Celebrity Cruises ships from newest to oldest — a complete list

What's the newest Celebrity Cruises ship? If you're thinking about booking a trip with Celebrity, it's a good thing to find out.

The newest Celebrity ship is typically also the Celebrity ship with the most bells and whistles and the most up-to-date venues, including cabins, restaurants, bars and attractions. It's what you want if you desire the very latest and greatest in a vessel for your Celebrity Cruises vacation.

Right now, the newest Celebrity cruise ship is Celebrity Ascent . It just debuted in December 2023.

Although Celebrity Ascent isn't even a year old, it'll soon be supplanted as the newest Celebrity Cruises vessel by Celebrity Xcel — a very similar vessel in the same Edge Class series of ships as Celebrity Ascent. Celebrity Xcel is scheduled to begin sailing in November 2025.

Other relatively new Celebrity cruise ships include Celebrity Beyond , Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Flora and Celebrity Edge. All began sailing in the last six years.

In all, Celebrity Cruises operates 16 vessels. On average, the line comes out with a new ship every two years, and it typically keeps vessels in its fleet for around 20 to 30 years before retiring them from the fleet. The oldest Celebrity ship, Celebrity Millennium, is 24 years old.

In general, Celebrity's newest ships are bigger and packed with more venues than its older ships. If you are looking for Celebrity ships with the most restaurants, bars, lounges and other amenities, you'll want to stick to vessels built in the last few years.

That said, the above is a generalization that comes with an asterisk. One of Celebrity's newest ships, Celebrity Flora, is also one of its smallest ships.

With room for just 100 passengers, Celebrity Flora is one of three very small vessels in the Celebrity fleet that operate year-round tours in the Galapagos. It's essentially an entirely different business for Celebrity than the mainstream, big-ship cruising that is at the core of the company.

Celebrity is, in a sense, two cruise lines in one: a big-ship brand with 13 vessels that carry 2,000 to 3,000 passengers and sail around the world and a Galapagos cruise tour operator with three tiny vessels that carry just 16 to 100 people. We include all of the vessels in this guide.

Note that Celebrity's two smallest Galapagos vessels will leave its fleet in 2025 as it downsizes its Galapagos operation.

What is the newest Celebrity Cruises ship?

The newest Celebrity cruise ship is Celebrity Ascent. As noted above, it debuted in December 2023. Measuring 141,420 gross tons, it's also the biggest cruise ship in the Celebrity fleet (tied with the slightly older, 141,420-ton Celebrity Beyond).

What is the oldest Celebrity Cruises ship?

The oldest Celebrity cruise ship is Celebrity Millennium. It was unveiled in 2000, right at the turn of the millennium (hence its name). Celebrity Millennium was the first of four Millennium Class vessels to debut in the early 2000s that currently are the oldest vessels in the line's big-ship fleet.

What new Celebrity Cruises ships are coming?

Celebrity Cruises currently has one new cruise ship on order: the 3,260-passenger Celebrity Xcel. It's currently scheduled to debut in November 2025.

Measuring 141,420 tons, Celebrity Xcel will be the fifth ship in Celebrity's Edge Class series of vessels that began debuting in 2018. The first four ships in the series are Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Ascent.

The Edge Class vessels are being built at the giant Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.

What is the newest Celebrity Cruises ship available for booking?

Celebrity Xcel is the newest Celebrity Cruises ship that you can book right now. While Celebrity Xcel isn't yet sailing, its initial sailings scheduled for November 2025 are already on sale, as are future sailings through April 2026.

Celebrity Xcel is scheduled to spend its first winter sailing to the Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades .

What is the newest class of Celebrity Cruises ships?

The Edge Class is the newest class of Celebrity Cruises ships. Currently in the midst of rolling out, it'll be made up of at least five vessels.

The first Edge Class vessel, Celebrity Edge, debuted in 2018. Three more ships in the series — Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Ascent — began sailing in 2020, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

The last ship in the series currently on order, Celebrity Xcel, is due in November 2025.

The Edge Class vessels aren't just the newest ships in the Celebrity fleet but are also the most advanced vessels in the Celebrity fleet. Designed to carry 2,908 to 3,260 passengers apiece at double occupancy, they each have such innovative new features as Infinite Veranda cabins with outward-facing walls that are entirely made of glass.

Another innovative feature of the Edge Class ships is the 90-ton platform along the side of each of the vessels called the Magic Carpet. As big as a tennis court, the platforms are cantilevered over the side of the vessels and can be raised and lowered to serve different functions — from a waterside bar to a water shuttle boarding area.

What's the difference between newer and older Celebrity Cruises ships?

Newer Celebrity Cruises ships generally are bigger than older Celebrity ships — in some cases, by as much as 35% bigger. As a result, they have room for more onboard venues and attractions than the line's older vessels.

On Celebrity's newest and biggest Edge Class vessels, Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Beyond, for instance, you'll find expanded resort-within-a-resort areas for suite passengers called The Retreat that aren't on the smaller vessels in the Edge Class series or on other older ships in the Celebrity fleet. These suite areas offer two-story sundecks with hot tubs, lounge chairs and private cabanas that are open exclusively to passengers staying in suites.

Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Beyond also have 179 more cabins than their sister vessels in the Edge Class series, each of which has 1,467 cabins. As a result, they hold 3,260 passengers at double occupancy. That's up from a 2,910-passenger capacity at double occupancy for Celebrity Apex and a 2,908-passenger capacity at double occupancy for Celebrity Edge.

Celebrity's oldest Millennium Class ships, by contrast, only carry about 2,100 passengers at double occupancy. As a result, they have a more intimate feel, at least in the pantheon of relatively big, mass-market ships.

That makes them a good choice for someone who wants to try Celebrity but isn't eager to travel with big crowds. The oldest ships in the Celebrity fleet thus appeal to a subset of Celebrity fans who prefer more intimacy in a cruise vessel and don't mind giving up some onboard amenities to get it. They are also often less expensive per day to sail on.

Celebrity's three very small Galapagos-based vessels have the most intimate feel of all. They are like tiny boutique hotels that float.

Note that all Celebrity ships are renovated and upgraded on a regular schedule every few years, so even the oldest Celebrity cruise vessels have newer carpeting, updated furniture, modern decor in cabins and other updates. In many cases, they also have had entire eateries and bars renovated over the years with concepts that first debuted on newer vessels.

Paris hilton defends not putting life jacket on 1-year-old son phoenix while out at sea: ‘it’s a big boat’.

Paris Hilton hit back at mom-shamers who criticized her for allowing her 1-year-old son, Phoenix, to walk around on a boat without wearing a life jacket.

The “This Is Paris” star, 43, posted a sweet TikTok video Wednesday of her and husband Carter Reum ‘s little boy waddling around aboard a luxury Sunreef catamaran during the family’s summer vacation.

“Watching Phoenix explore the world has been so special to me! I am so grateful to be a #SlivingMom,” Hilton captioned the clip, which she set to Ed Sheeran’s 2014 hit “Photograph.”

While several fans flooded the comments section with supportive messages for the mom of two, who also shares 9-month-old daughter London with Reum, concerned netizens offered up some unsolicited advice.

“Momma, please have him wear a life jacket always on a boat!! Stuff happens. That’s why they’re called accidents. With love,” a social media user commented on the post.

“we are all here for the life vest advice right? Beautiful boat, beautiful life, still safer with the jacket,” a second person wrote.

“Please from one mom to another.. life jacket!” a third commented, with another adding, “My anxiety not seeing him in a life jacket! Can never be too safe on the water!”

Hilton replied to the trolls by explaining that the luxury vessel was very big and her son was nowhere near any danger.

“Hey Mamma’s [sic], thank you for the advice & always caring about my #CutesieCrew,” she wrote in the comments section of her post. “It’s a big boat & my husband and I are following him around everywhere & watching like hawks. My babies are my world.”

Phoenix on a catamaran in Paris Hilton's TikTok video shared on Aug. 28, 2024.

Several fans backed up Hilton’s assertion that her son was safe due to the size of the fancy catamaran.

“Guys this boat is way bigger than it seems in this video. A life jacket would be silly, and worst case scenario, they taught him to swim,” a social media user wrote.

“You do you xx pheonix is having a ball xx and 100% safe,” another supporter cheered.

“You are an amazing mama!! Your #cutsiecrew is lucky to have you in their corner,” one person gushed.

Sunreef Yachts is known for its opulent ships and grand boats that feature stylish designs and modern finishes for the wealthy.

While it is unclear which model Hilton and her family used, the company’s website describes its catamarans as being “constructed for enjoying yearlong transoceanic adventures in the deep blue sea.”

The site boasts that each electric vessel is “ultra-silent, vibration-free and fumeless” as well as “easily maneuverable [and] energy efficient … with immense living spaces for dining and lounging.”

The “Cooking with Paris” host and Reum, who tied the knot in November 2021, welcomed Phoenix and London via surrogate on Jan. 16, 2023, and Nov. 11, 2023 , respectively.

This isn’t the first time Hilton has sparked safety concerns for her kids. She was slammed for the way she positioned her kids’s car seats this past May, prompting her to admit that “no one is perfect.”

That same month, the “Stars Are Blind” singer was called out for allowing her son to swim in the water while wearing his life jacket backward and subsequently thanked her followers for informing her of her mistake .

25 Most Influential Creators of 2024

By Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone

When we decided that our second annual Most Influential Creators list would be ranked, we had to grapple with a highly subjective question: What does it mean to have influence? It’s not just about who’s getting sponsorships. It’s about having people look up to you — follow and comment on your posts, engage with and share your content, and truly care what you have to say, for better or for worse. To pick our list, the  Rolling Stone  staff debated; asked creators across the spectrum from fashion to comedy, food, and travel, to nominate their favorites; and reviewed data from CreatorIQ, an enterprise influencer marketing platform that tracks the hard numbers.

After going through more than 500 individual nominees — evaluating them based on engagement rate, growth, peer interaction, follower count, and our own gut feelings about each one — we present 2024’s Most Influential Creators.

Editor’s note: Platforms listed are for the creator’s primary page, and numbers are for those accounts, not their cumulative followers.

Mandy Lee

Handle: @oldloserinbrooklyn Platform: TikTok Followers: 530,600

When 30-year-old Mandy Lee asked people to try not buying any clothes for the first three months of 2024, her #75hardstyle trend went from a local Brooklyn challenge to a wide-ranging exercise in sustainability — raking in 30,000 participants and millions of views. Lee is committed to getting buyers to be thoughtful about every purchase, bringing that perspective to collaborations with Proenza Schouler and Tory Burch. “When people know their style, they inherently waste less,” she says.

She’s also the originator of “Aliyahcore,” her take on Y2K harajuku — complete with massive fur boots, colorful fishnets, and fuzzy headphones — which turned into a highly re-created fashion aesthetic. “I create content for people who don’t feel accepted within their own lives, who are outcasts within their communities,” she says. -CT Jones

Monet McMichael

Monet McMichael

Monet McMichael was at Rutgers University when her chatty GRWMs turned her into everyone’s “internet bestie.” This year, the 24-year-old dropped a fragrance, appeared on the Oscars red carpet, and partnered with brands like Garnier.

RDCWorld1 collective

Handle: @RDCworld1 Platform: YouTube Subscribers: 7 million

Anime and the NBA might not seem like obvious bedfellows, but for the Texas-based collective RDCWorld1 — short for Real Dreams Change the World — that pairing (along with comedy, football, rap, and a slew of other interests) has led to a massive fan base that includes J. Cole and LeBron James. Though the channel launched as a way to promote their manga show, The Resistance, it was when they started posting basketball-themed skits that the NBA community took notice — and their careers took off.  -Elisabeth Garber-Paul

Toni Bravo

Handle: @bonitravo Platform: TikTok Followers: 582,000

L.A.-based beauty creator Toni Bravo, 24, can still remember not being able to find foundation that matched her dark complexion.

Bravo is now one of the fastest-growing beauty voices on TikTok — proving that developing makeup for everyone is good for brands’ images, and bottom lines. -CTJ

Hasan Piker

Hasan Piker

Handle: @HasanAbi Platform: Twitch Followers: 2.7 million

Hasan Piker, 33, has gained legions of fans from his multi-hour streams — expletive-laced, sometimes-controversial breakdowns of current political events (“satirical” comments he made about Rep. Dan Crenshaw managed to piss off both sides) — and won him collabs with everyone from AOC to Valkyrae. “I’ve always been of the mindset that if a person online is showing positive values, then that’s a pretty positive way of trying to get others to copy that behavior,” he says. “That’s what I try to do.”  -EGP

Jake Shane

Handle: @octopusslover8 Platform: TikTok Followers: 3.1 million

Until early 2023, Jake Shane, 24, used his account, Octopusslover8, to post reviews of octopus dishes. But when he started doing historical improv — Noah (of ark fame) as a club bouncer, the Boston Tea Party, now with matcha — he hit 1 million followers, and was thrown into a reality where he did Pilates with Glen Powell and hung backstage with Reneé Rapp. His best quality, though, remains his self-deprecating comedy, which he’s translated into a hit podcast, Therapuss With Jake Shane . -CTJ

Druski

Handle: @druski Platform: Instagram Followers: 8 million

Not long after Drew Desbordes, a.k.a. Druski, 29, began posting comedy sketches, he opened for Jack Harlow and appeared in music videos like Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later.” But it was the Instagram sketch series Coulda Been Records, where he played a label head searching for the next biggest star, drawing in musicians like Chance the Rapper and Ice Spice, that blew him up. This fall, he’s launching Coulda Fest in Atlanta, where he will co-host comedians and rappers alongside DJ Fresh. -SC

Plastique Tiara

Handle: @plastique_tiara Platform: TikTok Subscribers: 11.6 million

She ushered in a new class of “social media queens” inspired by her style of internet-first content. -TM

Anthony Fantano

Anthony Fantano

Handle: @theneedledrop Platform: YouTube Subscribers: 2.9 million

Known to fans as “the internet’s busiest music nerd,” critic Anthony Fantano’s channel started as a show for a local public-radio affiliate. Fantano, 38, decided to move the show onto YouTube after seeing the burgeoning community on the platform, in contrast to the “fake, boring personalities” on TV. His reviews for albums like Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly and Tyler, the Creator’s IGOR rake in millions of views, inspire internet discourse, and draw reactions from the artists themselves. -SC

Theo Von

Handle: @theovon Platform: TikTok Followers: 6.7 million

Theo Von’s wide-reaching viewership speaks to his comedic authority, but the self-declared “white trash” creator, 44, has also become a staple in the TikTok entertainment space for his explosive celebrity interviews.

Keith Lee

Handle: @keith_lee125 Platform: TikTok Followers: 16.5 million

TikTok’s preeminent food critic Keith Lee has boosted businesses and spurred crowds of followers to visit places he recommends. Largely focusing on local and Black-owned businesses, the former MMA fighter, 27, is nothing if not modest — “I’m not famous, I’m just popular,” he told Rolling Stone earlier this year — but his content shows just how much impact social media can have on the corporeal world: The way customers flow in after his recommendations is dubbed “the Keith Lee Effect.”  -SC

Alix Earle

Handle: @alixearle Platform: TikTok Followers 7.1 million

TikToker Alix Earle first went viral for detailing her experience with relatable topics like acne, breakups, and mental illness. Since then, Earle, 23, has continued to drive conversations with raw glimpses of her life, including showing an infamous “puke dress” during a closet clean-out. She is the cover star of Sports Illustrated’ s first digital issue and landed a spot in the Kid LAROI’s “Girls” video. “One of the biggest compliments I receive is when girls tell me they feel like they’re my best friend,” she says.  -SC

Pokimane

Handle: @pokimane Platform: YouTube Subscribers: 6.6 million

The 28-year-old Imane Anys, better known as Pokimane, rose to prominence for her League of Legends and Fortnite play, but has since built a devoted fandom through her charismatic vlogs encompassing food and fashion.

Alan Chikin Chow

Alan Chikin Chow

Handle: @AlanChikinChow Platform: YouTube Subscribers: 53.6 million

Maybe you recognize him from his cameo in the Mean Girls musical,or his high school comedy YouTube show, Alan’s Universe, or his guest turn on Grey’s Anatomy — whatever the case, you’ve almost certainly run across Alan Chikin Chow, one of the most-watched YouTube Shorts creators. Chow, 27, who recently signed with CAA, built his following through his family-friendly, oversaturated videos, drawing more viewers to his serial sketches than opening weekends for films like Dune: Part Two. -SC

Duke Dennis

Duke Dennis

Handle: @dukedennis Platform: TikTok Followers: 5.5 million

Playing NBA 2K during his downtime in the Army, Duke Dennis didn’t realize it could be a career — but soon, the future mega creator found he could make money posting clips on YouTube. Now, Dennis, 30, has his biggest following on TikTok, where his charm with the ladies has made him an almost mythic figure for teenage boys. He still has millions of subscribers on YouTube, though, where he posts videos of IRL street games in New York and hanging out behind the scenes at the Super Bowl.  -EGP

Nara Smith

Handle: @naraazizasmith Platform: TikTok Followers: 9 million

In just a year, Nara Smith, 22, has gained millions of followers posting TikToks of her making store- bought goods from scratch. While she’s earned a devoted fan base, there has been discourse around her husband’s Mormon faith and their children’s names (Rumble Honey, Slim Easy, Whimsy Lou), as well as accusations of copying smaller creators. Her lilting voice-overs, picturesque kitchen, and glam wardrobe have been meme’d and dissected, but she seems to be only leaning in. -SC

MrBeast

Handle: @MrBeast Platform: YouTube Subscribers: 308 million

Whether he’s giving away houses, sponsoring surgeries, or making YouTubers fight one another for money, stunt creator Jimmy Donaldson — known online as MrBeast — continues to make his mark on internet history. In July, the 26-year-old became the first creator to cross 300 million subscribers, making his the most-subscribed channel. He’s also inspired an entire genre of “philanthropic content,” reality-television-style videos centered around giving people large amounts of money and filming their reactions. People debate the ethics and authenticity of his high-production charitable feats, his all-encompassing platform, the impact he’s had on his North Carolina hometown, and the working conditions on his shoots, which are currently under scrutiny — but he intends to keep putting philanthropy first. “People get mad and say I shouldn’t be doing this and governments should,” he tweeted amid backlash over a recent stunt video. “Ideally, a YouTuber isn’t the one fixing these issues, but I’m not just gonna stand by and do nothing.” -SC

Rhett and Link

Rhett and Link

Handle: @GoodMythicalMorning Platform: YouTube Subscribers: 18.7 million

Before they were the hosts of the Webby Award-winning YouTube talk show Good Mythical Morning — known for its wacky game-show segments revolving around food taste tests, science experiments, and celeb guest stars — Rhett McLaughlin and Charles Lincoln Neal III, both 46, were best friends and class clowns in elementary school. “We’re desperately holding on to the silliness that brought us together in first grade, trying to prove that friends who laugh together, stay together,” they tell Rolling Stone. In the past 18 years, they’ve transformed from those giggly schoolboys to titans of the creator industry, with more than 30 million subscribers spread across seven channels and a constantly growing production company, Mythical. The comedy duo, or “internetainers,” as they like to call themselves, are betting big on their absurdist version of online comedy, producing a dominating slate of podcasts, variety shows, and live events — hand-rearing the next slate of internet personalities. -CTJ

Kai Cenat

Handle: @KaiCenat Platform: Twitch Subscribers: 12.7 million

Kai Cenat, 22, has continued to flex his influence since he started on Twitch in 2021 — tracking millions of views, popularizing terms like “rizz” and “gyatt,” and hosting stars such as Tyla, 21 Savage, and Kevin Hart on his channel, where he splices his witty, chatty conversations amid hours of streamed video games. While he currently has the most subscribers of any influencer on Twitch, he has a massive draw IRL, too, making headlines last year after he told his followers to come to Union Square in Manhattan for free PlayStation 5 consoles, prompting thousands of people to flood the park, resulting in several injuries. (He was charged with inciting a riot, but the charges were dropped after he apologized and paid for the damage.) Some accuse him of peddling misogynistic and homophobic humor for his core audience of teenage boys — but his pull is undeniable. “I can’t get comfortable,” he told Complex of his incredible following. “But it feels good right now while I’m in the moment.” -SC

PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - The captain of the luxury yacht owned by the family of British tech magnate Mike Lynch that sank off Sicily last week declined to respond to prosecutors during questioning on Tuesday, one of his lawyers said.

James Cutfield, a 51-year old New Zealand national, was put under investigation on Monday by Italian prosecutors.

"The captain exercised his right to remain silent for two fundamental reasons," lawyer Giovanni Rizzuti told reporters.

"First, he's very worn out. Second, we were appointed only on Monday and for a thorough and correct defence case we need to acquire a set of data that at the moment we don't have."

Lynch and six other people were killed when the British-flagged Bayesian, a 56-metre-long (184-foot) yacht, capsized and sank on Aug. 19 within minutes of being hit by a pre-dawn storm while anchored off northern Sicily.

Being placed under investigation in Italy does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will necessarily follow. It is still unclear whether other crew members or other people will also be placed under investigation.

Prosecutors said their investigation would take time, and would require the wreck to be salvaged from the sea. The Bayesian is currently lying on its right side, at a depth of around 50 metres.

The coastguard is conducting activities to monitor the environmental conditions in the area where the yacht sank, it said in a statement on Tuesday.

"At the moment we don't register any leaks from tanks and there are no traces of oil pollution," it said.

By Adrian Prisca

Updated on May 20, 2023

Celebrity Yachts

The rich and famous certainly have a different lifestyle from us regular folks, but we love to see how extravagantly they live. Once they make it to a certain status, owning a yacht is like second-nature, or a rite of passage.

Some of the glamorous amenities onboard those yachts are unheard of, but having all that money can buy pretty much whatever their heart desires.

A love for the sea is what all those celebrities have in common, plus a need to escape constant snapshots from paparazzis. On their own private yachts, they get to relax and be themselves, also spending some quality time with their friends and family.

Have you ever dreamt about sailing on a luxury yacht? Most likely, we all did at some point. And since we like to delve a little deeper into our favorite celebrities’ lives, we thought a good way is by making a list of the luxurious yachts they own.

It has become customary to see celebrities playing with their big, expensive toys, from cars, to motorcycles, air planes and yes, super yachts.

29 Most Expensive Celebrity Yachts, Ranked by Value

David and Victoria Beckham Yacht

Celebrities consistently create demand in the private yacht market. If a celebrity’s net worth is in the high millions or more, they can certainly afford to indulge in luxury superyachts, which can cost well into seven figures or more and have six- to seven-figure annual operating costs.

The main reason that celebrities like yachting is that they can enjoy intimate, low-key trips with friends and family, out of reach of paparazzi cameras. Tiger Woods enjoys personal time aboard his yacht so much that he named the ship Privacy and even sleeps on board when he travels to golf tournaments.

Even if celebrities don’t own a yacht, they may charter them, as Rihanna and Beyonce do, for quiet time away from the spotlight. After traveling on a friend’s yacht, or chartering one, a celebrity may decide to take the plunge and buy one themselves. That’s what happened to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling after she chartered actor Johnny Depp’s yacht. The Beckhams decided to get their own vessel after spending summers on the Mediterranean with their good friend Sir Elton John on his yacht Wabi Sabi. Some celebrities, such as Apple founder Steve Jobs, singer Billy Joel or fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, were involved in every step of creating their own customized yacht. 

So, which celebrity yachts are the most expensive and extravagant? We made a list of the top ones — some of which have been sold in recent years, possibly due to their high operating costs, but will always be identified with their iconic celebrity owners. We then ranked the yachts by their current value, adjusted for inflation.

10 Of The Most Expensive Celebrity Yachts, Ranked

aerial shot of luxury yacht in turquoise water

There's nothing that says luxury and wealth like owning a boat. Visit any marina worldwide, and the presence of wealth is evident, regardless of the boat's size. This isn't just about the initial price of acquiring a boat. Beyond the purchase, the real investment comes in the form of maintenance. Boats, especially those frequently exposed to saltwater, demand consistent care and attention. Add to that the costs of a crew if you're not piloting the boat yourself.

However, the height of maritime luxury isn't just owning a boat — it's owning a yacht. And beyond that, the elite realm of superyachts. These nautical marvels are not just expensive to buy; they have a continuum of costs. Their construction involves multi-million dollar investments. Over the years, maintaining them, staffing them, and ensuring their prime condition can add millions more to their total upkeep. When a superyacht drops anchor at a harbor, it's a clear indicator of the arrival of someone with substantial wealth and fame.

Let's dive into the world of the 10 most expensive celebrity yachts, ranking them from the least impressive to the absolute best.

10. Eclipse

superyacht Eclipse anchored off Ibiza

Number 10 on our list is a behemoth in the world of yachts: The Eclipse. This colossal vessel is one of the largest, most opulent, and priciest yachts globally. And it comes with some impressive stats: a weight of 13,000 tons, a submersible, three individual landing crafts, and dual helicopter pads. It stretches 533 feet from its bow to its stern.

Designed for maximum comfort, the Eclipse can accommodate 24 guests, supported by a crew of 70. Onboard luxuries include fine dining options, a selection of pools, spa facilities, and even a grand ballroom.

The Eclipse is in the upper echelons of extravagance, within the domain of only the ultra-wealthy. The estimated investment for its construction, subsequent maintenance, and refits top a staggering $1.5 billion. Its current owner is none other than the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.

As a billionaire's billion-dollar toy, it might be surprising to see it ranked last on the list. The reason is simple. The Eclipse cannot sail due to geopolitical reasons. Following the invasion of Ukraine, Russia faced significant backlash on the global stage, and owning a vessel as a prominent Russian billionaire brings its own set of challenges.

While the yacht hasn't been seized, securing clearance for it to berth at international ports has become an uphill task. This begs the question: What's the value of a yacht that's anchored indefinitely? At present, the Eclipse is "mothballed," a term signifying its long-term storage to shield it from environmental elements and render it dormant.

9. Lady Moura

Lady Moura anchored in the Gulf of Cannes

Since her launch in 1990, the Lady Moura is a vintage gem that has gracefully weathered the test of time, retaining her status as one of the most lavish private yachts afloat. At the time of her debut, she held the rank of ninth largest private yacht globally. As years passed and the elite built bigger and better yachts, the rank slipped to the 48th position. However, age hasn't made Lady Moura worse for wear; strategic refits in 2007 and again in 2017 have ensured she remains contemporary and sophisticated.

Fitted with 13 beautiful cabins, the Lady Moura accommodates 27 guests and a crew of up to 72. The ship offers an array of entertainment options, from a designated compartment for wake surfing, plush lounges, chic bars, and rejuvenating jacuzzis to a dance floor, a state-of-the-art movie theater, and a helipad. The standout feature of this particular yacht is the retractable platform, which can be layered with sand, allowing guests to enjoy a beach-like atmosphere while out at sea.

Currently, the Lady Moura is owned by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego. He purchased the Lady Moura in 2021 from Nasser Ibrahim Al-Rashid of Saudi Arabia for approximately $125 million.

8. Rising Sun

The Rising Sun is another of the superyachts of the world that's famous or infamous, depending upon your point of view. Built by the esteemed Lürssen shipyards, this 454-foot-long beauty was initially commissioned for Larry Ellison. The former CEO of Oracle not only enjoyed the yacht during his leisure time but also leased it to A-list celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah, to name a few. In 2010, the yacht transitioned to its current owner, David Geffen.

After acquiring the Rising Sun, Geffen initiated an extensive refit, expanding its already high capacity to 82 guest rooms. The yacht's facilities are nothing short of extravagant: a state-of-the-art gym, a gorgeous wine cellar, swanky bars, and multiple lounges and sun decks.

However, the Rising Sun's reputation isn't solely linked to luxury. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it unwittingly became the focal point of criticism. As the world grappled with the virus and its economic fallout, David Geffen's social media post ruffled feathers. From the deck of his $200 million yacht, anchored off the Grenadines' coast in the Caribbean, he posted a picture with the caption, "Sunset last night...isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus. I'm hoping everybody is staying safe." Though the sentiment might have been well-intentioned, many perceived it as tone-deaf, considering the stark contrast between his isolation and the hardships faced by many at that time.

Octopus yacht anchored in Malaga, Spain

The grandeur of the Octopus yacht is evident in its design and the luxuries it houses. Owned by billionaire Roger Samuelsson, known for his ventures in medical equipment, the Octopus measures an impressive 413 feet from bow to stern.

Among its lavish amenities, it includes a full cinema, multiple lounges and bars, a gym, a basketball court, and observation decks. Notably, the yacht also features two submersibles, one of which was used by Google for their underwater mapping initiative, the "Explore the Earth" project.

Operating the Octopus comes at a steep price, reportedly nearing $400,000 a week. This expense covers the 60 full-time staff who can effectively manage the vessel and cater to its maximum occupancy of 26 guests.

The yacht's history traces back to 2003 when it was commissioned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Built by Lürssen Shipyards for $200 million, it underwent a refit after Allen's passing before being acquired by Samuelsson for an estimated $300 million.

Radiant yacht in Monte-Carlo Bay

The Radiant hits the middle of the pack when it comes to super yachts, but that doesn't mean it's mediocre by any means. With a staggering cost of $300 million, it was masterfully constructed by the renowned Lürssen shipyards in Germany.

Much of the Radiant's interior remains a mystery, a well-kept secret for those lucky enough to charter or own it, though it's reputed for its lavish contemporary design. What's publicly known, however, is its vast array of amenities. The Radiant has multiple sun decks, a massage room, a jacuzzi, a gym, and a movie theater. The Radiant is managed by a crew of 40 staff members to see to the needs of guests aboard and to keep the shipboard systems running.

The Radiant's current owner is billionaire Abdulla Al Futtaim. There was some legal trouble when he first purchased the vessel. The broker who helped create the deal for the ship was never paid and had to go to court to get his commission. Eventually, the court ruled in the broker's favor, and Abdulla Al Futtaim had to pay the commission fee.

Today, the Radiant, with its impressive 5,000-ton stature, remains primarily for the personal use of its owner, though it has occasionally been available for charter in the past.

5. Motor Yacht A

Motor Yacht A anchored in Venice, Italy

Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko owns both Motor Yacht A and the more notable Sailing Yacht A. Unlike the Eclipse, Sailing Yacht A isn't currently operational because it has been seized due to sanctions against Russia. In contrast, Motor Yacht A remains anchored in the neutral waters of UAE ports.

Though its name might sound mundane, Motor Yacht A stands out in the yachting world. It was built by the German shipyard Blohm+Voss. Its most unique feature is its striking design created by architect Philippe Starck. Its outer appearance creates a knife-edge-like effect that looks as though the yacht is cutting through the water, making it one of the most unique designs in the superyacht market.

Its unique shape isn't simply aesthetic. Its hull design allows for its impressive speed of 23 knots and better handling. Despite the slimmer profile, the interior is still large and lavishly decorated. Most surfaces are covered in mirrors or Baccarat crystal. Some walls can also be reconfigured to allow for expanded staterooms. To keep guests entertained, there is a helipad for excursions, several lounges, a fully equipped dance floor, and two pools. One pool actually has a glass floor that looks directly over the dance floor.

Motor Yacht A cost $300 million to build and is, to this day, one of the most unique yachts on the water. Even its name is unique simply being "A", named so that it would appear first on any ship registry.

Dubai yacht in Dubai, UAE

The luxury superyacht Dubai, valued at $400 million, is owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the current ruler of Dubai.

This yacht has an intriguing backstory. Initially, the project was commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei. However, financial constraints led him to halt the construction, leaving only the steel frame in place. The project was then taken over by Sheikh Mohammed, who had a clear vision for the yacht — to create a floating representation of the Burj Al Arab, Dubai's iconic luxury hotel and the self-proclaimed world's only seven-star hotel.

Upon completion, Dubai held the title of the world's largest luxury yacht from 2006 to 2009. Its design features eight distinct decks, each tailored for specific guests and functions. There are standard rooms, VIP suites, dedicated spaces for staff and security, and the top two decks exclusively reserved for the owner, complete with direct access to the helipad.

Capable of accommodating around 80 guests, the yacht boasts a grand dining area that can seat 90 individuals simultaneously. To ensure a luxurious experience for its occupants, Dubai is equipped with several amenities, including a submersible, multiple swimming pools, spa services, a fully-equipped gym, and numerous lounges scattered throughout.

3. A+ (formerly the Topaz)

A+ (Topaz) yacht anchored in Saudi Arabia

The A+ superyacht is one of the world's pinnacle luxury yachts, although it has been surpassed in the rankings by newer and larger vessels in recent times. Built by Lürssen shipyards in Germany, its extensive customization sets it apart from any other yacht sailing the oceans. With a remarkable length of 482 feet and a displacement of 900 tons, this impressive vessel initially sailed under the name "Topaz." It was the pride of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a billionaire and a significant figure in Abu Dhabi's royal family.

It remained an enigmatic gem for years among the yachting community as a secret of the elite. However, it was chartered by Leonardo DiCaprio during the 2014 FIFA World Cup and afterward became synonymous with luxury.

The interior is massive and more akin to a luxury resort than a sailing vessel. It's equipped with a spa, a fully equipped gym, multiple pools, and large open relaxation areas. A distinctive glass elevator connecting the various decks spans the yacht's entire height.

The name was changed from the Topaz to the A+ in 2019. Typically, this only occurs when ownership changes, but it's still registered under Sheikh Mansour's name. However, it's rumored that it was gifted to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.

The original cost of the A+ was $450 million — it held the top three spot for most expensive superyachts for several years before eventually being knocked down. It is now rumored that Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is currently in talks to have an even bigger version built.

2. Koru (Y721)

When engines and motorized yachts first hit the market, they were the height of luxury. Now billionaire Jeff Bezos is gaining recognition for sustainability and luxury with a massive $500 million masted superyacht, proving that time is not linear but, in fact, a flat circle.

This state-of-the-art sailing yacht went by the name Y721 during its construction phase. As it approached completion, it received its official name: Koru . After undergoing and completing rigorous sea trials, the Koru has been handed over to Jeff Bezos, marking its debut as one of the freshest superyachts navigating the seven seas.

Designed as a highly specialized schooner equipped with three masts, the Koru was crafted by the renowned Dutch shipbuilders Oceanco at a cost nearing $500 million. Its maiden sea trials were not without controversy. Due to their height, the vessel's sails couldn't even pass beneath a historic bridge in Rotterdam. Bezos proposed a solution where he'd fund the dismantling and subsequent reconstruction of the bridge to let his new yacht pass. However, faced with resistance from the locals, the masts were simply attached after sailing outside the harbor.

The Koru combines an old-world sailing aesthetic with the cutting-edge technology of today. At first glance, it looks like an iconic sailing vessel headed for the new world, but the longer you look at it, the more technology and luxury amenities you'll spot. Inside the skin of the ship, it's reported to have an entire spa dedicated to guests, gyms, pools, world-class fine dining, and an integration of technology and luxury amenities.

Azzam yacht in port of Vigo

The Azzam ranks at the pinnacle of luxury yachts. It stands out in its class as one of the world's largest, most opulent, and swiftest superyachts. Commissioned by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the UAE royal family, its construction costs amounted to $600 million, and impressively, it was completed in just three years.

The Azzam itself is the height of luxury. It can hold 36 passengers comfortably with a support crew of 60. While aboard the Azzam, guests can enjoy a full gym, swimming pools, a full golf simulator, and numerous places to lounge and relax. The main sitting area is 95 feet long and was built without central support structures, so the entire area is open. It even includes a chandelier designed not to rattle at sea. In addition, the Assam has two helipads and a submersible for adventurous excursions.

Beyond luxury, the Azzam also prioritizes security. The owner's suite is fortified with bulletproof materials, ensuring utmost safety. The yacht is further equipped with a missile defense system and has a contingent of armed security personnel onboard.

Following the passing of its former owner, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in 2022, the yacht underwent a change in ownership. The current owner's identity remains undisclosed, but it's widely believed that the Azzam continues to be held by the UAE royal family.

In place of high-tech security systems and dual helipads, Cyan boasts an intimate atmosphere perfect for creating cherished family memories. Perhaps that’s why The Edge has opened Cyan for charters.

Celebrity superyachts: top three worth $1.29bn

The top three celebrity superyachts have a combined value of $1.29bn, according to new research from yacht charter firm Ritzy Charters. Leading the fleet in terms of value was billionaire media mogul David Geffen’s yacht The Rising Sun , reportedly costing $590m.

The research ranked the top 10 celebrity-owned yachts and their price tags. The second most expense celebrity yacht, with a reported price tag of $500m, was Koru , owned by American business magnate and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Completing the top three in the list of most expensive celebrity yachts was Eos, reportedly valued at $200m, owned by Belgian fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, Barry Diller. Read the full list of top celebrity yacht values below.

Geffen’s 138m (453ft) The Rising Sun cost about $200m to build in 2004.

Geffen bought the vessel, which is capable of 30 knots, in 2010. Equipped with 82 rooms, the yacht is designed to accommodate about 18 guests and 55 crew members. Amenities include a basketball court, wine cellar and an onboard cinema.

The second most expensive celebrity yacht, Bezos’s 127m ( 417ft) Koru , also known as Y721 , is said to be the world’s largest sailing yacht. Featuring a swimming pool, the yacht can accommodate up to 18 guests and 40 crew members. The boat’s design is said to be inspired by Māori art, with its name Koru symbolising strength, new life and peace.

The third most expensive yacht, the 93m (305ft) Eos, was reportedly bought by its current owners in 2009 for $200m. Capable of a top speed of 18mph, the vessel can accommodate up to 14 guests. Novel features include a glass staircase, a 14ft world map, a jacuzzi and a figurehead of owner von Furstenberg.

A spokesperson for Ritzy Charters said: “Luxury yachts are more than just a symbol of wealth; they not only provide incredibly gorgeous views but a level of privacy to those onboard who want a sense of relaxation that you can’t get from anywhere other than chartering across oceans.”

Owning a superyacht offers a sense of seclusion far away from paparazzi and the public eye, added the spokesperson. “Privacy is a huge part of the experience of a superyacht, which is why celebrities are drawn to spending large sums of money on owning their own.”

Meanwhile, the fourth most expensive celebrity yacht was the $120m Venus, owned by Laurene Powell, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Designed by Phillippe Stark, the vessel is equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows across its 78m (256ft) length and can reach a top speed of 18 knots. The superyacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins and 22 crew members in 14 cabins. The yacht’s annual running cost is estimated at between $10-$15m.

The fifth most expensive celebrity-owned yacht is the 54m (177ft) The Maraya , owned by American rapper, record producer, record executive and actor Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Costing about $65m in 2012, the vessel can accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins. Her features include a sundeck jacuzzi, gym and wellness area, not to mention its very own chef. The superyacht can be chartered for about $300,000 per week.

9 Stars Who Own Ultraluxurious Yachts

top 10 celebrity yachts

Luxury doesn’t stop once you leave the land, or even at private jets. Behold the celebrity yacht, something the most opulent individuals keep on hand so they can extravagantly take to the seas at a moment’s notice. Some, like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck or Kylie Jenner , merely charter yachts for a few weeks a year, but others, with a true commitment to the nautical lifestyle, pony up the millions it costs to buy and maintain a massive boat year after year. Below, we detail some of the best and biggest celebrity yachts (and the parties that take place aboard!).

Giorgio Armani

“I want this boat for the rest of my life, or for what remains of it,” Giorgio Armani told British Vogue during their visit to the yacht he meticulously designed himself, known as the Maín . The perfectly polished all black boat, complete with tinted windows throughout, is an impressive antidote to the sea of entirely white yachts at most docks. His previous boat, the Mariù , was equally as stylish, and he welcomed AD aboard in 2003.

Diane von Furstenberg

Eos , the yacht of Diane von Furstenberg and her husband Barry Diller, is said to be one of the largest in the world . The couple clearly takes advantage of all that room—just take the well documented trip to Tahiti they took with Anderson Cooper, Alison Williams, Bradley Cooper, Irina Shayk, and Andy Cohen, among others, as proof.

It’s no surprise that multibillionaire Jeff Bezos has a yacht of his own. The Amazon founder’s $500 million boat is on track to be ready this June, years after he commissioned it in 2018 . Bezos has recently faced backlash for requesting that a bridge in Rotterdam, Netherlands, be dismantled so his massive yacht can pass through the town later this year.

Andrea Bocelli

The lavish lifestyle of opera star Andrea Bocelli wouldn’t be complete without a yacht. The star singer has owned eight different vessels over the last two decades, and in 2018 he replaced his 72-foot Gamma 22 Libertas with an 86-foot-long Darwin 86 called the Stella del Nord .

Tiger Woods

The Privacy.

According to Golf , Tiger Woods’s yacht Privacy is something of a second home to the athlete, who sleeps on board when he’s away from home at major championship tournaments. Nine other guests could easily sleep on the boat, and enjoy the jacuzzi, wet bar, and decompression chamber.

Just six months after buying a $2 million mini yacht, the Wajer 55s, Tom Brady spent $6 million on the Wajer 77, with a sleeping capacity of nine, more than double the first boat’s capacity. “I think the 77 will be a little more suited for what we need it for down here, which is a few more day trips and weekend trips,” Brady said in a video announcing the Wajer 77. “We spend a lot of time in the Bahamas, so going from the east coast of Florida across into the Bahamas and around the Bahamas would be really great trips for us as a family.”

David Geffen

The Rising Sun.  

Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island Mansion: Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Billionaire movie and music produce r David Geffen’s $590 million yacht, the Rising Sun , easily trumps Jeff Bezos’s and the parties Geffen’s thrown onboard rival those that Diane von Fursternberg has hosted. The Obamas, Steven Spielberg, JJ Abrams, Oprah , and Julia Roberts are among the many big names who’ve rode on the Rising Sun , which reportedly counts a double-height cinema and basketball court among its list of luxurious amenities.

Tommy Hilfiger

The Wajer 77.

Appropriate for the designer known for his love of red, white, and blue, Tommy Hilfiger’s yacht is named the Flag . Hilfiger has owned the boat which he calls his “most prized possession” for five years now, and over that time, he’s added his Americana-inspired touch to the classy interiors that were designed by Chahan Minassian.

Valentino Garavani

The TM Blue One . 

Fashion maven Valentino Garavani has owned his yacht, TM Blue One, since 1988, and yet it still remains an essential hot spot for his family and celebrity pals. The yacht is named for his parents, Teresa and Mauro, and was designed by Peter Marino, the architect who designed his New York apartment, too. Though the pastime du jour is unknown, it’s said that all guests were encouraged to take up needlepoint while on board back in the 90s.
