Celebrity Cruises has unveiled “Dream Makers,” a groundbreaking initiative inviting travelers to help craft their ideal vacation experience aboard the Celebrity Xcel, the newest addition to the award-winning Edge Series. This innovative program breaks the mold by involving the public in key decisions across culinary, entertainment, and interior design, ensuring that the ship’s offerings resonate with its future guests.
An Industry-First Opportunity
Dream Makers is more than a marketing concept; it’s a collaborative platform where participants will shape Celebrity Xcel’s identity through online polls and exclusive in-person events. From choosing dining options to perfecting entertainment experiences, Dream Makers will have direct input into the ship’s seven new, yet-to-be-revealed spaces. The program democratizes the cruise design process, elevating Celebrity Xcel into a vacation destination shaped by real travelers.
Innovating the Guest Experience
The Dream Makers initiative empowers participants to shape every aspect of the ship’s ambiance and offerings. From selecting textiles and designing key interior spaces to curating menus and dining concepts, contributors will ensure every detail reflects their vision. The entertainment experience will also bear their mark, with guests selecting playlists, designing costumes, and even shaping headline shows. This collaborative approach ensures that Celebrity Xcel’s debut in November 2025 will deliver a vacation experience unlike any other at sea.
A New Era in Sustainability and Travel
Celebrity Xcel is not only pushing boundaries in guest experience but also in environmental responsibility. Equipped with the first-ever tri-fuel capable engine, the ship represents a pivotal step in Royal Caribbean Group’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The vessel recently reached a significant milestone with its float-out ceremony in Saint-Nazaire, France, marking the completion of its exterior construction.
Setting Sail for a Global Adventure
Celebrity Xcel will embark on her inaugural season from Fort Lauderdale, offering seven-night itineraries to the Caribbean. In Summer 2026, the ship will introduce travelers to the Mediterranean with extended journeys from Barcelona and Athens, featuring overnight stays in enchanting destinations like Madeira.
For those eager to join this pioneering movement and leave their mark on the future of travel, the Dream Makers program awaits. Learn more about this extraordinary opportunity at www.celebritycruises.com/xceldreammakers.
