Our First Celebrity Cruise: Boarding the NEW Celebrity Xcel!

It's another summer in the Med — and this time, we're sailing with Celebrity Cruises for the very first time. And what better way to jump in than boarding the newest ship in the fleet: Celebrity Xcel. This is Part 1 of our Celebrity Xcel Mediterranean cruise vlog series. This flagship is unique in so many ways, and that starts right at the top — with our genuinely brilliant Captain Kirk, the man at the helm and the man of the hour. Come aboard as we take you through our first impressions of the ship, our sea days, and some of the standout venues that make Xcel feel like nothing else in the fleet.
