Celebrity Cruises Adding Pickleball To Its Fleet

Pickleball – the world’s fastest growing sport – is coming to nine of Celebrity Cruises oceangoing vessels.  Travelers will enjoy open-air courts and panoramic ocean views while playing this popular sport, a hybrid of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.

Open to players of all skill levels, pickleball will be offered complimentary to all guests who sail on a participating ship. Guests can enjoy pickleball at their leisure pending court availability, or as part of organized events and tournaments led by the ship’s activities team. Separate times will be scheduled for adult play 18 and over, or family play of six years and older.  Guests can bring their own equipment onboard, or use the pickleball net, paddles and balls provided by Celebrity Cruises.

The nine Celebrity Cruises’ ships now offering pickleball include: Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Millennium, Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Summit.

Court locations vary by ship. On Edge Series ships Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Apex, pickleball is played at the lush and roomy Rooftop Garden. On Solstice Series ships including Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Solstice, pickleball will be offered on the Sports Deck (Deck 15). Meanwhile, on Millennium Series ships Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Summit, players can head to the Sports Court (Deck 12).
