda stateroom alone. In a few cases, the package actually cost less.
These are 13 of our favorite routes, including a shorter Norway alternative, with the itinerary details and booking considerations that make each one worth a second look.
A pricing note: The figures below are snapshots from when we reviewed these offers, not live quotes. Rates, cabin categories, refundable-deposit terms, and availability can change. Daily rates are per person, and savings comparisons are against the corresponding Celebrity package pricing available at that time.

Key Takeaways
- Several qualifying all-in offers matched or undercut veranda-only fares while adding drinks, Wi-Fi, and refundable deposits.
- Celebrity’s unusual routes include Antarctic scenic cruising, a full Panama Canal transit, and French Polynesia.
- Compare itineraries and cabin benefits before prioritizing the newest ship or lowest advertised fare.
- Limited group-space offers can disappear as cabins sell or allocations are withdrawn.
What Our All-In Deals Include
Before comparing the itineraries, it helps to understand what we mean by an all-in deal. The offers highlighted here generally bundled:
- Classic Beverage Package for two.
- Standard Wi-Fi for two.
- 100% refundable deposits on the qualifying offers discussed.
That last piece matters a lot when you are booking this far ahead. A cruise in 2028 can be a wonderful plan, but having flexibility in the deposit is valuable. Always confirm the applicable cancellation deadlines and booking conditions before putting money down.
The key is to compare the same stateroom category with the same inclusions. A lower cabin-only price does not necessarily mean a lower overall cost if you would otherwise buy drinks and internet separately.
We also would not assume that an all-in offer produces the same savings on every sailing. Some of these are exceptional. Others involve a small daily supplement, which still may be worthwhile depending on what you value.
1. Iceland and Norway on Celebrity Beyond
June 2028 | Southampton round trip | Edge Series
Iceland and the Norwegian fjords are among the combinations we get asked about most often. This Celebrity Beyond itinerary brings them together in one sailing, with four Iceland calls and four Norway calls, plus the appeal of a newer Edge Series ship.
The Southampton round trip keeps the embarkation and disembarkation plan straightforward. More importantly, you do not have to choose between Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and Norway’s fjord scenery.
The E1 Prime Edge Infinite Veranda was priced at about $371 per person per day. Our qualifying all-in deal was the same $371, adding the beverage package, Wi-Fi, and refundable deposits without increasing that daily fare.
The comparable regular Celebrity package price was about $514 per person per day. That is a difference of $143 daily, or roughly $2,000 per person over the 14-night sailing. It is a strong combination of itinerary and value.
2. Eight Nights of Norwegian Fjords on Celebrity Beyond
Eight nights | Southampton round trip | Edge Series
If the Iceland and Norway combination sounds wonderful but you would prefer fewer nights away, the Norway-only alternative is a great option. It removes Iceland and concentrates on the Norwegian coast, with plenty of fjord cruising.
The Prime Veranda fare was around $391 per person per day. At the time of our comparison, the all-in offer was actually slightly less than that cabin-only price.
That meant drinks for two, Wi-Fi for two, and refundable deposits were included while the fare itself came down a little. The corresponding regular Celebrity package price was around $533 per person per day, producing quoted savings of roughly $1,100 per person across the trip.
This is exactly why we encourage comparing the package rather than assuming it must cost more. Sometimes the better-included option is also the less expensive one.
3. Greece, Egypt, and Turkey on Celebrity Infinity
Athens round trip | Millennium Class
The highlight of this sailing is an overnight in Alexandria, Egypt, woven into a route through Greece and Turkey. That gives the itinerary a very different character from a standard Greek islands cruise.
The Egypt call creates an opportunity to plan an excursion to the Great Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Alongside that major history stop, the route includes Greek island destinations such as Rhodes before returning to Athens.
Celebrity Infinity is a Millennium Class ship, so this is more about the destination combination and classic Celebrity experience than the newest ship features.
The veranda rate we reviewed was about $340 per person per day. The all-in offer added approximately $28 per person per day, bringing it to around $368 with drinks, Wi-Fi, and refundable deposits.
The quoted savings against regular Celebrity package pricing were approximately $1,200. Even though the inclusions were not free in this example, the small daily upgrade made the offer worth considering.
4. Madeira, Lisbon, and Morocco on Celebrity Xcel
11 nights | Barcelona round trip | Edge Series
If you want a newer ship and an itinerary that breaks away from a predictable Mediterranean circuit, Celebrity Xcel has a particularly appealing option.
This 11-night Barcelona round trip includes an overnight in Madeira, a call in Lisbon, and a stop in Morocco. Madeira is the feature that really stands out to us. An overnight gives you more time than a typical daytime port visit and adds variety to the trip.
Barcelona also makes a convenient round-trip starting point, with an airport relatively close to the cruise port.
The all-in price we reviewed was about $368 per person per day, compared with roughly $486 for the regular Celebrity package. The difference is $118 per person per day, or about $1,300 per person over 11 nights. For two people, that is approximately $2,600.
This is a nice example of getting both an interesting port combination and substantial savings without moving to an older ship.
5. Singapore to Hong Kong on Celebrity Solstice
Early February 2028 | One-way sailing | Solstice Class
This sailing on the renewed Celebrity Solstice had one of the biggest pricing differences we found, with quoted savings of more than $5,000 for the sailing through the all-in offer.
The itinerary itself deserves just as much attention. Starting in Singapore and finishing in Hong Kong, it takes in highlights of Thailand and Vietnam, including:
- Koh Samui.
- Bangkok.
- Ho Chi Minh City.
- Chan May.
- An overnight in Ha Long Bay.
Ha Long Bay is spectacular, and the overnight is a major selling point. For some background on why the landscape is so special, UNESCO’s Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Archipelago listing is a useful planning resource.
These Southeast Asia itineraries have become very popular. Celebrity’s addition of Solstice alongside Millennium in the region gives travelers more choices, but we would not assume a standout fare like this will remain available indefinitely.
6. New Zealand and the Sounds on Celebrity Edge
Sydney round trip | Edge Series
Celebrity Edge is one of our favorite ships, and we have sailed on her several times. Pairing that ship with New Zealand’s scenery makes this itinerary especially attractive.
The Sydney round trip includes New Zealand port calls, Auckland, and scenic cruising through the sounds. You get both Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound, rather than having to choose between them.
Friends have told us that Doubtful Sound is just as spectacular as Milford Sound, with a less crowded feel. This route gives you a chance to make your own comparison.
Here again, the all-in offer was essentially the same price as the veranda fare alone. Adding drinks, Wi-Fi, and refundable deposits without a meaningful increase in the rate made this one a particularly easy package comparison.
7. Antarctica and Patagonia on Celebrity Equinox
Two weeks | Buenos Aires round trip | Solstice Class
Antarctica is a huge bucket-list destination, and Celebrity Equinox offers a way to experience its scenery without booking an expedition ship.
This two-week Buenos Aires round trip combines Antarctic scenic cruising with destinations in southern South America. Highlights include Ushuaia, Patagonia, Montevideo in Uruguay, and a crossing of the Drake Passage.
The important distinction: this is not an expedition cruise, and you do not go ashore in Antarctica. The Antarctic experience is scenic cruising from the ship.
We see it as a more affordable introduction to the region, and potentially a way to decide whether an expedition cruise belongs in your future. We were booked to take this cruise in January 2027 and could not wait.
Availability was already tight when we reviewed the 2028 sailing. The all-in offers remaining were guarantee cabins, meaning Celebrity would assign the specific stateroom rather than letting you select it.
For this particular route, we strongly favor booking early. If your preferred year is full, keep an eye on future itinerary announcements rather than counting on a last-minute opening. We mentioned 2029 as a possible future planning target, not as a confirmed sailing schedule.
8. Japan and Korea on Celebrity Solstice
Late August 2028 | Tokyo round trip | Solstice Class
Japan is another destination we are always excited about. This itinerary on the renewed Celebrity Solstice offers the convenience of a Tokyo round trip with a particularly useful overnight for Kyoto and Osaka.
That overnight gives you more flexibility to choose how to spend your time between the two cities. Nagasaki is another highlight, and the Japan and Korea combination adds variety to the route.
We were preparing for a separate Celebrity Millennium trip from South Korea to Japan when we reviewed these offers, so this part of the world was very much on our minds.
The Prime Veranda all-in offer was another one worth comparing closely with the standard fare. As with Southeast Asia, these sailings are popular enough that we encourage making plans early rather than expecting your preferred category to remain open.
9. British Isles, Galway, and Shetland on Celebrity Apex
May 2028 | Amsterdam round trip | Edge Series
A British Isles sailing on Celebrity Apex combines an Edge Series ship with a varied collection of ports. May is a lovely time to be in this part of the world, and the Amsterdam round trip is an appealing starting point.
The route includes Liverpool, Irish destinations including Galway, Glasgow, the Shetland Islands, and the Inverness area. There is even an opportunity to go looking for the Loch Ness Monster before returning to Amsterdam.
The all-in upgrade was only about $10 per person per day above the E1 Prime Edge Infinite Veranda fare. The quoted package savings for two were approximately $1,200.
This was also a good reminder to price AquaClass, not just a veranda. The AquaClass all-in rate shown was around $361 per person per day, close enough to the veranda offer to deserve attention.
AquaClass adds access to Blu, its dedicated restaurant, along with thermal spa access. When the price gap is small, those benefits can make the higher category a better fit than the entry-level veranda offer.
10. A Full Panama Canal Transit on Celebrity Summit
Tampa to Los Angeles | Millennium Class
Not every Panama Canal cruise goes through the entire canal. Some sail from Florida, enter part of the lock system, and return to Florida.
This Celebrity Summit itinerary is a full transit. You start in Tampa, pass all the way through the Panama Canal, and finish in Los Angeles.
We did a full transit in January the previous year and had an amazing time. If going through the whole canal is the point of your trip, that distinction should be right at the top of your checklist.
The route is not just about transit day, either. Stops include Grand Cayman, Colón, Costa Rica, and additional ports along the way. We liked the pricing, but the bigger reason to choose it is that complete coast-to-coast itinerary.
Because it is a one-way sailing, remember to compare the trip using arrival flights into Tampa and departure flights from Los Angeles.
11. Tahiti and French Polynesia on Celebrity Edge
16 nights | Sydney to Honolulu | Edge Series
Tahiti and French Polynesia are still on our bucket list, and this looks like a beautiful way to get there.
The 16-night Celebrity Edge sailing starts in Sydney, calls at the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, continues to Papeete in Tahiti and Moorea, and finishes in Honolulu.
This is a long Pacific journey, not a short island-hopping cruise. The appeal is the combination of destinations, time at sea, and the chance to enjoy an Edge Series ship between those major stops.
The pricing had another pleasant surprise: the all-in offer was less than the regular veranda-only fare. For a voyage of this length, having drinks and Wi-Fi included can make the fare comparison especially meaningful.
12. Italy, Croatia, and Bari on Celebrity Constellation
2028 | Millennium Class
Celebrity Constellation offers a different kind of value. This is an older Millennium Class ship, with more of that classic Celebrity feel and fewer people on board than the newer Edge Series ships.
You will not get every newer-ship feature, but you still have the food and service that many people enjoy about Celebrity. For the right itinerary, that can be a very worthwhile trade-off.
This route combines Italian ports with Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia, plus Bari, which is returning to Celebrity itineraries in 2028. The Croatian coastline is stunningly scenic, and this is a strong destination-led choice.
The pricing we highlighted was under $300 per person per day. If your priority is where you are going rather than sailing on the newest ship, Constellation deserves a place on the shortlist.
13. The Adriatic, Greece, and Southern Italy on Celebrity Ascent
10 nights in 2027 | Rome round trip | Edge Series
For an Adriatic itinerary paired with a newer ship, Celebrity Ascent has a fabulous 10-night option starting and ending in Rome.
The route includes Messina in Sicily, Corfu in Greece, Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia, Montenegro, and Naples before returning to Rome. It is a lovely mix of southern Italy, Greek scenery, and the Adriatic coast.
The quoted all-in savings were around $1,400 for two people. There were also Concierge Class offers at less than $10 more per person per day than the veranda offer, with some AquaClass availability as well.
That makes this another sailing where we would compare more than one cabin category. A relatively small supplement may get you benefits you would enjoy throughout the cruise.
How to Choose the Right Sailing and Protect the Value
There is a lot to like across these 13 options, but the best Celebrity cruise is not automatically the newest ship or the lowest advertised fare.
We would work through the decision in this order:
- Choose the destination combination. Iceland plus Norway, Japan plus Korea, or Tahiti plus Hawaii may be the reason to take the trip.
- Check what kind of experience the route actually provides. Antarctica scenic cruising is not an expedition landing, and a partial Panama Canal visit is not a full transit.
- Compare cabin categories. Veranda, Concierge Class, and AquaClass can sometimes be surprisingly close in price.
- Compare equivalent packages. Include the drinks, Wi-Fi, and deposit terms you actually want.
- Confirm whether you select your cabin. A guarantee offer can mean giving Celebrity control over the specific stateroom assignment.
Finally, do not count on these all-in rates being available at the last minute. Many of the offers we discussed come from limited group-space allocations. A block might contain only 10 or 15 staterooms. Once those are booked, the offer can disappear, and unsold space can also be withdrawn as the departure approaches.
That does not mean every sailing requires an immediate decision. It does mean that a genuinely good offer on the right itinerary is worth evaluating while it is available, especially when refundable-deposit terms give you useful flexibility.
We can help compare current rates, stateroom categories, ships, and itinerary options personally. Whether you are choosing between two of these Celebrity sailings or planning another ocean or river cruise, our goal is to match the trip to what matters most to you.
