About Celebrity Seeker
Celebrity Seeker is the second ship of Celebrity River Cruises and a sister to Celebrity Compass, debuting on Europe’s rivers in late 2027. Built by TeamCo in the Netherlands, it carries 172 guests in 86 staterooms across five categories, every one with a king-size bed and butler service in every suite. Like Compass it brings Edge Series ideas to the river: Skylight Infinite Balcony Suites, the cantilevered Magic Edge dining pods, a top-deck bar and grille and an infinity-edge plunge pool at the stern.
Seeker is built for couples and small groups who want a new 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. Eight restaurants and bars include two main dining rooms, Café al Bacio, a reservation-only Chef’s Table, the Top Deck Bar and Grille, the Martini Bar and the Sunset Lounge and Bar. Hybrid systems and a lightweight hull are designed for quieter, smoother sailing.
Celebrity describes Seeker’s itineraries as pairing iconic cities with scenic stretches of river, from the castles of the Rhine to the Danube’s Christmas markets. Its first published sailings are 7-night Upper Danube cruises between Budapest and Vilshofen through Hungary, Austria and Germany, with Vienna, Bratislava, Melk, Linz and Passau en route, and festive departures in November and December 2027. Pre and post-cruise stays are offered in Budapest and Prague.
