The River View B stateroom is the most affordable cabin on Celebrity’s river cruise ships, located in the aft section of Deck 1 with just four cabins per ship. These waterline staterooms offer the same core Celebrity river cruise experience — king-size bed, stocked minibar, all-inclusive dining, and daily excursions — at the lowest fare in the fleet.
Cabin Numbers and Location
River View B staterooms are on Deck 1 (River Deck) in the aft section: 113, 114, 115, and 116. On the interactive deck plan, they’re shown in yellow (#FFD100). Cabins 113 and 115 are on the port side; 114 and 116 are on the starboard side. They sit at the very back of Deck 1, behind the River View A cabins.
Stateroom Size and Layout
Each River View B cabin is approximately 160–175 square feet, the same size as the River View A cabins. The layout is identical: king-size bed (convertible to twins), sitting area, writing desk, full bathroom, flat-screen TV, and a fixed picture window at the waterline. The only difference from River View A is the aft position on the ship.
Why the Price Difference
River View B cabins are typically priced slightly below River View A for two reasons: their aft location places them closer to the engine room, and the stern of the ship can experience slightly more vibration than the forward or midship sections. In practice, Celebrity’s new-build river ships use modern propulsion systems that minimize this, but the pricing convention still applies. For many travelers, the savings make this a non-issue.
What’s Included
Every inclusion that comes with a Celebrity river cruise is part of your River View B fare: complimentary stocked minibar, premium bedding and linens, twice-daily housekeeping, all meals across the ship’s restaurants, your choice of one shore excursion per day, select wines, beers, cocktails, and soft drinks, and complimentary WiFi. The onboard experience is identical regardless of cabin category — the same restaurants, the same excursions, the same service.
Who Should Book River View B
This is the cabin for travelers who want to experience a Celebrity river cruise at the best possible price. If you plan to be out exploring ports during the day and enjoying the ship’s public spaces in the evening, you’ll spend very little time in your cabin anyway. The savings between River View B and an upper-deck balcony suite can be significant — potentially enough to book an extra excursion, extend your trip with a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay, or simply keep more money in your pocket.
How It Compares
River View B is essentially the same cabin as River View A in a slightly less desirable location. The step up from here is the Balcony Forward or Balcony Aft stateroom on Deck 2, which adds a private balcony and moves you one deck higher. Whether that upgrade is worth the price difference depends on how much you value having your own outdoor space versus exploring the ship’s communal sun deck, lounges, and bars.
