What happened
Celebrity Cruises announced new Caribbean itineraries for its sixth Edge Class ship, Celebrity Xcite, which is scheduled to debut in 2028. The ship's inaugural season will feature seven-night Caribbean vacations from Miami, with rotating stops in St. Thomas, Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic. The company also plans new short weekend cruises departing from Fort Lauderdale.
Why it matters
The expansion of Edge Class sailings and the addition of new destinations like Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic could increase tourism demand and port activity in those regions. This expansion also includes new short sailings departing from Fort Lauderdale.
