Celebrity sits a step above the big-ship lines without the formality of the luxury ones. The ships are designed by hotel and interior names (Kelly Hoppen, Tom Wright), the food is the best of any line in this price range, and the guests skew adult, although Camp at Sea keeps children busy.
For Australians the draw is the summer season: Celebrity Edge and the renewed Celebrity Solstice base themselves in Sydney from October to April, sailing to New Zealand, the South Pacific, the Great Barrier Reef and on to Singapore, so there are no flights to Europe or Miami to add on.
Two things set Celebrity apart. Every fare includes proper dining across several restaurants. And if you book a suite you are in The Retreat, with Luminae restaurant, a private lounge and sundeck, a personal host, plus drinks, Wi-Fi, room service and laundry all covered.

The ship that changed the line: outward-facing design, the Magic Carpet bar that moves up the side of the ship, Infinite Verandas where the balcony becomes part of the cabin, and 29 places to eat and drink.
The classic Celebrity ship, fresh from a top-to-bottom renewal: a new open-air Sunset Park, Trattoria Rossa and Fine Cut Steakhouse, The Parlor game bar, and every stateroom updated. Still the ship with the real grass Lawn Club on top.

Celebrity Cruises, answered
Where does Celebrity Cruises sail from in Australia?
Sydney. Celebrity bases one or two ships there from October to April each year (Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Solstice for 2026 to 2027), sailing round trip to New Zealand, the South Pacific islands and the Great Barrier Reef, with one-way repositioning cruises to Singapore at the end of the season.
What is The Retreat on Celebrity Cruises?
The Retreat is Celebrity’s suite programme. Every suite guest gets Luminae, a private restaurant with its own menu, The Retreat Lounge, a private sundeck with pool on Edge class ships, a dedicated host, and a fare that already includes a premium drinks package, premium Wi-Fi, 24 hour room service and laundry.
Are drinks included on Celebrity Cruises?
Standard drinks such as water, tea, coffee and juice at breakfast are included. Alcohol, soft drinks and specialty coffee are not, unless you buy a drinks package or sail in The Retreat, where the premium package is included.
Celebrity Edge or Celebrity Solstice, which should I choose?
Edge if you want the newest design, Infinite Veranda cabins and the widest choice of restaurants; it is the more expensive ship. Solstice if you prefer a classic layout with a real lawn on the top deck, and lower fares; it was fully renewed in 2026 so the cabins and restaurants are current.
Is Celebrity Cruises good for children?
Families are welcome and Camp at Sea runs a full programme for ages 3 to 17, but there are no water slides or kids’ pools. Most guests are couples and the ships are quieter than Royal Caribbean or Carnival. AquaClass cabins are adults only.
Are gratuities included on Celebrity Cruises from Australia?
Yes. Fares sold in Australia include gratuities, and the prices on this page include port taxes and government fees. Drinks packages and specialty dining still carry a service charge.
