Celebrity Cruises Summer 2028 Europe Collection is Here
10/08/2026
Some places never lose their magic. The Norwegian Fjords still leave travellers speechless. The Greek Isles continue to glow beneath endless blue skies. The Mediterranean serves up postcard-perfect harbours, colourful waterfronts and long lunches that somehow turn into sunset dinners. Then there are destinations you discover by sea that feel like you've stumbled upon one of Europe's best-kept secrets.
That's exactly what makes Celebrity Cruises' Summer 2028 Europe Collection so exciting.
With sailings departing from Southampton, Barcelona, Rome, and beyond, the newest collection brings together spectacular destinations, beautifully designed ships, and itineraries that invite you to savour every moment. Whether you're dreaming of towering waterfalls in Norway, the colourful streets of Portugal, or sun-soaked days exploring Italy and Greece, there's a voyage designed to match your idea of the perfect escape.
And the ship leading the way? Celebrity Beyond, sailing from Southampton for the first time to begin another unforgettable European season.
Celebrity Beyond Takes Centre Stage
There's something wonderfully effortless about beginning your holiday close to home. No luggage restrictions, and no rushing between terminals. Just the excitement of stepping aboard one of the most celebrated ships at sea before sailing straight towards some of Europe's most remarkable destinations.
And throughout Summer 2028, Celebrity Beyond offers an impressive collection of round-trip cruises from Southampton, making luxury cruising more accessible than ever for UK travellers.
Choose from week-long adventures through the dramatic Norwegian Fjords, longer voyages exploring Iceland and Norway, unforgettable journeys beyond the Arctic Circle, or immersive sailings through Scandinavia. As the season draws to a close, Beyond heads south for Mediterranean discoveries before visiting Portugal and the Canary Islands.
It's a programme that feels wonderfully varied. One sailing is filled with snow-capped peaks and mirror-like fjords, the next with colourful Scandinavian capitals, while another swaps cool northern landscapes for Mediterranean sunshine.
Of course, the ship itself is every bit as memorable as the destinations. Celebrity Beyond combines striking contemporary design with beautifully open spaces, world-class dining, stylish accommodation and an atmosphere that's sophisticated without ever feeling formal. It's luxury that feels relaxed, modern and effortlessly welcoming.
Chasing Waterfalls in the Norwegian Fjords
Some landscapes simply refuse to be captured in a photograph. The Norwegian Fjords are one of those places.
Towering cliffs rise dramatically from impossibly calm waters while waterfalls tumble down mountainsides that disappear into the clouds. Tiny villages sit quietly along the shoreline, surrounded by scenery that seems almost untouched by time.
Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Apex both spend much of the summer exploring this extraordinary region, giving guests the chance to experience one of Europe's most spectacular natural wonders from the best possible viewpoint, the water itself.
Scandinavia at Its Most Beautiful
Beyond the famous landmarks lies a collection of stylish cities where royal palaces, colourful waterfronts and centuries of history meet innovative architecture, outstanding food and a relaxed way of life.
Both Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Apex showcase Scandinavia with longer itineraries designed to spend more time discovering the region. From elegant capitals to fascinating coastal destinations, these voyages blend culture, history and breathtaking scenery in equal measure.
For those wanting to travel even further north, selected sailings venture beyond the Arctic Circle, where dramatic landscapes become even more unforgettable.
Iceland: Nature on an Epic Scale
There are destinations that encourage you to tick off attractions because Iceland encourages you simply to stop and stare.
Volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches, powerful waterfalls, steaming geothermal springs and dramatic coastlines create an island unlike anywhere else in Europe.
Celebrity Beyond pairs Iceland with Norway on specially designed voyages that celebrate nature in its boldest form. Every arrival feels like entering another world, while every evening offers another unforgettable view from the ship.
The Mediterranean Never Goes Out of Style
If northern Europe is defined by dramatic scenery, the Mediterranean is all about effortless charm.
Lazy afternoons in Italian piazzas. Fresh seafood overlooking sparkling harbours. Ancient ruins standing proudly beside bustling cafés. Every port tells a different story.
Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Infinity and the brand-new Celebrity Xcel all spend the season exploring some of Europe's most loved coastlines.
From Barcelona to Rome, Naples to the French Riviera, Palma to Lisbon, every itinerary invites guests to discover destinations rich in culture, history and unforgettable cuisine.
One Fleet. Endless Possibilities.
One of the standout features of Celebrity's Summer 2028 Europe Collection is the variety.
Celebrity Ascent sails elegant Mediterranean voyages from Rome, exploring Greece, Croatia, Turkey and Malta.
Celebrity Apex departs from Amsterdam for voyages through the British Isles, Scandinavia and the Norwegian Fjords before repositioning south later in the season.
Celebrity Eclipse connects Spain, Portugal, Morocco and the western Mediterranean with itineraries linking Barcelona and Rome.
Celebrity Constellation celebrates Italy and Croatia throughout the summer, while Celebrity Infinity showcases the beauty of Greece, the Adriatic, Turkey and Egypt from Athens.
Joining the programme is Celebrity Xcel, bringing its fresh contemporary style to Mediterranean sailings from Barcelona, including Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Italy and the French Riviera.
Together, the fleet creates one of Celebrity Cruises' most comprehensive European seasons yet.
