Celebrity Apex returns to Southampton

Following a hugely successful summer season in 2024, Celebrity Apex® returns to Southampton in 2025, and again in 2026, with a selection of no-fly cruises taking in everywhere from the sun-kissed Canary Islands to the majestic Norwegian Fjords. 

With a huge range of staterooms and suites, and flexible pricing options, Celebrity offers something for everyone aboard these ever-popular cruises. Speak to one of our specialists to discuss your options.

Voyages for 2025

The 2025 season is already well underway, and there is still availability on most of the cruises this summer. It is not too late to secure staterooms on selected cruises to the Norwegian Fjords, the Canary Islands and mainland Spain and Portugal, albeit with a limited choice of staterooms and suites on some of the most popular voyages. 

Booking now for 2026

There will be 16 round-trip voyages departing England's south coast between May and October 2026, which are now on sale. Itineraries vary from one-week to two-weeks, including in-depth explorations of Norway's Fjords and the Arctic Circle. Indeed, the Norway programme has no less than nine different sailings of between seven and 14 nights, exploring the best of the country's emblematic fjords and island-dotted coast. 

Sognefjord, Norway

Sticking with Northern Europe, there will also be the chance to explore the best of Scandinavia and the Baltics, taking in the likes of Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn, Helsinki and Visby. With just one departure date in 2026, departing 16 May, this 13-night is sure to be popular. 

Plus, there will be ample options for sun-seekers, with a range of options taking in Italy, Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands. There is even a cruise to the Mediterranean that coincides with the Solar Eclipse in August 2026.  

We recommend booking early for the best choice of suites and staterooms.
