The four main restaurants onboard – Normandie, Tuscan, Cosmopolitan, and Cyprus – offer a refined dining experience with a rotating menu and excellent service in a sophisticated setting throughout the day. However, this is far from the only thing worth looking forward to dining aboard Celebrity Ascent. The Oceanview Café, Mast Grill, and Spa Café are all among the incredible selection of complimentary dining options available – and you’ll find a casual atmosphere with great conversation and fantastic cuisine throughout.

Beyond this, though, you’ll find the following dining experiences onboard – some of which are available at an additional cost, but oh-so worth the extra spend:

• Le Voyage - from Daniel Boulard, this refined restaurant whisks you away on a culinary adventure with dishes inspired by global flavours and foods

It’s no surprise that the entertainment aboard Celebrity Ascent is innovative, immersive, and wholly captivating. An award-winning resort at sea, this cruise ship takes things to another level with an impressive variety of live stage productions in The Theatre – a contemporary performance space with synchronized projectors, aerial rigging, and more state-of-the-art technology behind the scenes – and dazzling displays of acrobatic finesse and breathtaking choreography in Eden.

You’ll also find an impressive selection of shows to enjoy, and unique augmented reality experiences, in The Club; meanwhile, elsewhere onboard, you’ll be met with live music, singalong sessions, interactive quizzes, and more!

However you want to spend a sea day, you can rest assured knowing that there will be something entertaining happening onboard. And, in addition to these incredible entertainment venues, you’ll find the following among the impressive selection of bars and lounges aboard Celebrity Ascent:

• The Martini Bar - boasting an organic shape with an inviting glow at all hours, this is a great place to grab a drink throughout the day and into the evening
• Sunset Bar - this aft-facing al fresco bar is, as the name suggests, an excellent place to watch the sun set with something sweet while at sea
• The Spa Cafe & Juice Bar - after indulging at the spa, head here to grab something refreshing and keep your ‘feel good’ feeling going
• Craft Social Bar - with boutique beers and creative cocktails, this venue is a comfortable place to grab a drink and socialise with friends and family

From colourful circus shows to thumping DJ sets, the entertainment on Celebrity Ascent goes beyond traditional cruise entertainment to bring you fresh experiences you won’t soon forget. The highlight of these, though, is the Magic Carpet – a cantilevered floating platform on the side of the ship. An innovative space with sensational ocean views, you’ll find a full bar and space for live music performances here.

Celebrity Ascent is a cruise ship suitable for sailors of all ages, and you’ll be pleased to know that there are incredible kid’s clubs available on each sailing – despite there not being too many attractions designed specifically for children onboard.

In Camp at Sea, you’ll find a variety of age-appropriate activities for children of all ages. In Shipmates (ages 3 to 5), younger travellers will have the chance to practice their arts and crafts under the supervision and guidance of experienced youth staff. Meanwhile, in Cadets (ages 6 to 9), children will learn the basics of sailing and socialise with Lawn Club games, movie nights, and more group activities throughout your voyage.

Beyond this, Captains (ages 10 to 12) will afford children a little more freedom onboard, with scavenger hunts and competitions on the agenda, and Teens (ages 13 to 17) will be able to socialise with one another in The Basement – a hangout where you’ll find video game tournaments, silent disco parties, and more.

With both The Basement and Camp at Sea dedicated areas to younger cruisers, children of all ages will find themselves with entertainment and activities throughout your holiday. And, of course, there’s nothing stopping them from checking out some of the other entertainment options onboard; Celebrity Cruises is a cruise line that caters to adventurers of all ages.
