From the outside, it might look like a standard, albeit glamorous, cruise ship.

But Edge has something unusual going on inside — an innovative endoskeleton design that owner Celebrity Cruises claims will make seagoing travel more epic than ever. One of the main features is the edge balcony – The balcony merges seamlessly with the room. A simple press of a button turns the veranda into a self-contained space, then the vast windows can be pushed down to open the balconies directly onto the ocean. Now, why no one thought about it before? That will give you much more space as how many times do you open the balcony door in an ordinary balcony cabin and use it? not that often and this will maximise your space rather than give you an extra space you won’t be using that much, due to weather or sometimes there is not much time to sit outside the balcony as there is so much to do inside the ship and so little time. I know the new P&O Iona will have similar cabins but the Iona is not ready until summer 2020.Measuring 117,000 gross registered tons, Celebrity Edge and its four fleetmates ships will have a double passenger capacity of 2,900 people, making them larger than the line’s Millennium-class ships, but slightly smaller than those in the Solstice Class. I think it will be a fantastic ship!
