Celebrity Edge – Spirits of the Southern Coast
A hosted Celebrity Cruises sailing enhanced by curated coastal spirit experiences
The Celebrity Edge Coastal Spirits Cruise takes Celebrity’s Australia wine-focused itinerary and elevates it with curated coastal spirits experiences in collaboration with Box Bar and The Fox Hole, alongside great company and an inclusive LGBT+ hosted social layer.
Whether you’re a gin enthusiast, a lover of quality experiences or simply enjoy travelling with interesting people, you’ll find plenty to savour along the way.

Fabulous fares start from AUD $3397 per person, twin share.
Gay Group Cruise or All-Gay Cruise - What's the Difference?
Not all gay cruises are the same. A hosted gay group cruise like Spirits of the Southern Coast gives you an LGBT+ social experience within a regular Celebrity Cruises sailing. A full-ship all-gay cruise is a very different experience.
Which one is right for you?
Our free nine-point guide compares the different styles – including atmosphere, entertainment, community, destinations, flexibility and price – so you can decide which experience best suits the way you like to travel.

Your Coastal Spirits Hosted Experience
Created by Points of Difference Travel & Events in collaboration with Box Bar and The Fox Hole, this hosted sailing layers optional social experiences and curated coastal spirits moments across Celebrity’s Australia coastal itinerary.
Expect relaxed hosted gatherings, opportunities to connect with fellow travellers, curated distillery experiences in select ports and plenty of time to simply enjoy Celebrity Edge at your own pace.
As always with Island Fruits Hosted Cruises, participation is entirely optional. Some guests join every hosted moment, while others simply enjoy travelling within a welcoming LGBT+ hosted environment with great people nearby.
The Spirit of This Journey
There’s something about Australia’s southern coastline that invites you to slow down a little. Long lunches overlooking the harbour. Conversations that stretch into sailaway cocktails. Distilleries tucked into historic waterfronts and coastal towns. Stylish evenings onboard. Sea air, good food and the kind of travel moments that become stories long after the journey ends.
This hosted Celebrity Edge sailing has been designed around that atmosphere.
By blending Celebrity Cruises’ relaxed modern luxury with curated coastal spirits experiences inspired by Box Bar and The Fox Hole, this journey becomes more than simply moving from port to port. It’s about discovering places through flavour, conversation and connection – whether that’s over a locally crafted gin, a shared dinner onboard or a sunset drink as Celebrity Edge sails out of Hobart.

Travelling on your own? You’ll feel right at home on this hosted Celebrity Edge journey.

You’re welcome to join as much or as little as you like, from hosted dinners and sailaway drinks to shore excursions and relaxed conversations throughout the voyage.
