When organizing a performance cruise for your dance studio, you want to ensure that every member of your group, from the youngest dancers to their families, has a memorable experience. Celebrity Ascent delivers on this by offering a range of amenities and activities that cater to multigenerational families.
For example, new additions like Game On, an interactive competition with six projected games, are perfect for families to enjoy together in The Club. Additionally, The Annex provides a bookable private space with activities like karaoke, simulated golf, and food and beverage service, making it an excellent option for smaller groups or downtime after performances.

Whether your dancers are looking for some fun between rehearsals or families want to bond, Celebrity Ascent offers plenty of ways to unwind and enjoy the journey.
Dining and Entertainment That Will Appeal to Everyone
With a focus on high-end dining and entertainment, Celebrity Ascent makes sure there’s something for everyone in your dance studio group. For a fun and interactive dining experience, Le Petit Chef brings meals to life with tabletop animations, creating a unique and entertaining experience for everyone. For more refined dining, Le Voyage by Chef Daniel Boulud offers an elevated French menu perfect for adult groups and families looking for a special dinner experience.
For casual dining, Craft Social offers a relaxed pub-style atmosphere with a variety of beers on tap and comfort food favorites. If your group enjoys sushi or fresh seafood, Raw on 5 is a great choice. And for a wide variety of options, the Oceanview Cafe buffet offers diverse cuisines, including vegetarian-friendly dishes and gluten-free options, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Entertainment on board is just as varied, with performances designed to keep your group entertained after a day of rehearsals or performances.

Comfortable and Spacious Staterooms for Your Group
Accommodations are key when traveling with a large group, and Celebrity Ascent offers a variety of stateroom options that make it easy for your dancers and their families to relax in comfort. The Infinite Veranda Staterooms provide floor-to-ceiling windows that open at the touch of a button, creating an indoor-outdoor experience. The smart, space-efficient design of the bathrooms—featuring roomy corner showers—will also make it easier for your group to get ready for performances and other activities.
For those looking for extra space or a more luxurious experience, there are larger suites, including the AquaClass Staterooms, which offer additional perks like access to the SEA Thermal Suite and dining at the exclusive Blu restaurant. If you’re traveling with a larger group, Celebrity Ascent also features several connecting rooms and suites, ensuring your dancers and their families can stay close but also have ample space to unwind.
Sophisticated Venues for Adults
While Celebrity Ascent is family-friendly, it also offers a sophisticated and adult-focused experience for the parents and chaperones in your group. The ship’s stylish bars and lounges— like the Martini Bar and Sunset Bar— offer a relaxed atmosphere for adults to unwind after a day of activities.
