Another check on the bucket list. This is the perfect welcome to Celebrity Xcel.
Bora

Here you will have the best sea views from the top of the ship and an over-the-top Bloody Mary bar. As the sun sets, Bora will bring the flavours of the Mediterranean to your table like never before. As you watch the night sky, any table you are given is the best in the house. Dinner at Bora is not to be missed, an intimate and personalised experience with elevated cocktails and dishes prepared tableside. Whether you’re in the mood for a deliciously lively brunch or an elegantly romantic dinner, Bora is a must-do for the date night that lasts all day long!

At the Bazaar, you’ll be swept off your feet as you experience the vibrant festivals and cultural moments that make each destination famous, all without leaving the ship.
