Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises is a premium cruise line that offers an elevated vacation experience across its fleet of ships traveling to nearly 300 destinations worldwide. The company was founded in 1988 by the Greece-based Chandris Group, which had been involved in cruise traffic since the 1960s. The Chandris Group established Celebrity Cruises to operate upscale voyages to Bermuda, aiming to provide a luxury cruising experience. In 1997, the Chandris family sold its interests in Celebrity Cruises to Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, leading to the formation of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (later renamed Royal Caribbean Group) as a holding company to keep both brands separate. Despite the change in ownership, Celebrity Cruises has maintained its distinct identity, offering a modern luxury cruise experience with a focus on sophisticated design, world-class cuisine, and innovative ships. Today, Celebrity Cruises operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Group, headquartered in Miami, Florida, and continues to provide premium cruise experiences to travelers worldwide.
