Our Celebrity Beyond Ship Tour: Secrets, Luxury & Must-Sees!

Elevate Your Vacation with Celebrity Beyond: Our Exclusive Ship Tour Insights

At Maria North & Mark Seeberger - Dream Vacations, we believe that firsthand experiences make all the difference when curating dream vacations for our clients. Recently, we had the privilege of touring Celebrity Beyond, and it’s safe to say this ship takes cruising to a whole new level. Whether you're looking for top-tier luxury, world-class dining, or unique entertainment, this stunning vessel has something for everyone.

The Retreat & Luminae: The Ultimate VIP Upgrade

For guests seeking an exclusive, elevated experience, The Retreat is the ultimate escape. With a private sundeck, lounge, and access to Luminae, this area offers world-class perks, including a restaurant featuring dishes curated by Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud. Hidden gem: Some menu items at Luminae are exclusive to Retreat guests, making it a truly special dining experience.        

The Magic Carpet & Poolside Bliss

The Magic Carpet is one of Celebrity Beyond’s most exciting innovations—this multi-level, moving platform transforms into a bar, restaurant, and even a tender platform when docking. Meanwhile, the pool deck is designed for ultimate relaxation, featuring plush loungers, semi-private cabanas, and panoramic ocean views. Pro tip: Head to the Magic Carpet at sunset—few places onboard offer a better vantage point!

The Solarium: A Serene Escape

This adults-only, glass-enclosed retreat is the perfect place to unwind. Complete with a quiet pool, cozy loungers, and a soothing ambiance, it’s a must-visit for relaxation seekers. Secret spot: The hidden loungers near the windows offer breathtaking ocean views without the crowds.

Broadway at Sea: The Theater

Celebrity Beyond’s state-of-the-art theater delivers jaw-dropping performances that rival Broadway productions. Whether it’s high-tech visual effects or immersive storytelling, these shows are truly one of a kind. Insider tip: Arrive early for interactive seating—some performances take audience engagement to the next level!

The Spa on Celebrity Beyond: Pure Indulgence

Think ocean views, soothing treatments, and the ultimate escape from reality. Here’s how to make the most of your wellness retreat:

• Unlock the SEA Thermal Suite – If you're lucky enough to be in an AquaClass® stateroom, it’s free! Otherwise, grab a pass to soak in the infrared sauna, salt room, and hammam. You’ll leave feeling like royalty.
• What’s a hammam? – It’s a traditional steam bath inspired by ancient Roman and Middle Eastern bathing rituals. Expect warm, humid air that opens your pores, followed by exfoliation and cleansing for a deeply refreshing experience.
• Treat yourself to something extra – Beyond massages, try CoolSculpting® or high-tech facials for that vacation glow. Who says self-care isn’t an adventure?
• Join an epic fitness class – Whether it’s F45, HIIT, or LIT Bungee Fit, you’ll break a sweat while overlooking the ocean. It’s basically working out in paradise.

Celebrity Beyond’s spa isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about transforming the way you vacation. 

Casino & Art Gallery: A Taste of Elegance

Feeling lucky? The casino offers a variety of gaming options, from slot machines to blackjack and poker. Meanwhile, the art gallery showcases a curated collection of exclusive pieces, many of which are available for purchase. Hidden gem: Some artworks onboard are unique to Celebrity Cruises—you won’t find them anywhere else!

The Martini Bar: Cocktails with a Show

Located in the Grand Plaza, the Martini Bar is an experience in itself. With a stunning chandelier that transforms throughout the evening, paired with bartenders who put on a flair-filled show, this is the spot for evening entertainment. Must-try: The espresso martini—it’s a fan favorite!

Dining on Celebrity Beyond: Elevating Every Meal

Celebrity Beyond’s main dining rooms—Cyprus, Cosmopolitan, Normandie, and Tuscan—each offer a distinct culinary experience. Guests are assigned one dining room, but you can request to dine in the others based on availability. We had the opportunity to experience the Concierge Class lunch in Normandie, a French-inspired venue serving elegant dishes like Coquilles Saint-Jacques and Beef Tenderloin En Croûte. The service was impeccable, making the meal even more memorable.

Dining Tips:

• Stick with your service team—they’ll get to know your preferences, ensuring a more personalized and seamless dining experience.
• Explore the rotating menus—each night brings new flavors alongside classics like grilled chicken and New York strip steak.
• Ask about wine pairings—each dining room offers a curated selection to complement your meal, enhancing the flavors of every dish.

Quick Bites & Smaller Eateries: Hidden Culinary Gems

Beyond the grand dining rooms, Celebrity Beyond boasts several lesser-known spots that offer quick yet delicious bites.

• Eden Café – Nestled within Eden’s lush greenery, this café serves fresh sandwiches, salads, and pastries. Secret find: The outdoor seating offers an incredible ocean view.
• Mast Grill – Love classic poolside eats? Grab a burger or hot dog without leaving your lounger. Pro tip: Request the secret sauce—it’s next-level good!
• Oceanview Café – This buffet offers made-to-order stations where chefs prepare dishes right in front of you. Hidden gem: International food stations rotate daily, so there’s always something new to try.
• Spa Café & Juice Bar – Located in the Solarium, this spot is ideal for health-conscious cruisers. Detox tip: Try the fresh juice blends—especially after indulging in Celebrity’s gourmet dining!
