Celebrity Cruises has become the first cruise line to earn Forbes Travel Guide (FTG) Stars with five of their cruise ships now being Star-Rated.
Forbes Travel Guide Stars is a prestigious travel recognition that has been reserved for world class land based properties. Fewer than 20 properties with over 1,000 rooms have received this award and now Celebrity Cruises is the first cruise line to receive this coveted recognition.
The inaugural Star-Rated cruise ships are Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Flora, Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Summit. The remainder of the cruise line’s 15-ship fleet will be evaluated in the year ahead, except for the smaller Galapagos ships.

It’s confirmation that with our resorts at sea, our guests truly sail on the world’s best places to the world’s best places,” said Celebrity Cruises President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo. “I’d like to congratulate the entire Celebrity family, both at sea and shoreside, for this special recognition. I celebrate each and every one of you and thank you for your dedication and commitment to delivering the best vacations at sea.”
“Forbes Travel Guide is thrilled to announce Celebrity ships as the world’s first Star-Rated resorts at sea in the new ocean cruise category,” said Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. “Celebrity has delivered on Forbes Travel Guide’s standards time and time again during meticulous incognito inspections – offering guests experiences that rival those at the very best land-based properties. We congratulate Celebrity Cruises on this spectacular and historic accomplishment.”

Celebrity has been upgrading their oldest class of ships, the Millennium class, over the past few years with Celebrity Millennium winning the Four-Star award and Celebrity Summit the Recommended award.
The cruise line’s mega yacht, Celebrity Flora, offers expedition cruises to the Galapagos and is one of the most eco-friendly ships at sea. This vessel earned Four-Stars from Forbes.
