Celebrity Cruises celebrates another milestone with the unveiling of the line’s first ever brand-designed cruise terminal, Terminal 25 (T25), located at Port Everglades in Florida.
Brought to life in collaboration with Broward County’s Port Everglades and architectural firm Bermello Ajamil & Partners, T25 melds a design with technology, such as Frictionless Arrival which will make the check-in process seamless.

“When designing the revolutionary Celebrity Edge, we knew we wanted to design a terminal that perfectly complemented the ship and matched its one-of-a-kind experience,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises.
T25 will also offer Suite Class guests an experience with a lounge, elevator lobbies, screening areas and even a private rooftop terrace.
Scheduled for completion in late October 2018, T25 will be the new home to many Celebrity ships, including Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Reflection and Celebrity Silhouette. When Celebrity is not using T25 the facility will be open to other cruise lines.
“This is the largest financial investment that Port Everglades has made in a cruise terminal, and we fully anticipate that Terminal 25’s iconic design will be a showcase for Broward County and Celebrity Cruises as we strive to create an inviting and fun environment for the millions of cruise passengers who visit here," said Broward County Mayor Beam Furr.
“We are replacing two smaller and outdated cruise terminals with an innovative facility that is inspired by the sleek, futuristic design of Celebrity Edge and can accommodate some of the world’s largest cruise ships,” said Port Everglades Chief Executive and Port Director Steven Cernak.
Currently, Port Everglades welcomes approximately 335,000 Celebrity guests, representing about 9% of its overall passenger traffic. Once the new cruise terminal is completed, it is anticipated that Celebrity will generate nearly 500,000 travelers at Port Everglades – representing no less than 14% of the port’s projected passenger traffic.
