Miami (December 14, 2023) – Celebrity Cruises is ready for its biggest Caribbean season yet, with more options for travelers to enjoy the tranquil blue waters and sunshine of the idyllic island region. Nine of Celebrity’s award-winning resorts at sea, the most ever in the Caribbean for the brand, will sail the region on itineraries ranging from new three-night short getaways to 12-night dream vacations giving travelers more options than ever before for escaping the winter blues. In addition, select sailings will call on the highly rated Perfect Day at Coco Cay, providing access to this exclusive private island experience; and, in December, 2024, a Celebrity ship will sail from Port Canaveral for the first time ever.
“As cooler weather sets in across the country, this is the time of year we start to think about trading the inevitable winter blues for gorgeous Caribbean blues. Our 2024 Caribbean season is designed with a wide range of ships and itineraries for travelers to choose from,” said Katina Athanasiou, Senior Vice President Of Sales & Service, The Americas, at Celebrity Cruises. “It’s our mission to make our guests feel like a VIP, and leave feeling refreshed and energized.”
Celebrity Ascent Makes Her Caribbean Debut
Celebrity Ascent, the fourth and newest ship in the brand’s award-winning Edge Series, made her highly anticipated maiden voyage on December 3, 2023. Now, departing from Ft. Lauderdale, she will explore the exquisite waters of the Eastern Caribbean for the first time. While guests soak up her fantastic new features, she’ll transport them to some of the most sought-after destinations in the region including Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
Celebrity Ascent will make round-trip sailings from Celebrity’s state-of-the-art Terminal 25 at Port Everglades every Sunday, journeying through the islands on seven-night Western and Eastern Caribbean itineraries.

Edge Series Sisters Lead the Way
Celebrity Ascent will be joined by her island-hopping Edge Series sisters, Celebrity Apex and Celebrity Beyond. Celebrity Apex is embarking on rotating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. Departing from Ft. Lauderdale, guests will visit the sun-filled 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 where they can surrender to the rhythms of paradise in Key West, Florida; Grand Cayman, and Belize.
