Are you ready to trade the February frost for the Caribbean sun? I am thrilled to invite you to join our next hosted group getaway! Whether you have traveled with our lively group before or you are a newbie looking to make lifelong friends, there is a place for you in our circle. We are heading out on the brand-new, stunning Celebrity Xcel for a 7-night Eastern Caribbean escape departing February 7, 2027.
Many of us have explored the seas together in the past, and those shared memories are what make these trips so special. For this winter escape, I want to bring everyone together—old friends and new faces alike—for a week of relaxation, laughter, and incredible discoveries.
Celebrity Xcel: Taking the Edge Class to the Next Level
For those of you who already know and love the Celebrity brand, you will find that the Xcel takes everything that made the Edge Series award-winning and elevates it even further. Celebrity has truly listened to guest feedback, resulting in a ship that feels both familiar and refreshingly evolved.
If you are new to Celebrity, you have picked the perfect time to start. This class of ship is designed to be outward-facing, connecting you to the ocean at every turn. On the Xcel, those connections are deeper than ever.

From a larger, more social Martini Bar at the heart of the Grand Plaza to a more spacious Retreat lounge and sundeck for suite guests.
The Celebrity Pool Club: A reimagined pool deck that feels like an exclusive resort, featuring more shaded seating, VIP cabanas, and even pool valets to assist you.
Innovative Entertainment: The Xcel features the most expansive entertainment lineup in the fleet, with high-tech shows in The Theatre and "The Attic" at The Club—a new adult-focused social space with retro arcade games, darts, and shuffleboard.
The Bazaar: A total transformation of the Eden space found on earlier ships. It is now a vibrant, three-deck "destination hub" that brings the spirit of the places we visit onboard through themed festivals, local markets, and live performances.
Of course, if you prefer the classics, the four main dining rooms (Cyprus, Normandie, Tuscan, and Cosmopolitan) remain absolutely world-class and are ready for you to enjoy.
Specialty dining options:
Bora: A new rooftop Mediterranean showstopper replacing the Rooftop Garden Grill. It is perfect for a lively brunch or an intimate dinner under the stars.
Le Voyage: The signature fine dining experience curated by the legendary Daniel Boulud.
Fine Cut Steakhouse: The place to go for high-quality filets and a classic upscale atmosphere.
Raw on 5: A seafood lover's dream featuring fresh sushi and oysters.
Mosaic: Replacing the former Eden restaurant, this venue offers elevated, destination-inspired dishes with an open-kitchen feel.
The Celebrity Xcel offers nearly 30 different stateroom and suite categories, and the options below are just a few highlights! I look forward to helping you book your preferred infinite veranda, walk-out veranda, ocean view, or suite to make this trip exactly what you want it to be.
Exclusive Group Perks
Because you are traveling with our group, every room will receive onboard credit! Plus, you will be invited to our private onboard events. In the past, we have hosted everything from pizza-making classes and wine tastings to exclusive cocktail parties. It is the perfect way to bond with the group while enjoying the ship.
Winter escapes on Celebrity sailings like this one sell out very early. Don’t wait to claim your spot in the sun!

In January 2026, most opted for the Aqua Class staterooms and suites, which included spa-inspired staterooms to indulge you at every turn, complimentary access to the SEA Thermal Suite in The Spa, and exclusive dining at Blu. For 2027, others and I have booked other balconies and suites so we can use the price difference to enjoy more specialty dining, shore excursions, or indulge in the spa.
These are 23% larger than previous classes! At the touch of a button, your entire living space transforms into an open-air veranda.
Total living space: 201 sq. ft. and Infinite Veranda: 42 sq. ft.
A fan favorite with a private walk-out veranda and outdoor seating, perfect for watching the ship's wake.
Stateroom: 228 sq. ft. and Walk Veranda: 89 sq. ft.
Xcel has twice as many of these rooms as sister ships, offering solo travelers their own private space with an Infinite Veranda.
Total living space: 142 sq. ft and Infinite Veranda: 42 sq. ft
So much more than a suite, The Retreat isn’t a place. It isn’t an amenity. It isn’t a service. It’s all of this and more. The Retreat includes stunning accommodations, a private restaurant, and exclusive lounge and sundeck* that rival any high-end resort. Your dedicated team of attendants, concierges, and your Personal Retreat Host will do everything to ensure you never have to lift a finger on vacation.
Indulge in 298 sq. ft. of luxury with a massive 192 sq. ft. veranda.
The perfectly designed Sky Suite offers a blend of expansive views and intimate luxury. These large suites feature a king-sized bed from our signature Cashmere™ Mattress and a spacious, private veranda. The split bathroom features a large spa tub with shower. Sky Suites offer the latest technology that allows you to precisely adjust nearly every comfort feature in your stateroom. The in-room automation allows you to control everything from lighting, to shades, to temperature, and service with a simple touch screen.
Offering 319 sq. ft. of interior space and a 79 sq. ft. private veranda.
Suite options include the incredible perks of The Retreat, featuring a private sundeck, lounge, Luminae restaurant, a dedicated butler, and priority boarding.
These are just a few of the stateroom options. Call me for details at 770-729-1092.
