Celebrity Cruises has shared details of four innovative new spaces aboard its new vessel Celebrity Xcel which will launch this November in the Caribbean, with a new pool valet and private cabanas among the offerings.
The valet service comes as part of a reimagined Celebrity Pool Club, which will also feature a new design that provides guests with more shade. For those looking to elevate their day in the sun, VIP options are available with private cabanas and dedicated service. The space transforms into a lively celebration on the final sea day of each Caribbean itinerary, turning into the “Poolest Day Ever,” an all-day party complete with “exclusive drinks, live music, shows, and friendly pool games.”
For late-night fun, Celebrity Xcel introduces the Attic at The Club, an all-new 24/7 adults-only arcade and lounge. The space offers a nostalgic lineup of retro games like Pac-Man, alongside pool, darts, and more. Guests can also book a private event space for group activities including karaoke, golf simulation games, and more.

Meanwhile, wellness enthusiasts will be drawn to Celebrity’s most expansive spa yet, which debuts the first-ever Hydra Room, the newest of eight experiences in the Thermal Suite. This water-centric feature includes a warm, bubbling pool with massaging jets and heated lounge chairs for muscle relaxation. Guests can also unwind on the new Vitamin D Deck, an exclusive outdoor area offering sweeping views from the front of the ship with complementary non-alcoholic beverages.
In addition, Celebrity Xcel will be home to the first-ever Celebrity Flagship store, a retail-meets-museum concept that offers an interactive exhibit with screens, historical artifacts and vintage collectibles. Visitors can even create mementos that remind them of Celebrity Xcel to take home post-holiday.
These additions join previously announced venues like The Bazaar and the al fresco restaurant Bora.
Celebrity Xcel begins its Caribbean sailings from Fort Lauderdale this November, before heading to Europe in summer 2026.
