From sunrise to starry nights, Celebrity XcelSM has reimagined how couples can share unforgettable moments at sea. Dive into dreamy brunches, sunset sips, intimate dinners and experiences you’ll remember long after you disembark.
Rooftop Brunches with Live Music
Celebrity Xcel’s stunning Bora restaurant transforms the ship’s rooftop into a Mediterranean-inspired brunch paradise. From about 10am to 2pm, couples can sip on customizable Bloody Marys with over-the-top garnishes at a dedicated bar while panoramic sea views stretch before them. The menu blends classic brunch comforts with Mediterranean flair. Think dishes like French toast with orange zest, figs and pistachios, shakshuka eggs with coriander, croissant eggs Benedict topped with lemon-scented salmon gravlax and hollandaise and avocado on sourdough toast — all designed to be shared while live music floats through the open-air space.
Enjoy a Mediterranean-style brunch with live music and sea views.
Sip cocktails and watch the sun set from a multi-level oceanfront bar.
Sunset Cocktails at the Multi-Level Sunset Bar
As afternoon shifts into evening, there’s no better spot to pause together than the Sunset Bar, a multi-level, terraced lounge perched aft with 360-degree views of the horizon. Here, the atmosphere is elegant but laid-back. Toast the sinking sun with signature cocktails, rosé, craft beer or sparkling wine while live pop and folk tunes underscore the moment.
Intimate Dinners at Bora
When night falls, Bora evolves from a vibrant brunch haven into one of the most romantic dinner venues at sea. With the stars overhead and gentle sea breezes weaving through the rooftop garden, this is where Mediterranean cuisine truly shines. The dinner menu showcases seafood and regional specialities meant to be shared and savored together — from fresh sea bream with garlic and parsley to lamb tagine with saffron couscous, toasted almonds, dry fruits and mint and carabinero prawns paired with elegant wines chosen to complement the flavors. Tableside presentation and mellow live music enhance the ambiance, turning a dinner into a slow, memorable night of conversation and connection.
