Celebrity Cruises Reveals Details for 2023-24 Caribbean Season

04 March, 2022

Celebrity Cruises has added its newest ship, Celebrity Ascent, to its 2023-24 Caribbean season. With eight ships navigating the island region, including three from the EdgeSeries, and itineraries ranging from four to 12 nights, guests will have more options to choose from when planning their vacation.

Celebrity Ascent, the fourth ship in the Edge Series, which made its way from concept to construction on November 22, 2021, will sail on its maiden voyage on December 3, 2023. After departing from Ft. Lauderdale, the ship will explore the waters of the Eastern Caribbean. Guests can sail to several destinations in the region, including Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.

Following the inaugural voyage, Celebrity Ascent will make round-trip sailings from the cruise line’s Terminal 25 at Port Everglades every Sunday, journeying through the islands on seven-night Western and Eastern Caribbean itineraries. Eastern Caribbean sailings will visit several locales, including San Juan, Puerto Rico; Tortola in the British Virgin Islands; and Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis. Western Caribbean voyages will take guests to the ports of Nassau, Bahamas; Cozumel, Mexico; and George Town in the Cayman Islands.

Celebrity Ascent will be joined by its island-hopping Edge Series sister ships, Celebrity Apex and Celebrity Beyond. Beginning November 2023, Celebrity Apex will embark on rotating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. Departing from Ft. Lauderdale, guests will visit the islands of the Eastern Caribbean, including San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Puerto Plata. For a different kind of escape, Celebrity Apex will take guests to the Western Caribbean, visiting Key West, Florida; Grand Cayman; and Belize.

For those wanting to explore more, Celebrity Beyond is hosting nine-, 10- and 11-night voyages to the Southern Caribbean, including overnight stops in Oranjestad, Aruba, where guests can stroll among the brightly hued Dutch colonial buildings, beaches and volcanic formations. A shorter sailing on Beyond will take guests on a six-night cruise to Bimini, Bahamas, the retreat of choice for author Ernest Hemingway, known for its big game fishing, beaches and nightlife.

Celebrity Silhouette, recently modernized as part of the "Celebrity Revolution," is returning to the Bahamas and the Southern Caribbean with itineraries ranging from four to 11 nights. And, for the first time since 2011, the ship will visit Scarborough, the main city on the island of Tobago.

For revelers looking to celebrate Mardi Gras in style, Celebrity Constellation is offering a 12-night cruise departing from Tampa that starts with a double overnight stay in New Orleans for Fat Tuesday, before taking guests to a relaxing recovery journey in Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel.

Guests looking for a short getaway will find it aboard Celebrity Summit, as the ship sails from Miami on alternating four- and five-night Western Caribbean itineraries.

Celebrity Reflection and Celebrity Equinox round out the offerings with eight-night Eastern Caribbean and six-night Western Caribbean sailings, which includes stops at the Dutch island Kralendijk, Bonaire, where the island’s official bird, the flamingo, can be spotted on many of its white sand beaches.
