A Whole New World
It seems like every cruise line has a signature perk or feature that quickly becomes its trademark. Disney Cruise Line is famous for its beloved Disney characters and fun stage shows, Royal Caribbean is known for operating some of the largest cruise ships in the world, and Carnival Cruise Line is recognized as the fun, party-focused cruise line.
So, what about Celebrity Cruises? They’re celebrated for their elegant and luxurious experiences, as well as the iconic Magic Carpet, which has become a standout feature on their newest ships and will also be included on upcoming vessels like the Celebrity Xcel.

No, this isn’t a traditional magic carpet, my friend. The Magic Carpet is essentially a large platform attached to the side of the ship that moves up and down, transforming its atmosphere throughout the day. In the early morning, it serves as a relaxing spot to enjoy breakfast. In the afternoon, it becomes a standard restaurant, and by night, it transforms into a lounge with music and drinks.
The magic carpet has received lots of positive reviews since it debuted. The space is good for about one hundred guests, and is not only loved for being a destination where you can sit down, enjoy a nice drink and then leave. Nope, it’s much more than that!
Since the Magic Carpet is a platform attached to the side of the ship, it offers stunning, beautiful views of the ocean. You’ll feel completely immersed, surrounded by water with the wind gently blowing against your face. As the platform moves between various decks, you can enjoy different perspectives, from gazing at the horizon from the upper levels to being closer to the waves.
Another reason the Magic Carpet is so popular is that it enhances the ship's flow and creates additional space for guests. Cruise ships can get crowded, so having this “outside” area to sit back and relax is a welcome bonus.
It’s also a great way to explore the ship and move between decks. While stepping onto the Magic Carpet is free, there is a charge for dining or drinks at the restaurant or bar on the platform. If you’re planning to dine here, be sure to make a reservation well in advance… or let us at Famvia assist you!
