Everything you need to know about Celebrity Edge Class 

Celebrity Cruises has four types of ships: Millennium, Solstice and Edge Class, and its smaller Galápagos vessels. Its newest Edge Class ships are celebrated for their exciting innovation in the industry, and, since April 2022, there are now three vessels to choose from for your cruise holiday: Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond and, the latest addition, Celebrity Ascent.

The revolutionary ships in the Edge series feature innovative outward-facing designs, expanded open-air spaces and an abundance of fine dining sure to rival even the best restaurants found on land. Guests can even enjoy high-speed connectivity with Starlink internet service by SpaceX, so cruisers can enjoy more reliable internet while travelling, and share their journey with the rest of the world!

But what else can you expect, and how are Edge Class ships standing out from others in the industry?

The concept

When designing Edge Class, Celebrity Cruises set out to do things differently. Adopting a unique outward-facing design and blending inside with outside spaces, the ships allow you to feel more connected with the sea while onboard.

With their sleek, elegant look, excellent range of fantastic amenities and personalised service, they continue to uphold the first-rate luxury that guests expect when they step aboard Celebrity Cruises’ ships.

Infinite Veranda staterooms

One of the most innovative features onboard Edge Class ships is their industry-first ‘Infinite Veranda’ staterooms. These glass-walled cabins leverage the latest technology and design to offer a sliding window, activated by a simple touch of a button, to provide open-air access and a balcony-like feel to your accommodation- even letting you walk right out onto the water's edge!

What's more, Infinite Veranda staterooms are 23% larger than the award-winning Solstice Series veranda staterooms, meaning passengers will have more space to make themselves at home when on board. Guests also have the option of a connecting stateroom, making it easier to combine with friends and family at sea; perfect for an accompanying in-law, grandparent or simply friends travelling together.

Eden lounge, restaurant and bar

Continuing with the blending of outdoors and the inside, Celebrity Cruises created Eden: a beautiful, three-deck-high, outward-facing lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows and two al fresco seating areas.

Throughout the day, Eden transforms from a relaxed space where you can enjoy your morning coffee or participate in one of Celebrity Cruises’ cooking or cocktail classes, to a vibrant venue for evening entertainment and high-end dining. At 11,800 square feet, with panoramic ocean views and nature-inspired stylish interiors, Eden provides a multi-sensory experience quite unlike any other seen before on a cruise ship- or on land, for that matter!

The cuisine served, along with the extensive wine list on offer, are rooted in origins of the natural world and draw inspiration from the many regions visited while sailing on a Celebrity cruise ship. Featuring an open kitchen, guests can immerse themselves in the entire journey up to being served their culinary creations, watching chefs add the finishing touches to each and every dish served up.

It's all about intertwining the senses at Eden, ensuring that cuisine looks just as good as it tastes.

The Magic Carpet

Included in the revolutionary design of Edge Class is the Magic Carpet: a 90-ton exterior platform equalling the size of a tennis court, moving up and down the side of the ship to fulfil various functions.

This cantilevered, floating platform is a world-first and an impressive engineering achievement, reaching up to 13 floors above sea level. The Magic Carpet has a comfortable seating area, full bar and space for live music performances. As an exciting transformative space, it can be found offering open-air dining, acting as a poolside extension or at ground level to become The Destination Gateway.

Although not one for the faint-hearted, The Magic Carpet provides a dining experience like no other and is an absolute must when sailing on any of the three Celebrity Edge Class ships.

The Resort Deck

Another cutting-edge example of Celebrity Cruise’s approach to redesigning outdoor spaces is the Resort Deck. You can spend time around the asymmetrical pool deck, indulging in the two-storey martini hot tubs, where the ever-changing LED light art installation creates varying moods depending on the time of day.

Another favourite of many guests is the laid-back, yet lively, environment of the Rooftop Garden: an urban playscape for movies, picnics and dancing under the stars. Also found on the Resort Deck is the adults-only Solarium. Retreat to this glass-covered pool area with a three-dimensional, ocean-inspired art wall for a calm and luxurious place to relax.

Celebrity Cruises aimed to set a new industry standard with their Edge Class ships, providing the latest in design and technology while delivering top-class luxury experiences.
