Activities & Entertainment
Embark on an adventure like no other aboard Celebrity Ascent, where every turn brings a new discovery or thrill. The Grand Plaza sparkles with metropolitan flair, playing host to captivating performances and vibrant bars such as the Martini Bar.
Find yourself transported in the Rooftop Garden: think floating pools that extend over the ocean. Or why not relax on the Resort Deck, which boasts one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces – perfect for grown-up downtime – alongside more pools? One of these is located in the adults-only Solarium area, another blissful spot for chilling out.
Prepare to be amazed by the Magic Carpet. Cantilevered over the waves, this floating platform offers mesmerizing views while live music plays. Look out for cool pop-up dining events here too.
In Eden, you can have experiences that play on all your senses at once; later, try your luck in the casino (it’s got a Vegas-style vibe). The Theatre will show productions worthy of any West End or Broadway house – look out for edgier shows created exclusively for Celebrity Cruisers, too.
There’s never a dull moment onboard, including exclusive shopping opportunities at The Celebrity Shops!
Dining Options
Come try our food on Celebrity Ascent – it’s really good! There are loads of places to eat: fancy ones where you pay extra for something special or four restaurants where the food is free but still amazing.
You can also eat for free in lots of other places like the Eden Café (which isn’t just a café) or the Spa Café and Juice Bar – they don’t just do juice!
If you’re staying in The Retreat (lucky you) or AquaClass accommodation, there are restaurants just for you: Luminae at The Retreat and Blu Restaurant. The food here is out of this world!
They’ve got bars all over the place, too. How about having a cocktail made by an award-winning bartender in the World Class Bar? Or sipping a drink while looking at views that go on forever from the Sunset Bar? And yes, they even have a Martini Bar… several, actually!
