With a blend of modern life and colourful heritage, you’ll discover incredible natural beauty, culinary wonders and cultural gems at every turn. Celebrity Cruises & Bears on Deck provide an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can feel comfortable, celebrated, and free to be themselves.  
Beyond the LGBTQ+ focus, Celebrity offers a luxurious cruise experience with gourmet dining, world-class entertainment, and stunning destinations. Relax by the pool, explore fascinating ports, or indulge in onboard activities – the choice is yours!
Climb, hike, swim, bike, or chill in some of the world’s most beautiful places. From verdant mountain peaks to dazzling coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, the Caribbean is a never-ending show of nature’s wonders. Azure seas, sugar-white beaches, rainforests, volcanoes – there is nothing subtle about the various landscapes of the Caribbean. Every island has its own personality, from sleepy to bustling, and on a Caribbean cruise you can experience it all.
Celebrity Apex - More space. More luxury. More connected.
Welcome to a place where you can escape and experience all the things you’ve been missing for so long. Only now, those things are even better than you’ve imagined. This is a place where the everyday gives way to the extraordinary. A place with more space to lose yourself in and more luxury to love. Where the possibilities are as endless as the views. Where you can disconnect entirely while you reconnect with each other—and the world. This place is Celebrity Apex!.
The second ship in Celebrity revolutionary Edge® Series, Celebrity Apex takes our innovative outward-facing design further than ever, creating an even closer connection between you, the sea, and every exciting place on the horizon. Soak up the sun, salt breezes, and stunning scenery in newly expanded open-air spaces. Savor fine dining that rivals anything you’d find on land. And discover even more ways to relax and renew.
To ensure Celebrity Apex would live up to its name, Celebrity Cruises not only reunited the dream team of architects and designers who first envisioned our Edge Series, but expanded their roles—and their designs will expand the way travel inspires you. Celebrity also stretched the length of the ship to create even more room for incredible outdoor spaces, like the new two-story Sunset Bar imagined by world-famous designer Nate Berkus and a redesigned Rooftop Garden by the visionary Kelly Hoppen, CBE, that brings you closer than ever to the water’s edge—both in collaboration with celebrated architect Tom Wright of WKK.
Kelly also took The Retreat Sundeck to a luxurious new level in more ways than one. And Celebrity Cruises introduced even more delicious culinary experiences to already unrivaled collection, including a new restaurant by the world-renowned chef, Daniel Boulud. All this is just the beginning of how Celebrity Apex will redefine the art of luxury travel again, like each of our Edge Series ships has done before.
Unwind at The Retreat Sundeck A place so exclusive it has no address, The Retreat is the ultimate luxury vacation experience. Every guest not only enjoys stunning suite accommodations but also private dining, exclusive spaces, and a long lineup of services and amenities. Celebrity Apex enhances this already unrivaled resort-within-a-resort with stunningly reimagined spaces by one of the most sought-after interior designers in the world.
As a guest of The Retreat on Celebrity Apex, you’ll have your choice of stunning suite accommodations, including our two-story Edge Villas with outdoor plunge pools, and our Iconic Suites, the largest in Celebrity fleet, featuring views as amazing as the captain’s. All suites on Celebrity Apex feature fresh color palettes and design details. As always, you’ll enjoy a Personal Retreat Host, so you never have to lift a finger, along with luxurious amenities like eXhale® bedding, king-sized Cashmere mattresses designed exclusively for Celebrity, and plush Frette robes and slippers—just to name a few. And now, when you book The Retreat, every guest in your suite receives premium drinks, streaming Wi-Fi, tips, a shore excursion credit, and an onboard credit to use however you choose.
Here the Restaurants are Destinations in Themselves

Day 1 - Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida
When you sail to the Caribbean from Cape Canaveral, it’s worth arriving a day or two earlier to experience everything there is to see and do. Check out the charming lifestyle of nearby Cocoa Beach. Work on your tan before your cruise at one of the oceanfront resorts. Enjoy local seafood at the numerous rustic restaurants located on the water. Climb the four-story Exploration Tower at the Port for one of the best views of the ocean. Plus, no stay in Cape Canaveral is complete without visiting the area’s main attraction, the Kennedy Space Center, where you can meet an astronaut or even watch a rocket launch. Or since you’re less than an hour away from Orlando, you can visit the nearby theme parks to add even more wonder to your unforgettable Caribbean vacation.
Day 2 - Key West, Florida
Ernest Hemingway made wild, colorful Key West his home, and you will want to do the same. Home to modern-day adventurers, artists and poets, the island's charming Old Town teems with restaurants, bars and unique shops. Add pristine coral reefs, coconut palms and a laid-back attitude that's truly contagious, and it's easy to see why so many visitors to Key West never leave. Key West is one of the most popular gay vacation spots in the USA. You'll find a big scene centred around several bars on Duval Street. The beaches are excellent, as is the food.
Day 3 - Bimini, Bahamas
Discover the hidden gem of the Bahamas. Bimini is only 50 miles from South Florida, yet a world away from the everyday. Preserved culture, historical landmarks, and natural wonders adorn this westernmost island of the Bahamas, beckoning travelers from around the world to explore. A small Bahamian island with a mysterious past once recognized as the location of the Lost City of Atlantis and legendary Fountain of Youth. Today, a hidden gem known for miles of pristine beaches, plenty of water activities, and year-round sport fishing. Dip, dive, and twirl with a pod of wild dolphins on a one-of-a-kind swim in the warm waters of Bimini they call home.
Day 4 - Fun Day at Sea!
While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until we arrive at the next amazing destination.
Day 5 - George Town, Grand Cayman
No destination blends global finance with the Caribbean lifestyle quite like the Cayman Islands. This upscale destination offers world-class restaurants, designer boutiques, and duty-free shopping, plus white sand beaches, brilliant blue waters, and teeming coral reefs. Enjoy postcard views of George Town, Seven Mile Beach, and West Bay from the custom-designed Cayman Explorer. You can step down easily into shallow waters to interact with the welcoming stingrays. Launch your snorkeling adventure from a luxurious catamaran. Swim right through the World War II naval vessel USS Kittiwake, now a shallow artificial reef. Finish with leisurely sunbathing and cool cocktails. Swim with the denizens of Stingray City in the crystalline waters of Coral Reef Gardens. After snorkeling with the graceful rays, recharge with an island barbecue on Seven Mile Beach. You'll shop till you drop in the duty-free boutiques of George Town. Find gifts for everyone—including yourself—like china, crystal, jewelry, antiques, and resort wear by renowned designers.
Day 6 - Cozumel, Mexico
Amid the largest coral reef in the West, this Caribbean island lures anglers, divers, snorkelers, and beachgoers. Fish the flats or head out to blue water to hunt for big game—mahi-mahi, marlin, sailfish, and more. Bring your dive card with you on your cruise to Cozumel and witness all the natural wonders waiting below the surface, like neon tropical fish, swaying sea fans, and vibrant coral colonies. Or, go snorkeling to see the show without a dive card. Curl up on the beach in a hammock with a cold one. At Playa Mia, you can even fly down Twin Twister waterslides.
Go cruise shopping for beautiful Mexican silver, amber, and other artisanal gifts in San Miguel. Or, hop a ferry to charming Playa del Carmen, on the mainland, and stroll along la Quinta Avenida for more inviting restaurants, bars, and shops. Down the coast from Playa, you can explore the ancient Maya city of Tulum, perched impressively on a cliff, overlooking the brilliant sea and powdery beach below.
Day 7 - Day at Sea!
Revolutionary experiences await you onboard. From the Magic Carpet that reaches heights of 13 stories above sea level to the 20 ft LED wall in The Theatre, Celebrity Apex breaks from traditional ship design. Explore 29 distinct restaurants, bars, and lounges that will awaken all your senses, and savor new globally inspired menus crafted by our Michelin-starred chefs.
Day 8 - Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida
Orlando is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the USA. The city’s downtown is a bustling hub of culture, tourism, and business, with areas that spill onto the beachfront promenade giving way to stretching white beaches. The city has a defined identity as a global hub of entertainment, resort tourism, and gay culture. Orlando is the number one travel destination in the USA and is becoming increasingly popular amongst gay travelers. The gay scene in Orlando is lively, vibrant, and energetic. Shaped by the large South American community in Orlando, many of the city’s gay clubs and bars are heavily influenced by Latin culture, music, and style.
