Celebrity Equinox

The Mediterranean, South America and the long way between

Celebrity Equinox spends much of her programme in the Western Mediterranean, on 8- to 11-night round trips from Barcelona. These run from March to May and again from September to November. Stops change between departures, but Lisbon, Seville, Tangiers and Málaga are typical. Between May and September she also sails 9- and 10-night one-ways linking Barcelona and Civitavecchia (Rome). Naples, Portofino and Villefranche-sur-Mer are among the ports you might see.

In November she crosses the Atlantic from Barcelona to Buenos Aires over 16 nights. Calls vary, though Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Salvador da Bahia and Rio de Janeiro often feature. From December to February, during the Australian summer, she runs 12- and 14-night round trips from Buenos Aires around South America. Typical calls include Ushuaia, Punta Arenas and Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands.

She also sails 16- and 17-night round trips from Los Angeles to Hawaii in April and October. Honolulu, Hilo and Kailua-Kona are among the island ports on those voyages. In May and June she runs 7-night Alaska sailings from Vancouver, ending in Seward. Wherever she sails from, we book the flights out and home, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday. She belongs to Celebrity’s Solstice Class, which includes Celebrity Solstice. The rest of the line is on our Celebrity Cruises page.

Grilling beside the lawn and dinner on your own terms

The Lawn Club Grill is the restaurant that makes her. It is an open-air grill overlooking a lawn of fresh-cut grass and the sea. Chefs work custom-built grills, and there is a salad bar, build-your-own pizza and more than 12 grill specialties. It carries a charge, as does Murano, a nouveau take on classic French cooking. The Main Restaurant is included in the fare, with menus that change nightly. You choose early seating at 6pm, late seating at 8:30pm, or dining whenever you like.

Glassblowing, sunset drinks and evenings with a view

Hot Glass is the corner guests tend to remember. It is a glassblowing studio where an instructor helps you shape your own piece from a dozen designs, for a fee. Drinks come with sea views at the expanded Sunset Bar. Evenings in the Sky Observation Lounge move from trivia to candlelit concerts. Families have Camp at Sea, her children’s programme, which is included in the fare and changes its schedule each sailing to suit the young cruisers aboard. Grown-ups can slip away to the Solarium, kept for guests aged 16 and over. The All Inclusive fare bundles a classic drinks package with basic Wi-Fi, while the Standard fare lets you pick extras yourself. Our All Inclusive Mediterranean cruises for 2027 show sailings sold that way.

Cabins and deck plans on Celebrity Equinox

AquaClass gives its guests the Blu Restaurant at breakfast and dinner, unlimited use of the Persian Garden and a personal spa concierge. The Retreat’s suites come with a personal butler, the private Luminae restaurant and a lounge, plus premium drinks and Wi-Fi. Her cabins and deck plans show which staterooms carry AquaClass access, worth knowing if unwinding is the point of your trip.
