If the Caribbean is at the top of your wish list, Celebrity Cruises is giving you even more ways to get there. Bookings have opened for Celebrity Xcite, which will homeport at PortMiami and offer seven-night cruises with rotating itineraries in 2028 and 2029.
Xcite’s sailings will call on a mix of Eastern Caribbean favorites, including St. Thomas, Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, St. Kitts, St. Maarten and the Dominican Republic. The ship will be part of a larger Celebrity deployment that spans four Florida ports, giving travelers more choice in departure points and trip lengths across the region.
The wider program adds a few firsts worth noting. Celebrity Beyond will run the first short Edge-class sailings — three-night weekend escapes from Port Everglades to The Bahamas, with nine departures planned from November 2028 through March 2029. Celebrity Silhouette will also offer a first full summer of Southern Caribbean cruising, with eight- to 12-night voyages to places such as Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique and Grenada.
