Inside Staterooms

Best for: Budget-friendly travelers who don’t mind skipping the view

Inside staterooms are the most affordable option on Celebrity’s ships. They offer cozy, comfortable spaces with all the essentials—plush bedding, plenty of storage, and modern bathrooms. Some newer ships also offer “Infinite Inside” rooms featuring virtual windows for added ambiance.

Highlights:

• Most budget-friendly

• Perfect for travelers who plan to spend most of their time exploring the ship

• Darker environment ideal for sleeping

Oceanview Staterooms

Best for: Guests who want natural light without the cost of a balcony

Oceanview rooms include a large picture window that brings in plenty of sunlight and scenery. They’re a great step up from inside cabins and often only slightly higher in price.

Highlights:

• Large window with natural light

• Comfortable layout with more openness than inside rooms

• Great mid-range value

Veranda Staterooms

Best for: Travelers who love fresh ocean air, private outdoor space, and scenic views

Veranda staterooms are among the most popular choices on Celebrity. These rooms offer a private balcony—perfect for morning coffee, sunset views, or quiet relaxation.

Highlights:

• Private balcony with seating

• More spacious layout

• Ideal for couples and anyone who enjoys private outdoor space

Special Note: Infinite Verandas (Edge-Class Ships)

Available on the Edge, Apex, Beyond, Ascent, and Xcel, Infinite Verandas use a floor-to-ceiling window that lowers to create an open-air balcony. This design expands your living area and gives you full control over indoor/outdoor flow.

Concierge Class

Best for: Guests who want elevated service and priority treatment without the price of a suite

Concierge Class adds a layer of premium perks on top of a Veranda stateroom. You still get a private balcony, but with added amenities, personalized service, and priority access.

Included Benefits:

• Priority check-in and boarding

• Dedicated Concierge team

• Exclusive Concierge luncheon

• Welcome sparkling wine

• Premium bathroom amenities

• Exclusive destination seminars

• Priority dining time selection

Perfect for guests who want a slightly more luxurious experience while staying in a comfortable balcony stateroom.

AquaClass

Blu Restaurant - exclusively for guests of AquaClass and and Aqua Sky Suites

Best for: Wellness-focused travelers seeking a spa-inspired experience

AquaClass staterooms are perfect for guests who love relaxation, spa access, and healthier dining options. The experience revolves around well-being and serenity.

Included Benefits:

• Access to the SEA Thermal Suite (Edge-Class) or Persian Garden (other ships)

• Exclusive dining in Blu Restaurant

AquaClass strikes a perfect balance between luxury and relaxation without stepping into suite-level pricing.
