Celebrity River Cruises has unveiled its Destination Discovery Program for 2027 sailings — a curated shore excursion experience that goes beyond typical river cruise port stops. The announcement comes as priority bookings for 2027 sailings continue to sell rapidly.
What Is the Destination Discovery Program?
Rather than offering a standard menu of bus tours, Celebrity is designing immersive, multi-layered experiences at each port — private wine cellar tastings in the Wachau Valley, chef-led market tours in Budapest, guided cycling along the Danube, and after-hours access to cultural landmarks.
Every sailing includes one Destination Discovery excursion per port at no extra charge. Premium experiences will also be available for those wanting to go deeper.
Priority Bookings Selling Fast
When Celebrity opened priority access in September 2025, demand exceeded expectations. Several inaugural Danube sailings reportedly sold out within weeks, and Rhine Christmas Markets departures are seeing particularly strong interest.
Booking Tip: Suite categories sell first due to limited inventory. Booking early through a travel advisor like Pixie Vacations ensures the best selection and can often secure additional perks.
