Celebrity Cruises has announced its next president’s cruise: an eight-night sailing through the Norwegian Fjords in 2025.

Fresh off the heels of Celebrity’s 2024 president’s cruise in the Caribbean, the company today revealed the next iteration, slated to depart May 17, 2025. Guests will join Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises, aboard the Celebrity Apex for the special voyage.

Members of Celebrity’s loyalty program, Captain’s Club, will have the opportunity to meet Hodges Bethge and other cruise line leaders during the sailing, which includes stops in Oslo, Alesund and Bergen.

“The President’s Cruise is a massive celebration of our Captain’s Club members, and the sailing is an incredible opportunity for me and my executive team to spend time with our guests,” says Hodges Bethge. "It is incredibly rewarding to hear guests’ stories and experience Celebrity through their eyes. The feedback and ideas we receive while onboard are instrumental in shaping the future of Celebrity Cruises, allowing us to innovate and enhance our offerings in ways that truly resonate with our guests.” 

At the end of June, Hodges Bethge hosted the 2024 president’s cruise aboard the Celebrity Beyond. The 6-night sailing included performances by members of the Team USA Artistic Swimming team, entertainment from Guinness World Record holding hula hoopers and games like the officers vs. guests pool volleyball game, umpired by Hodges Bethge.

The voyage also stopped at Perfect Day at CocoCay, the private island destination where Celebrity recently began sailing.
