CELEBRITY Cruises has unveiled its most expansive entertainment offering yet, available on board its upcoming ship, Celebrity Xcel (CW 18 Sep).
Setting sail in Nov, the fifth Edge-class vessel will feature the most resident performers delivering the greatest variety ever offered by the line.
Guests will be able to enjoy three brand-new theatre productions, two immersive club shows, music experiences, dance parties, and interactive activities.
The three new theatrical productions combine world-class singers, dancers, parkour artists, and specialty aerial performers with cutting-edge technology, kinetic lighting, laser video etching, projection mapping, pyrotechnics, and a 33-metre curved kinetic LED screen.
The line-up includes ‘Mainstage’, a high-energy live music concert featuring hits from top artists across the decades; ‘Between Takes’, which transports guests to a 1920s Hollywood backlot; and ‘Chapters’, a journey through nature and transformation.
In The Club, guests can step back in time to the 80s at the 254 West interactive show, or put their detective skills to the test with ‘Hotel’, a comedic “whodunnit” performance.
Other entertainment highlights aboard Xcel include singalongs at the piano bar, a country music party, a candelit concert experience, and the glitzy ‘Shine the Night’ party.
There are also plenty of games inviting friendly competition, including an escape-room style challenge and a destination-themed mystery game.
“Xcel will further elevate Celebrity’s award-winning offering to create a world-class entertainment destination our guests are going to love,” Vice President of Entertainment Lisa Lehr said.
“With over 75 resident performers, guests will find unforgettable experiences and unexpected surprises at every turn,” she added.
Xcel will sail her inaugural season from Fort Lauderdale, offering seven-night itineraries alternating between The Bahamas, Mexico, Cayman Islands, and Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. JM
