Celebrity Cruises has brought its premium holiday experiences to Port Canaveral, Florida, offering even more ways to escape to the Caribbean.

Guests can now enjoy Caribbean escapes on Celebrity Equinox with seven-night sailings to tropical destinations including The Bahamas, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico, Belize, and more. With the addition of Port Canaveral, Celebrity Cruises now offers sailings from coast to coast in Florida, providing guests the choice of four ports in the state to begin their journey from.

“At Celebrity we are continually striving to elevate our guests’ holiday experience from start to finish, and are delighted to offer even more ways to relax, unwind, and explore the Caribbean,” Celebrity Cruises president, Laura Hodges Bethge, said. “The addition of Port Canaveral offers guests the ultimate flexibility for their perfect Caribbean getaway.”

Celebrity Equinox‘s seven-night itineraries from Port Canaveral visits more than 15 sought-after Caribbean destinations, offering endless chances to restore and explore. Guests can discover the unique flavours and cultures of destinations including Jamacia, Grand Cayman and Mexico, and experience Perfect Day at CocoCay, Celebrity Cruises’ highest rated destination in the Caribbean.

Guests sailing on Celebrity Equinox will have the opportunity to enjoy the private island’s unique experiences including Coco Beach Club, where guests can take a dip in the beachfront infinity pool, indulge in a top-notch dining experience or soak up endless views of blue with the first Overwater Cabanas in the Bahamas, and the adults-only beachfront experience, Hideaway Beach, with a DJ, four bars and island-inspired eateries.

On board, Celebrity Equinox blends the intimacy and service of small ships with the thrill and excitement of larger ones. Guests can enjoy unparallelled culinary offerings and endless moments for libation with more than 20 food and beverage destinations on board and the most awarded wine program at sea. World class entertainment offers something for everyone, the ultimate relaxation awaits at The Spa, with more than 120 spa treatments to choose from, and so many more moments perfect for unwinding on island time.

Celebrity Cruises further expands its Port Canaveral offerings next year. Starting in winter 2025, the brand brings its award-winning Edge Series to the region with seven-night Caribbean sailings on Celebrity Apex.
