AquaClass is Celebrity's most distinctive fare tier and, arguably, the single strongest value proposition in the mass-premium segment. Cabins are standard balconies (or Sky-Suite equivalents on Edge-class) on preferred spa decks, but the tier unlocks two benefits that are worth materially more than the upcharge.
First, exclusive access to Blu — a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant reserved for AquaClass and Retreat guests, with no reservations required and menus that rotate nightly. Blu is consistently rated the strongest included dining venue on any Celebrity ship.
Second, complimentary access to the Persian Garden thermal suite plus priority spa reservations, in-cabin yoga mats, and specialised spa-oriented turndown amenities. AquaSky Suites and AquaClass Sky-Suites on Edge-class ships add a full Retreat-adjacent bathroom package.
AquaClass sits below the Retreat and above the standard Concierge Class and Veranda tiers. For couples who want the strongest included dining and a genuinely spa-focused cruise without paying suite pricing, it is often the correct booking on any Celebrity ship.
What's included
- Balcony stateroom on preferred spa decks
