About Celebrity Wanderer

Celebrity Wanderer is one of three Celebrity River Cruises ships debuting in 2028, following Compass and Seeker. Built to the same TeamCo design, it carries 172 guests in 86 staterooms across five categories, every one with a king-size bed and butler service in every suite. Celebrity describes it as blending quiet luxury with thoughtful design, with open-air lounges, a panoramic bow terrace, skylit lounges, hybrid power and next-generation hull engineering for a smoother, quieter ride.

Wanderer suits couples and small groups who want a brand-new river ship with most of the trip included. Wi-Fi, unlimited drinks, continental breakfast in your stateroom and one guided excursion a day are part of the fare.
