Priority booking access for Celebrity River Cruises, the new venture from Celebrity Cruises, will open on 3 September, giving registrants a first look at 2027 sailings on Europe’s iconic rivers.

The priority access will open at 11 pm on 3 September, offering guests who place a fully refundable $800 deposit a chance to book itineraries, stateroom details, and booking options before they are released to the general public.

“We are excited to offer guests the chance to experience the first-ever Celebrity River Cruises holiday in 2027 with Priority Booking Access,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises.

“Guests will enjoy the warm hospitality Celebrity is known for, on innovative ships, with land experiences unlike any other, as we set sail on Europe’s iconic Danube and Rhine rivers.”

Celebrity River Cruises aims to redefine luxury on the water by combining the brand’s Edge Series-inspired design with European elegance. The new river cruise experience will include all meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, Wi-Fi, onboard activities and one curated shore excursion daily. Guests will also have the option to extend their trip with pre- or post-cruise stays in Prague and Budapest, with availability beginning in 2026.

Described as a “natural extension” of Celebrity’s offering, the new river cruises will maintain the company’s hallmark focus on exceptional service and immersive travel.

Promising 360-degree views, locally inspired culinary experiences, and deep cultural connections, the river cruises seek to elevate the traditional European river cruise with Celebrity’s distinct blend of innovation and hospitality.
