Celebrity Ascent Earns Forbes' Four-Star Award

Celebrity Cruises was the first cruise line to be recognized by the Forbes Travel Guide's Star Awards, and the company continues to collect accolades. Six of its ships were added to the four-star list in 2024, including the brand new Celebrity Ascent. The other ships earning the honor are Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Flora, Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Millennium, and Celebrity Summit.

“We strive to exceed all expectations for our guests seeking the best in premium vacations, from our level of elevated service, thoughtful amenities, and the highest quality of experiences both on and off our ships. We are honored to be recognized again by the only global rating system for the ocean cruise category,” says Laura Hodges Bethge, Celebrity Cruises President. “We applaud our incredibly talented and dedicated Celebrity crew for another year of international recognition.”

“Celebrity embodies the modern-day ethos of elevated service, elegant facilities and upscale dining options with the added benefit of being on the move to a variety of destinations,” said Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. “We congratulate Celebrity for its Star Award achievements for six ships.”
