About Celebrity River Cruise Blog
Welcome! Celebrity River Cruise Blog is your independent, fan-run resource for everything related to Celebrity Cruises’ new river cruise line, launching in Europe in August 2027.
Who We Are
This blog is created and maintained by the team at Pixie Vacations, a full-service travel agency based in Atlanta, Georgia. We’re Steve and Lisa Griswold — experienced travel advisors who are passionate about cruising and helping families plan unforgettable vacations.
You might know us from our Mouse Chat podcast (15+ years of family travel content), our Travel with Griz YouTube channel, or our other travel sites including Pixie Honeymoons and Universal Family Vacations.
Why This Blog Exists
When Celebrity announced their entry into river cruising, we knew this would be a game-changer. Celebrity has set the standard for premium ocean cruising, and their river line promises to bring that same elevated experience to Europe’s most iconic waterways.
We created this blog to be the go-to resource for anyone researching Celebrity River Cruises — whether you’re comparing river cruise lines, trying to understand stateroom categories, or looking for honest reviews once sailings begin.
What You’ll Find Here
Our content covers ship guides with detailed specs and features, itinerary breakdowns for Rhine and Danube routes, stateroom comparisons to help you pick the right cabin, dining and onboard experience previews, packing tips, and honest comparisons with competitors like Viking, AmaWaterways, and Avalon Waterways.
Independent & Unbiased
This is NOT an official Celebrity Cruises website. We are an independent fan blog. Our opinions are our own, and we aim to provide balanced, helpful information to help you make the best decision for your river cruise vacation.
