Celebrity Cruises recently unveiled its most innovative ships ever to be designed. The Edge Series – Edge, Apex, Beyond and Ascent – will visit more than 50 countries and 120 global ports of call.
Already boasting built-in excellence, the all-suite, all-inclusive Edge Series ships offer an even more select option known as The Retreat, a complete sailing lifestyle. The Retreat includes the most well-appointed accommodations, an exclusive lounge and sundeck that rival any high-end resort, as well as a private restaurant with signature dishes created by Global Culinary Ambassador, Daniel Boulud. It also includes a dedicated team of attendants, concierges, and a butler to ensure you never have to lift a finger. As a guest of The Retreat, enjoy a long list of curated amenities, beginning with premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, tips, and an onboard credit to spend any way you choose.

Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Edge are known for their European Summer sailing itineraries. The ships explore nearly 100 destinations and offer an expanded overnight program, providing more time in some of Europe’s most awe-inspiring cities. Linger over a fresh croissant and café au lait in a Parisian patisserie or enjoy fresh seafood paella at a restaurant on La Rambla, Barcelona’s most famous street. Relax in a gondola as you glide through the ancient waterways of Venice, before driving the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy, with its picturesque villages, lush gardens, and incredible ocean views. Farther north, Celebrity Apex, the second ship in revolutionary Edge Series, navigates Scandinavia, Russia, and the stunning Norwegian Fjords from the new home port of Amsterdam.

Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity’s newest award-winning resort at sea is the forth and most innovative ship in the highly awarded Edge Series, will debut this fall visiting the fleet’s most inspiring Caribbean ports of call. Dive and snorkel the Great Maya Reef, which teems with tropical fish. Climb waterfalls and descend into caves. Ride horseback through turquoise waters, and swim with friendly dolphins, or join other history aficionados to explore ancient Mayan temples and Spanish colonial churches. Foodies will love Celebrity Ascent’s attention to detail. Aboard the ship, chefs fuse traditional dishes with local produce to create extraordinarily fresh flavors. Try mahi-mahi, grouper, kingfish, red and yellowtail snapper, and conch straight from the shell.
Whether it’s a quick getaway or a two-week island-hopping adventure, when you vacation aboard Celebrity’s new Edge Series ships, you’ll return renewed and restored.
