Celebrity Xcel marks a monumental leap in sustainable maritime design. Equipped with a groundbreaking Wärtsilä engine arrangement, the vessel can run on three fuel types, including renewable bio-methanol.

  • Methanol Ready: Capable of carbon-neutral cruising when bunkered with green methanol.
  • Shore Power Connection: Plugs directly into local electrical grids in ports like Marseille, Cannes, and Barcelona, eliminating local emissions.
  • Parabolic Bow: Pierces waves with 20% greater fuel efficiency compared to conventional bulbous bows.
