The programme represents Celebrity's biggest-ever European deployment, with four Edge series ships – Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Xcel, Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Apex – poised to sail in the region during the programme.
Celebrity Beyond will return to Europe for the first time since 2023, sailing a range of seven- to 14-night itineraries from Southampton to Norway, Iceland and Scandinavia.
By the time of its European deployment, the ship will also have undergone its planned 2026 refit, adding new spaces including Mediterranean rooftop restaurant Bora and the new Celebrity Pool Club, which will feature more shade, personalised service, and amenities such as the Pool Valet and cabanas.
Among Beyond's European highlights will be 14-night sailings combining Iceland and Norway, taking in destinations including Reykjavik, Isafjordur, Akureyri and Seydisfjordur before heading to Norway's fjords.
