Celebrity Apex Itineraries

Celebrity apex review, review of celebrity apex.

The 2020-built/2021-inaugurated Celebrity Apex cruise ship (initially named "Celebrity Beyond") is the second of all five EDGE-class passenger liners - with sisterships Celebrity Edge (2018), Celebrity Beyond (2022), Celebrity Ascent (2023) and Celebrity Xcel (2025).

The vessel (IMO number 9838383) is currently Malta- flagged (MMSI 215105000) and registered in Valletta .

History - construction and ownership

Celebrity Cruises was founded in 1988 as the Greece-based Chandris Line (cruise shipping operations between 1974-1996). In 1997, Royal Caribbean International (RCI) merged with "Celebrity Cruises Ltd" to become "Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd" (RCCL). The "X" on ship funnels is the Greek letter chi (standing for "Chandris").

Common features of Celebrity Cruises ships include aft-located glass-walled dining rooms, signature alternate dining venues, bars and lounges, spacious Atrium lobby areas, a large number of balcony staterooms, large sundecks with swimming pools, The Retreat (adults-only sundeck with full-size swimming pool, Jacuzzi, cabanas, poolside full bar service), Rooftop Terrace (top-deck outdoor lounge-restaurant-cinema), large Spa (with Thermal Suites), premium retail shops selling top-brand merchandise.

The 2900-passenger ship Celebrity Apex is the second of four newbuilds scheduled to debut for Celebrity Cruises under "Project Edge" (ship class). The new ships are bigger than Millennium-class but smaller than Solstice-class. The company advertised "small-ship itineraries with large-ship amenities", destination-rich experiences and iconic maritime architecture.

Decks and Cabins

Most Celebrity Apex staterooms are Balcony rooms. There are also a number of wheelchair-accessible rooms. Of all the 1467 staterooms, 918 are Edge Staterooms (with Infinite Verandas) and 176 are suites. All staterooms are fitted with keyless cabin entry technology that uses digital keys (on smartphones), as well as standard keycards and RFID bands.

The boat has 15 decks , of which 14 passenger-accessible and 10 with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Celebrity Apex ship has 4 MDRs / main dining rooms (named Cosmopolitan, Cyprus, Normandie, Tuscan) and 6 new-to-Celebrity Cruises specialty restaurants. In total, the cruise ship has 15 restaurants and cafes, 12 bars and lounges.

Passengers in AquaClass staterooms or Suites eat at Blu Restaurant, offering lighter "spa-inspired" cuisine. The Luminae Restaurant is named "Luminae at The Retreat" and (along with Blu) is part of the private, Suite Class passengers exclusive complex "The Retreat". Suite passengers have also the option to eat in the Main Dining Rooms (Normandie Restaurant, Tuscan Restaurant, Cosmopolitan Restaurant, Cyprus Restaurant). These 4 complimentary restaurants serve menus inspired by the itinerary/destinations visited. Each restaurant offers regional wines and themed cocktails, dishes made from locally-sourced ingredients, also a rotating menu of Signature dishes for dinner (changing every evening) and a Classic dinner menu. The ship's main restaurants are served by dedicated to each table wait staff (sommelier, assistant waiter, head waiter). Passengers are assigned to one of the 4 MDRs but still have the option (upon request) to dine in the other 3.

Celebrity Apex offers "Celebrity Select Dining" (your-time dining for dinners) option, which is renamed to "Celebrity Select Dining Plus". Passengers can make reservations in any of the 4 MDRs if they know they want to eat at a specific restaurant and dinner time, or they can simply show up and enjoy dinner on their own time.

In addition to the 4 MDR restaurants, there are plenty of complimentary dining venues, such as Oceanview Cafe (live cooking stations, bakery), Mast Grill (poolside), Spa Cafe & Juice Bar (healthy food and beverages), Eden Cafe (wide variety of breakfast and lunch items).

The sports facilities are complimentary, including the pickleball equipment (net, paddles, balls) but operated with separate scheduled playing times for adults and families (with kids older than 6). While on older vessels the pickleball courts are either on the Sports Deck or at the Multi-Sports Court, on the EGDE ships pickleball is played at the Rooftop Garden.

Grand Plaza

The Grand Plaza serves as ship's epicenter (midship location) and spanning 3 decks. The venue mixes modernity and simplicity and was inspired by the charming era of Transatlantic ocean liners. The concept was designed by Jouin Manku Studio.

The unique space has a striking lighting feature - The Chandelier, an art installation rising over Martini Bar to the ceiling 3 decks above. It is composed of 5 levels and a total of 765 blades illuminated via dynamic LED strips changing their colors from day to night, The Chandelier weighs 7 tons.

The Grand Plaza houses many specialty restaurants, including Fine Cut Steakhouse and Raw on 5 (Deck 5), Le Grand Bistro and Cafe al Bacio (Deck 4), Grand Plaza Cafe (Deck 3), Italian piazzas. At its center (Deck 3) is Martini Bar. Adorning the edges of Grand Plaza are hand-stitched mesh screens that combine over 13,500 art pieces made of leather, fabric, and metal.

Grand Plaza's cafes are the perfect choice for "coffee breaks" - from morning cappuccino to afternoon tea and pre-dinner cocktails - while enjoying live entertainment. In the evenings, Grand Plaza transforms into the ship's social hub with live music performances.

During the day, "Le Grand Bistro" (in the Atrium on Deck 4) operates as patisserie and cafeteria serving French cuisine. In the evenings, Le Grand Bistro transforms into "Le Petite Chef" - new dining-entertainment concept via an exclusive partnership with TableMation Studios (US multimedia company) and Skullmapping (a 2010-founded collective of filmmakers and visual artists). The dinner experience includes visual mapping technology with animated 3D characters projected (from above) onto tables and on plates. The VIP dining is at a fixed surcharge. It costs USD 25 pp (Le Grand Bistro) and USD 55 pp (Le Petite Chef).

The Celebrity ship Apex introduces new dining menus developed by Cornelius Gallagher (3-star Michelin chef). Also new is the fleet's first Craft Social Bar - selling premium wines (by the glass), a large selection of craft cocktails and 50+ craft beers (including several rare brands). Craft Social Bar is served by certified beer sommeliers.

Eden Lounge

Eden is a 3-deck high (aft-location on decks 4, 5, 6) lounge-bar-restaurant venue with live music and shows programming changing throughout the day. Eden Lounge measures 10439 m3 (368640 ft3) and covers a total area of 1175 m2 (12650 ft2).

The lounge has an outward-facing design and combines a signature gastronomic experience (light lunch, 5-course dinner, wine tastings) with live performances, daily lectures, promo events. The lounge has alfresco dining areas on both its sides. In the evening, the lounge transforms into "Eve at Eden", with more provocative entertainment (fusion of performance art, dining, and nightlife.

The lounge's 90-m / 295 ft long ramp envelops the entire space and provides panoramic views. The lounge's unconventional furniture and interiors are designed by Patricia Urquiola (Spain). She also designed the lounge's "Library of Plants" (living garden) and the hanging plant pillars. Lounge's designer is Scott Butler (Wilson Butler Architects, Boston MA). The evening show programming is by Variety Worldwide (NYC New York).

"The Meeting Place" is named the ship's Conference Center (sized 183 m2 / 1970 ft2). This large meeting room is designed by Wilson Butler Architects (Boston MA) and provides advanced audio-visual equipment, varied seating arrangements, private office (event planning space), as well as mobile bars (for food and beverages) and a fully equipped pantry.

Magic Carpet ("outdoor elevator lounge")

A unique feature of the Celebrity Apex ship is its Magic Carpet - a glass structure (glass-roofed, cantilevered platform) the size of a tennis court, able to traverse 14 stories, like a large elevator.

Mounted on the ship's starboard side, the open-air Magic Carpet offers stunning ocean views, comfortable seating, full bar, a stage for live music performances, This "traveling venue" changes its theme, function, and location by extending from Deck 2 up to Deck 16.

Passengers can't simply ride on the Magic Carpet (using it as an elevator). In each location, the "moving lounge" is safely locked, then guests are allowed to step onboard. While repositioning, the venue is without any passengers. Some of its furniture is fixed.

The structure repositions and transforms into a new venue depending on which deck is locked.

• When positioned on Deck 16 (above pool deck), it becomes a specialty restaurant offering the unique “Dinner on the Edge" al-fresco dining under the stars.
• When positioned on Resort Deck 14 (in front of the cabanas), it becomes an extension of the pool deck area, also offering live music performances.
• When positioned on Dining Deck 5, it becomes a specialty restaurant - alfresco dining appendix to the ship's main dining room restaurant.
• When positioned on Tendering Deck 2, it becomes an extension of the Destination Gateway (embarkation station serving ship's tender operations). Destination Gateway boarding area is dedicated to the so-called "Edge Launches" - luxurious passenger tendering ashore, providing seamless embarkation and disembarkation in all ports of call along the cruise itinerary. This spacious area is fitted with large LCD screens (displaying destination, itinerary and port highlights), comfortable seating (capacity 130 seats), air-conditioning.

"Destination Getaway" is a dedicated embarkation point when the platform is positioned at its lowest level (Tendering Deck 2).

Magic Carpet's repositioning schedule is published daily.

Itineraries

Currently, Celebrity Apex cruise itinerary program is based on Mediterranean roundtrips from homeport Barcelona Spain (during summer) and Caribbean roundtrips from Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA) , with Transatlantic repositioning crossings between Europe and the USA. From the USA, Celebrity Apex cruises to ports in the Western Caribbean (Mexico, Key West FL, Grand Cayman) and Eastern Caribbean (Puerto Rico, St Thomas USVI, St Kitts).

Initially (before the 2020 cancellations), the new ship was planned for homeporting in Southampton (England UK) . The liner had a short pre-naming voyage (April 2020) for travel agents only. From Southampton was scheduled a mini-season with 5x departures/roundtrips to ports in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean (7- and 10-days long voyages). Then the ship was to be repositioned to Mediterranean (homeports Barcelona and Civitavecchia-Rome) during the European maiden season. Med itineraries were 7-10-12-days long.

To Celebrity's 2020 European program were added 4x longer Apex itineraries to ports in the Western and Eastern Mediterranean.

• Two 11-night "Greece, Malta and Turkey" voyages from homeport Civitavecchia-Rome visit Istanbul, Kusadasi, Santorini Island, Mykonos Island, Piraeus-Athens, Valletta Malta, and Barcelona.

• The 11-night "Spain, France and Italian Riviera" roundtrip from Barcelona visits Marseille, Monte Carlo, Nice, Santa Margherita, Rome, Naples, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia.

After the inauguration in Southampton , Apex was planned to start a mini-season of 5x European itineraries (Norwegian Fjords and Iberia). The 10-night "Baltic Capitals" visited Amsterdam , Oslo , Copenhagen , Le Havre-Paris . Followed a summer Mediterranean season with 7- to 12-night itineraries.

Bookings on Celebrity Apex 2020 program were opened on November 29, 2018. For travel agencies, wave-booking promo deals offered half-price fares (for the second passenger), up to GBP 700 pp savings and free-drink packages.

Due to the Coronavirus crisis, Celebrity rescheduled Apex ship's inaugural cruise (2020) several times - April 1st, May 20, June 13, September 16, October 10, November 5, and December 5th. All these itineraries were eventually canceled. The Maiden Voyage was then rescheduled for January 2, 2021 (7-day Western Caribbean/"Mexico, Key West and Grand Cayman Cruise" out of Fort Lauderdale). For detailed info on the cancellations see in the ship's Wiki section .

In late March 2021, Celebrity changed the Apex's schedule once again - for an inaugural season in Europe (Eastern Mediterranean/Aegean Sea). The revised summer 2021 program (June 19 through September 25) was based on two 7-day roundtrip itineraries from homeport Piraeus-Athens Greece .

• The "Greek Islands and Cyprus" itinerary visited Rhodes , Santorini , Cyprus (Limassol) .
• The "Greek Islands and Israel" itinerary visited Santorini, Rhodes and Haifa Israel (port to Jerusalem-Tel Aviv) .

Celebrity Apex Wiki

EDGE-Class Celebrity ships were designed via an exclusive partnership with Nate Berkus - US interior designer establishing his own company at the age of 24. On July 23, 2018, started the vessel's construction with the steel-cutting ceremony at Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard ( St Nazaire, STX France ). The ceremony was attended by Lisa Lutoff-Perlo (Celebrity Cruises President and CEO), accompanied by her management team, and Laurent Castaing (shipyard's General Manager).

In September 2018 was announced that the ship will be christened in Southampton England . On October 31, 2018, was held the keel-laying ceremony, attended by Richard Fain (RCCL's CEO and Chairman), Lisa Lutoff-Perlo and Laurent Castaing. On the same day was Celebrity Edge 's official delivery. During the keel-laying, a 762-ton hull block was lifted, a lucky coin was placed underneath, then the block was lowered again.

The vessel was launched/floated out from drydock on May 17, 2019. The Godmother was announced in mid-January 2020. The 1975-born Reshma Saujani is a US lawyer (also worked for the Carlyle Group's subsidiary Blue Wave Partners Management), politician, author ("Brave, Not Perfect"), Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code (2012-founded nonprofit organization supporting women with computing skills).

The ship's naming ceremony was initially scheduled for March 30, 2020, to be held in Port Southampton. However, on March 6th was announced that the naming ceremony is postponed for 2020-Q4 (after Celebrity Apex' repositioning to the Caribbean). Eventually, the naming was held in the USA (onboard at homeport Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale Florida ) on November 3, 2021. The special event was attended by Richard Fain (shipowner's/RCG-Royal Caribbean Group's Chairman and CEO), Lisa Lutoff-Perlo (Celebrty's President and CEO), as well as VIP guests from Florida's cities Hollywood and Dania Beach, media, representatives from CBP (US Customs and Border Protection agency), USCG-Coast Guard, Broward County's Sheriff's Office and Fire Rescue personnel.

In early January 2020, Celebrity Cruises signed a partnership with Gwyneth Paltrow to present her "goop" brand at sea. The experience was available on the Apex ship and only on the 11-day "Spain, France and Italian Riviera Cruise" (Aug 29 - Sept 6, wellness-themed) roundtrip from Barcelona. During the voyage were planned meetings with Gwyneth Paltrow (goop brand owner) and Elise Loehnen (goop brand's chief content officer).

In the period February 4-8 was successfully completed the first set of sea trials (near the French shipyard) with ~50 crew on the ship (mainly engineers and marine technical experts).

Due to the global COVID crisis, in March 2020, Celebrity decided to take a "Virtual Delivery" of the vessel via video conference with the shipyard's officials. The online event was held on March 27th and attended by Dimitris Kafetzis (cruise ship's Captain), Lisa Lutoff Perlo (Celebrity Cruises' CEO) and Laurent Castaing (shipbuilder's General Manager). Celebrity Apex Inaugural Cruise was re-scheduled for May 20th (initially planned for April 1st).

Discover Old European Charm on a Baltic Sea Cruise

If you’ve ever wanted to step inside a Medieval fairytale, a Baltic Sea cruise most certainly delivers. Experience the Middle Ages as you explore Tallinn’s UNESCO-protected Old Town. Marvel at Denmark’s magical castles, and amble along the cobblestone streets and radiant, historic buildings of Gamla Stan in Stockholm. Explore religious sites and the all-encompassing history of Berlin. Spend the afternoon in one of Helsinki’s fascinating museums, then take a dip in the deep blue Baltic Sea.

Embark on an unforgettable cruise vacation aboard Celebrity Apex or Celebrity Silhouette, where you’ll find stylish accommodations, luxurious amenities, and globally inspired cuisine. Discover the beguiling countries that surround the Baltic Sea with Celebrity Cruises, voted “Best Cruise Line in Europe” for nine consecutive years at Travel Weekly’s 16th Annual Readers’ Choice Awards.

Baltic Sea Cruise Highlights

Castles & palaces.

The countries along the Baltic Sea are brimming with historic castles and palaces. Go on a whirlwind tour of the famous castles of North Zealand outside of Copenhagen to see the royals’ part-time residence and the setting for Hamlet . Admire the stately Stockholm Palace where the King of Sweden resides. Explore the majestic Catherine Palace, the former summer retreat of Russian tsars. Revel in the romance and splendor of these opulent landmarks.

Outdoor Escapes

Kayak the Finnish archipelago surrounding Helsinki, or explore the scenic countryside of Porvoo. In Stockholm, venture beyond the city to the Långholmen Kajak, a Venice-like system of canals where you can enjoy a Swedish gondola ride. Venture to the Malusi islands off the coast of Estonia to spot seals in their natural habitat.

Urban Exploration

The extraordinary cities you’ll visit on a Baltic Sea cruise are brimming with culture, history, and excitement at every turn. Admire the quintessential rust-colored roofs of Tallinn. Stroll alongside the vibrant facades of Gamla Stan’s storied structures in Stockholm. Do as the locals do and bike through Copenhagen’s streets, admiring the sleek Scandinavian design juxtaposed with hundreds of years of history at every turn. 

Featured Ports

Copenhagen, denmark.

A stop in Copenhagen makes for a fabulous day in port while on a cruise to Scandinavia and to Northern Europe’s capitals. Spend the day admiring the city’s opulent castles and stroll along the colorful waterfront district of Nyhavn. Don’t forget to try a Danish brew and sample local eats at a food hall while you’re here.

Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in northern Europe. The city’s Old Town is filled with medieval houses and cobblestone alleyways still protected by the remnants of the city wall. Aside from Tallin’s charming city, you can venture to the countryside to sip vodka amongst the ruins of Rakvere Castle, or sample cheese at a local dairy farm.

Stockholm, Sweden

Discover Stockholm, the trend-setting capital of Sweden known as “Beauty on the Water”. Get a glimpse of a time before industrialization at Skansen, an open-air museum and zoo that showcases Sweden’s traditional way of life and exotic wildlife. Spend an afternoon at the Nationalmuseum or the Vasa Museum for a crash course in Viking history and Swedish art. No trip to the city is complete without spending a few hours in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town.

Baltic Sea Cruise Itineraries

On a cruise to the Baltic Sea, you’ll sail on award-winning ships like Celebrity Apex or Celebrity Silhouette. Itineraries range from 11 to 13 nights and depart from Rotterdam or Amsterdam, Netherlands and Southampton, England (which is conveniently close to London) from May to August.

Itineraries

Why sail on a baltic sea cruise with celebrity.

Experience some of Europe’s most riveting cities while sailing in complete luxury on one of our cruise ships. Lounge at the Lawn Club and watch the Baltic Sea glitter as day turns to dusk. Sample local beer in Estonia, then try a new cocktail at one of our innovative bars. After a long, unforgettable day spent exploring Stockholm or Helsinki, you’ll be welcomed back to the ship, where exquisite cuisine, an award-winning wine list, and luxurious staterooms and suites await.

LIVE from Celebrity Apex: Best of Scandinavia May 25, 2023

" Congrats on your first "Live from..." Thanks for generously sharing your time at sea with everyone at Cruise Critic! "

love2crews. was awarded the badge '"Live from...."'

Please bear with me as this is my first live thread.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading other lives and thought it’d be nice to do my own. :)  It will also be a good way for us to document our trip. 

This will be our first sailing since the pandemic.  I am traveling with my mom and sister and we have had this girls trip planned since 2020… we all know how that went.  

It’s also our first Celebrity cruise and first time visiting each of these ports. Our original itinerary included an overnight in St. Petersburg which has since been replaced with Visby, Sweden.

We are very excited to experience the Apex and all it has to offer.  We are big foodies, so feel free to chime in with any snacks or food we need to try.  Expect lots of food photos!

At the moment, we’re finishing up all our packing.  We have a few days pre-cruise in Amsterdam as well as a few more days post-cruise.  We plan to explore the nearby cities as well and have an exciting itinerary planned.

Looking forward to sharing our trip with you all and thanks for following along! 🙂

Thank you for posting this live review, we’re doing the same itinerary next May except on the Silhouette. We will embark from Amsterdam and disembark in Rotterdam. Also planning close to a week in Amsterdam precruise so interested in what you guys do there. What are your ports? Have fun and hope the weather is wonderful!

The original itinerary was roundtrip Amsterdam, but was changed to roundtrip Rotterdam a few months back.  We decided to keep our hotel in Amsterdam and just head over to Rotterdam on the morning of the cruise.

We will be sure to share our Amsterdam activities here.   🤩

Beachlover1989

What a wonderful itinerary!  I'm really looking forward to following along on your cruise!  Thank you for doing this!

I'm booked for this one next July! Looking forward to your Live - thanks so much!

Thank you so much for this Live!!  Excited to follow you as we're onboard June 25 for same cruise and staying in Rotterdam pre-cruise.   Have a wonderful time on the Apex!!

What a wonderful cruise, looking forward to following you.  Also curious to hear how you first celebrity cruise is.

And we’re off to Amsterdam!   

Thanks for sharing your cruise with us! We are on the same cruise in 2 months so looking forward to hearing how yours goes. Safe travels!

Looking forward to your live review. We visited some of the ports on your itinerary on our Baltic cruise. If you love beautiful scenery, don’t miss the sail in (and sail away) through the Stockholm archipelago. I hope you three have a wonderful cruise!

Safe travels! Looking forward to your live review.

Excited to follow along on your travels. Thank you for sharing.

Following along as we are on this cruise in July.  Enjoy your trip!

Looking forward to following along. Enjoy your adventure 

Enjoy your cruise. We visited all those ports (Amsterdam instead of Rotterdam) on an Azamara cruise last summer. We really enjoyed all the ports.

I’ll have to remember that we need to get up extra early that morning, lol!

We made it to Amsterdam!

We had a great flight and Schipol was super easy.  I pre-arranged what they call “Meet and Assist” to have someone escort us through customs and help us collect our bags.  She was waiting for us as we walked off the plane and stayed with us until we found our driver.  I highly recommend this service.  It also allows you to essentially bypass the customs line (you go through the same line the flight attendants go through).

We arrived to our hotel around 1pm.  Fortunately, our room was ready before the 3pm check-in time.  I will upload hotel info and photos once we are checked out of the hotel.  So stay tuned! 

After dropping our luggage in our room, we were in need of some fresh air from being on the plane for so long.  We made the 30 minute trek to the Albert Cuyp market.  We weren’t too hungry, but needed to check a few snacks off our list.  We went to the original Rudi’s stroopwafel stand and opted to share the chocolate stropwafel.  There was a short line, but it went quick-I’d say not more than 5 minutes.  Right across from Rudi’s is a poffertjes stand and we got Nutella and banana.  YUM!  We also plan to try pickled herring and we looked for a licorice stand, but didn’t see one.  We could have missed it though.

On the walk back to our hotel, we were on the hunt for a little sandwich shop that caught my sister’s eye on our earlier walk to the market.  We finally found it, but they closed at 3pm. 😞  She rerouted us to another sandwich shop with good reviews, but we passed a Joe & The Juice before we made it there…so Joe & The Juice it was!  

Our last stop of the day was to Albert Heijn.  Contrary to what I read online, they DID accept my US credit card (VISA).  They had some really nice prepared charcuterie meats and cheeses.  We grabbed a couple to try and I’m currently snacking on them as I type this!  The “bests de fuet” is my favorite.

A little note: the streets are definitely a little wonky with some of the cobblestones and curbs (as expected in Europe), so you really need to watch your step.  It’s also hard to decipher the street and crosswalk/standing areas at times.  It feels like you’re standing in the middle of the street, but you’re technically standing in a standing area.  It’s confusing.  We almost got run over by bikes several times, too.  They come out of NOWHERE!

It’s also virtually impossible to take a bad photo here.  The weather today was wonderful and we didn’t even need a jacket.  No rain at all and sunny skies!  Amsterdam sure knows how to welcome us!  

We’ve got a full day planned for tomorrow, so off to bed!  My mom and sister are already asleep and it’s only 7pm here, lol!!  We are TIRED!

If anyone has tips/tricks for posting photos, I’m all ears!

I made the post on my iPad and then uploaded photos from my phone.  I’m going to try to figure out how to add spacing between the photos next time.

Following!  We will also be on this itinerary next May on the Silhouette.  Your first day in Amsterdam sounds really yummy!

Those stroopwafels are HUGE!

I’m very happy to see this! Do you think your arrival would have been fairly easy if you’d not booked the M&A service? We’re flying into AMS for a b2b in late July, and I’ve been hoping we wouldn’t encounter the chaos that passengers found last summer. I had noticed the M&A service on the AMS website, but hadn’t researched it further. It’s great to have a positive review! Thanks for mentioning it.

We are a little over a week behind you and so excited to keep up with your journey.  Thank you for posting.

I used to travel to Amsterdam for business quite often a few years ago.  Schipol is large but I like that airport.  Have a nice cruise and I will definitely be following along.

Your photos are nice and adding a blank space between them will make them show even better.

I find it easier just to add the space before I load each photo.  You can add the spaces after you load all the photos but you have to be careful where you tap on your screen to place your cursor before you hit the return key to add the space or you could wind up deleting the photo instead.  You will get the hang of it.

Your Amsterdam photos are wonderful

Discover Old European Charm on a Baltic Sea Cruise

If you’ve ever wanted to step inside a Medieval fairytale, a Baltic Sea cruise most certainly delivers. Experience the Middle Ages as you explore Tallinn’s UNESCO-protected Old Town. Marvel at Denmark’s magical castles, and amble along the cobblestone streets and radiant, historic buildings of Gamla Stan in Stockholm. Explore religious sites and the all-encompassing history of Berlin. Spend the afternoon in one of Helsinki’s fascinating museums, then take a dip in the deep blue Baltic Sea.

Embark on an unforgettable cruise vacation aboard Celebrity Apex or Celebrity Silhouette, where you’ll find stylish accommodations, luxurious amenities, and globally inspired cuisine. Discover the beguiling countries that surround the Baltic Sea with Celebrity Cruises, voted “Best Cruise Line in Europe” for nine consecutive years at Travel Weekly’s 16th Annual Readers’ Choice Awards.

Baltic Sea Cruise Highlights

Castles & palaces.

The countries along the Baltic Sea are brimming with historic castles and palaces. Go on a whirlwind tour of the famous castles of North Zealand outside of Copenhagen to see the royals’ part-time residence and the setting for Hamlet . Admire the stately Stockholm Palace where the King of Sweden resides. Explore the majestic Catherine Palace, the former summer retreat of Russian tsars. Revel in the romance and splendor of these opulent landmarks.

Outdoor Escapes

Kayak the Finnish archipelago surrounding Helsinki, or explore the scenic countryside of Porvoo. In Stockholm, venture beyond the city to the Långholmen Kajak, a Venice-like system of canals where you can enjoy a Swedish gondola ride. Venture to the Malusi islands off the coast of Estonia to spot seals in their natural habitat.

Urban Exploration

The extraordinary cities you’ll visit on a Baltic Sea cruise are brimming with culture, history, and excitement at every turn. Admire the quintessential rust-colored roofs of Tallinn. Stroll alongside the vibrant facades of Gamla Stan’s storied structures in Stockholm. Do as the locals do and bike through Copenhagen’s streets, admiring the sleek Scandinavian design juxtaposed with hundreds of years of history at every turn. 

Featured Ports

Copenhagen, denmark.

A stop in Copenhagen makes for a fabulous day in port while on a cruise to Scandinavia and to Northern Europe’s capitals. Spend the day admiring the city’s opulent castles and stroll along the colorful waterfront district of Nyhavn. Don’t forget to try a Danish brew and sample local eats at a food hall while you’re here.

Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in northern Europe. The city’s Old Town is filled with medieval houses and cobblestone alleyways still protected by the remnants of the city wall. Aside from Tallin’s charming city, you can venture to the countryside to sip vodka amongst the ruins of Rakvere Castle, or sample cheese at a local dairy farm.

Stockholm, Sweden

Discover Stockholm, the trend-setting capital of Sweden known as “Beauty on the Water”. Get a glimpse of a time before industrialization at Skansen, an open-air museum and zoo that showcases Sweden’s traditional way of life and exotic wildlife. Spend an afternoon at the Nationalmuseum or the Vasa Museum for a crash course in Viking history and Swedish art. No trip to the city is complete without spending a few hours in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town.

Baltic Sea Cruise Itineraries

On a cruise to the Baltic Sea, you’ll sail on award-winning ships like Celebrity Apex or Celebrity Silhouette. Itineraries range from 11 to 13 nights and depart from Rotterdam or Amsterdam, Netherlands and Southampton, England (which is conveniently close to London) from May to August.

Itineraries

Why sail on a baltic sea cruise with celebrity.

Experience some of Europe’s most riveting cities while sailing in complete luxury on one of our cruise ships. Lounge at the Lawn Club and watch the Baltic Sea glitter as day turns to dusk. Sample local beer in Estonia, then try a new cocktail at one of our innovative bars. After a long, unforgettable day spent exploring Stockholm or Helsinki, you’ll be welcomed back to the ship, where exquisite cuisine, an award-winning wine list, and luxurious staterooms and suites await.
