Celebrity Cruises has released its 2027 2028 itineraries for the Caribbean, Asia, and South America, a deployment that spans 131 destinations in 42 countries across three continents. The season adds first ever dedicated Grand Turk itineraries, four Panama Canal sailings on Celebrity Ascent, and 14 night South America and Antarctica voyages on Celebrity Equinox. Caribbean cruises go on sale November 11, 2025, while winter 2027 and 2028 Asia and South America programs open for booking on December 10, 2025, giving travelers and advisors a clear runway to plan multi year cruise calendars.

Celebrity Cruises 2027 2028 Itineraries At A Glance

The backbone of the new deployment is scale. Celebrity will send eight ships from four Florida homeports, with Caribbean itineraries ranging from three night weekend getaways to 14 night journeys, and new emphasis on Grand Turk and the Panama Canal. In Asia, Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Millennium will cover 49 destinations across seven countries including Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, with 123 port days scheduled for more than 10 hours ashore and 52 full overnights that allow guests to experience cities after dark rather than rushing back to the pier.

Farther south, Celebrity Equinox will operate a focused November 2027 to February 2028 program of 14 night itineraries that reach 17 destinations in seven countries, combining classic South America ports with Patagonia, Cape Horn, and Antarctic scenic cruising. The strategy is clearly to lean into longer, more immersive calls and to give repeat guests new regions to tick off without leaving the Celebrity ecosystem.

Caribbean Season, More Florida Homeports

For North American travelers, the Caribbean program will be the most visible change. Eight Celebrity ships will sail from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, and Tampa, covering 65 Caribbean destinations with itineraries from three to 14 nights.

Celebrity Xcel returns to the region for a third season, sailing seven night Eastern and Western Caribbean routes that include Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach, St. Thomas's Magens Bay, St. Kitts's Cockleshell Bay, and the line's first dedicated program of Grand Turk itineraries. Onboard, its Bazaar concept continues to pull local food and entertainment themes into the ship itself, which matters if you want more regional flavor without packing your daily schedule with excursions.

Celebrity Ascent will handle many of the 10 to 14 night Southern Caribbean sailings, including four transits of the historic Panama Canal and calls in Antigua, St. Lucia, and Barbados. Around that core, Celebrity Reflection will keep running three and four night short breaks from Fort Lauderdale, and Celebrity Apex and Celebrity Constellation will extend options from Port Canaveral and Tampa, respectively, giving more drive market access to Bahamas and Western Caribbean ports.

For travelers, this means you can match itinerary length to vacation constraints without giving up on specific ships. Weekend travelers can grab Reflection for quick hits to Perfect Day at CocoCay or Nassau, while those with two weeks to spare can pick up longer Southern Caribbean or Canal sailings without needing a connecting flight to another port.

Asia Immersion With Longer Port Days And Overnights

The Asia program is where the deployment changes feel most dramatic. Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Millennium will operate Southern Asia itineraries that touch 49 destinations across seven countries, from Indonesia and Singapore to Vietnam and Malaysia. The headline numbers are 123 port calls scheduled for more than 10 hours, plus 52 overnight stays, which moves the experience away from quick photo stop visits toward genuine city time.

On Solstice in particular, Celebrity is leaning into marquee overnights, including Bangkok, Benoa in Bali, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Phuket. One standout is a New Year's Eve overnight in Hong Kong that lets guests ring in 2028 in Victoria Harbour rather than at sea.

Practically, this opens up a different style of cruise planning. With evenings in port, you can book local food tours, night markets, rooftop cocktails, or cultural performances instead of sprinting back for an early all aboard. It also makes the case for pairing these itineraries with stopovers in Asia before or after the cruise, since long haul flights will be the main friction point for North American travelers.

South America And Antarctica, Longer Adventures

On the expedition side of the deployment, Celebrity Equinox will run 14 night South America and Antarctica itineraries from November 2027 through February 2028. The routes string together Patagonia, the Chilean Fjords, Iguazu Falls, Cape Horn, and Tierra del Fuego National Park, plus classic ports like Buenos Aires and Montevideo.

These sailings are still mainstream rather than small ship expedition products, but they push deeper into scenic cruising, wildlife viewing, and national park access than the typical South America loop. Expect a mix of tender ports, weather dependent scenic days, and longer sea stretches through the Drake Passage and around Antarctica's peninsular waters, which will appeal most to travelers comfortable with cool weather and a bit of motion in exchange for big scenery.

Because this program overlaps with Southern Hemisphere summer, demand will cluster on a short calendar. That makes early booking important for anyone targeting specific dates, stateroom categories, or back to back combinations that extend a single trip into a longer South America stay.

How To Choose The Right Itinerary

With more hardware and more regions in play, choosing a 2027 2028 Celebrity itinerary comes down to four variables: homeport, flight time, appetite for sea days, and how much you care about evenings in port.

If you want to avoid long flights and keep costs predictable, the expanded Florida footprint favors drive market and short haul flyers, especially for three to seven night itineraries on Celebrity Reflection, Apex, and Constellation. Travelers who want a single major trip that anchors a year of vacations should look at Asia sailings with overnights or the 14 night South America and Antarctica runs, then stack smaller Caribbean or Bahamas cruises around them.

Bookings for Caribbean itineraries open November 11, 2025, and winter 2027 and 2028 Asia and South America sailings go on sale on December 10, 2025. That timing gives you room to price air, check school and work calendars, and talk through options with a trusted travel advisor before the most popular cabins disappear. Factor in visa requirements, seasonal weather in each region, and your tolerance for heat, humidity, or cool Antarctic wind, then build a plan around one or two anchor cruises instead of grabbing dates at random.

Final thoughts

Taken together, the 2027 2028 Celebrity Cruises itineraries push the brand toward longer port days, more overnights, and more diverse homeports rather than simply adding ships on familiar routes. Caribbean fans gain extra flexibility out of Florida, Asian itineraries tilt strongly toward immersion, and South America and Antarctica get a more substantial footprint during peak season. If you already know you want to sail with Celebrity in late 2027 or into 2028, treating these new deployments as a multi year map rather than a one off trip will help you lock in cabins, spread out costs, and make better use of loyalty earnings across several very different parts of the world.
