CELEBRITY CRUISES PARTNERS WITH LEADING INDUSTRY CREATIVES FOR UNPARALLELED LINE-UP OF ENTERTAINMENT ON CELEBRITY BEYOND 

MIAMI (March 15, 2022) – Celebrity Cruises^® today raised the curtain on a host of new live show spectaculars and onboard interactive experiences for Celebrity Beyond℠, the highly anticipated new-luxury ship debuting April 2022, that are as revolutionary, technologically mind-blowing and carefully crafted as the ship itself.  

Assembling creative visionaries who have collaborated on major productions from Las Vegas and the West End to the Olympics, and for some of the world’s biggest brands and artists, the end result is an artistry on display never before seen at sea.  

“When you have a ship named ‘Beyond,’ it’s a promise to our guests to take every aspect of the ship beyond anything we’ve done before,” said Brian Abel, Celebrity Cruises’ Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations. “We’ve set the stage with so many experiential and imaginative offerings that I have never been more excited to debut our entertainment programming.” 

“It has been such an honor to collaborate with some of the best live show creative minds to develop world-class performances and experiences at every turn throughout the ship,” said Celebrity’s Vice President of Entertainment, Lisa Lehr. “Beyond delivers an onboard entertainment experience that our guests will be talking about long after they have returned home.” 

Stage Productions Go Beyond in The Theatre

The largest in the Celebrity fleet, The Theatre on Celebrity Beyond introduces three all-new stunning production shows with programming brought to life through state-of-the-art production technology.  

The new shows include: 

• ‘Elements’ – is a journey through the five elements – air, water, earth, fire and ether – utilizing state-of-the-art technology, mesmerising visuals, breathtaking acrobatic performances and fashion-inspired costumes. “Air sculptures” created by Brooklyn-based artist Daniel Wurtzel, are a highlight of the show as air is blown into large sheets of flowing fabric creating dancing art along with a first-ever custom air fountain blow-out that floats over the audience, all of which intertwine with performers and musicians to create stunning visuals like never seen before. With choreography by Got to Dance winner Lukas McFarlane and co-direction by Marck Stevens, renowned director from Vegas to Europe, and Liam Lunniss, visionary behind some of today’s top musical artists’ live concerts and productions, guests won’t want to blink for fear of missing some of the ever-changing beauty before them.

• ‘Arte’ – immerses audiences in iconic works of art in a ground-breaking masterpiece that combines electrifying dance, high-flying acrobatics and mind-bending visual effects with a light-hearted twist.The modern-day sculptural work of Brazilian artist Rubem Robierb is also featured, with a show segment based on his powerful “Peace Makers” sculpture displayed on Celebrity Beyond. With choreography by London’s West End creative leader Kendra Horburgh (& Juliet), this moving masterpiece will forever change how audience-goers experience art. 

• ‘Stage Door’ – is like having an exclusive backstage pass into the heart of the biggest Broadway and West End musicals. The immersive performances are accompanied by a full symphony orchestra that was recorded in the London Palladium, UK’s most iconic theatre. All brought to life through cutting-edge technology by renowned director/choreographer of West End’s Thriller Live!, Gary Lloyd. 

Wrapping around the stage is a 110-foot curved 4K LED screen, complete with five moving panels that open and move for truly immersive visual experiences and dramatic talent entrances and exits. Floor projection technology integrates with the content on the screen, creating a seamless floor to ceiling visual effects experience.
