A candlelit classic rock concert and an interactive 1980s-themed show have been revealed among the entertainment features to debut on the new Celebrity Xcel cruise ship.
The new Celebrity Cruises vessel is set to launch in November with sailings from Fort Lauderdale and is promising several new entertainment experiences for guests.
The line-up includes three new theatre productions featuring aerialists and parkour artists, two interactive club shows, music experiences and dance parties.
Lisa Lehr, vice president of entertainment for Celebrity Cruises, said: “Celebrity Xcel will further elevate Celebrity’s award-winning offering to create a world-class entertainment destination our guests are going to love.
“With more than 75 resident performers, guests will find unforgettable experiences and unexpected surprises at every turn.”
Here is what you can expect from Celebrity Xcel’s entertainment.
Theatre shows
Passengers can enjoy three exclusive shows in The Theatre aboard Celebrity Xcel, which combine singers, dancers, parkour artists, and specialty aerial performers with kinetic lighting, pyrotechnics and a 110-foot curved kinetic LED screen.
The new Celebrity Xcel shows include Mainstage, a live music concert that transports audiences to the world’s top music festivals, featuring hits from artists across the decades.
