Celebrity Cruises has scored a massive 25 honors at the 2026 Wine Spectator Awards. The haul backs up the cruise line’s claim to the most awarded wine program at sea, bringing its impressive total to 165 awards over 14 consecutive years.
The accolades span Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series, Solstice Series, and Millennium Series ships, including two brand new Celebrity Cruises venues.
Trattoria Rossa, which debuted with the revitalized Celebrity Solstice in March 2026, serves Roman and Southern Italian cuisine and has quickly become a guest favorite. Mosaic on Celebrity Xcel, which set sail in November 2025, serves reimagined and elevated dishes inspired by the regions the ship is sailing.
Celebrity Cruises also earned Awards of Excellence, for restaurants on each of their five Edge-class ships as well as Celebrity Solstice.
Also recognized by Wine Spectator is Le Voyage – the restaurant by renowned chef Daniel Boulud, Celebrity’s global culinary ambassador – which earlier this year became the first Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rated restaurant at sea
“Celebrity Cruises constantly redefines the possibilities of food and beverage at sea, and this industry-leading recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence,” said Jan Sorensen, Celebrity Cruises’ vice-president of food and beverage operations. “With up to 32 food and beverage venues on board, we offer something for every guest’s preference, while providing authentic, globally inspired experiences like no other.”
Wine Spectator generally honors restaurants on land. The awards look for wine lists that display excellent breadth across multiple winegrowing regions and/or significant vertical depth of top producers, along with superior presentation. Typically offering 350 or more selections, these restaurants are destinations for serious wine lovers, showing a deep commitment to wine, both in the cellar and through their service team.
Celebrity sails with a trained sommelier in every restaurant, to help guide guests through the more than 500 wine selections on board – spanning the world’s most sought-after regions and most acclaimed labels, plus a wide selection from Celebrity’s own private labels.
Guests looking to expand their palate and expertise can book workshops and tastings that explore how food and wine interact, and World Wine Tours to sample different wines from across the globe and learn about regional and varietal technicalities.
