The vessels will be equipped with a hybrid propulsion system and technology to reduce noise and vibration.
The company stated the new ships combine the design of its ocean-going vessels with a patent-pending design that it claimed offers more usable outdoor space than other river ships.
The open decks will feature transformative shade structures, a top-deck bar and grille, and an infinity-edge plunge pool. The ships will also be equipped with what the company described as the “first-ever” cantilevered dining pods which allow guests to dine while floating above the river.
The ships will have five stateroom categories, including suites, with king-sized beds in every room and veranda access. Celebrity also noted that guests will have a choice of eight restaurants and bars onboard.
The company said its inaugural season will feature 33 seven-night sailings, offering multiple ports per day and overnight stays.
“Celebrity River Cruises ships will be the most innovative on the river, with a patent-pending industry-leading design that offers more space to vacation while bringing guests even closer to destinations,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises.
