Celebrity Cruises is a "premium" sister to Royal Caribbean, with a target audience of adults from 35 to 60.

In 2012, Celebrity has scheduled its "largest-ever European lineup," with five ships visiting 70 ports in 22 countries. (Among the offerings are new itineraries originating in Venice, one of the Mediterranean's most popular--and spectacular--cruise ports.)

Families are welcome on most Celebrity cruises, and each ship has a staff of youth counselors to supervise activities for kids from 3 to 17.
