A Five-Star accolade has been awarded by Forbes Travel Guide for the first time to Le Voyage, managed by Chef Daniel Boulud, on board the Celebrity Xcel.
This achievement represents another milestone for Celebrity, which became the inaugural cruise line to receive a Forbes Travel Guide Star Award in 2023 and was acknowledged in the first ratings for on-board dining establishments in 2025.
“At Celebrity Cruises, refined hospitality is a core aspect of who we are. Inspired by our guests, we conceptualize and provide experiences that forge unforgettable memories and stories unique to our offerings. This commitment to outstanding quality is evident in our culinary selections… We are deeply proud and privileged to receive the first-ever Five-Star award from Forbes Travel Guides for a marine dining establishment,” explained Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises.
Le Voyage also attained a Four-Star rating on the Celebrity Ascent (together with Fine Cut Steakhouse) and on the Celebrity Apex.
In 2026, four Celebrity vessels received overall ratings, including Celebrity Xcel (Recommended), Celebrity Ascent (Four Star), Celebrity Apex (Recommended), and Celebrity Flora (Recommended).
Each Forbes Travel Guide Star Rating is derived from anonymous assessments conducted in person, evaluated against hundreds of objective criteria with an emphasis on outstanding service.
