Celebrity Compass is one of the brand-new ships launching Celebrity Cruises’ move into river cruising, and it’s every bit as sleek and innovative as you’d expect. Designed with open spaces, striking modern lines and a fresh approach to European river travel, she combines Celebrity’s signature style with the intimacy of river sailing. Purpose-built for smooth navigation, even in challenging water levels, Celebrity Compass offers a seamless way to explore Europe’s most iconic waterways while enjoying the comfort and flair that fans of the brand already know and love. She’s also the first of a ten-ship fleet, with sister-ship Celebrity Seeker launching alongside her in 2027. Between them, they’ll operate 33 seven-night itineraries on the Rhine and Danube, complete with multi-port days and overnight stays.
Life on board is as much about connection as discovery. On Celebrity Compass, you’ll find spacious decks designed to enjoy Europe’s passing scenery, complete with an infinity-edge pool and versatile social spaces that shift from lively gatherings to quiet retreats. The unique Magic Edge dining pods also double as extraordinary venues to soak up the riverside views. Ashore, daily included excursions immerse you in the culture and history of the places you visit, whether that’s cycling along the Danube, wine tasting in Austria or exploring cobbled towns you’d never otherwise discover. Itineraries are curated to balance headline cities like Vienna and Budapest with hidden gems, so no two days feel the same.
Dining on Celebrity Compass is a highlight, offering one of the most diverse culinary experiences on Europe’s rivers. With eight restaurants and bars and flexible all-day dining, you can enjoy everything from fresh pastries at breakfast to regionally inspired evening menus that reflect the flavours of each destination. Celebrity favourites such as Café al Bacio, Sunset Bar and the Martini Bar also make their debut on the river, while a top-deck restaurant and bar bring the outdoors into every meal. It’s a dining experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new, with quality and choice at its heart.
Accommodation on Celebrity Compass raises the bar for river cruising. Every stateroom features a king-size bed as standard, with thoughtful design touches that maximise comfort and light. Highlights include the first-ever Skylight Infinite Balcony Suites, with ceiling windows that open to the sky, and the Vista Balcony Suite, complete with panoramic views and spacious living areas. Even standard staterooms come with spa-style bathrooms, premium linens and complimentary minibars, while suite guests enjoy butler service and extra perks. Whichever you choose, your cabin feels less like a place to sleep and more like a personal retreat, designed to bring the river closer to you.
