When Celebrity Cruises introduced the Edge® Series, they transformed what it means to cruise. These ships—Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent and the new Celebrity Xcel—blend innovative design, luxurious amenities, and immersive experiences that set a new standard at sea.

Revolutionary Design

The Edge Series ships are unlike anything else on the water. With open, airy spaces and cutting-edge architecture, every corner is designed to connect you to the sea. The Infinite Veranda® staterooms bring the outdoors in, offering more living space and breathtaking views at the touch of a button.

The Magic Carpet® Experience

One of the most talked-about innovations is the Magic Carpet®, a cantilevered platform that moves between decks. By day, it serves as a relaxed lounge with panoramic views, and by night, it transforms into a chic dining venue or stylish bar. It’s a one-of-a-kind feature you won’t find on any other cruise line.

Culinary Excellence at Every Turn

The Edge Series is home to some of the most diverse dining venues at sea. With over 29 restaurants, cafés, and bars, you can savor flavors from around the world. Specialty dining venues like Eden and Fine Cut Steakhouse push the boundaries of what’s possible on a cruise ship.

Elevated Entertainment and Experiences

Entertainment on the Edge Series is bold, immersive, and unforgettable. From high-tech theater productions to intimate live music, there’s something for every mood and moment. The expansive Rooftop Garden is the perfect spot to enjoy cocktails, movies under the stars, and live performances surrounded by nature-inspired design.

The Retreat® on Edge

The luxury suite experience, The Retreat®, shines brightest on the Edge Series. Guests enjoy exclusive spaces like The Retreat Sundeck, private lounge, and Luminae restaurant—all paired with world-class service.

Why Choose the Edge® Series?

If you’re looking for a cruise that feels sleek, modern, and filled with thoughtful details, the Edge Series is unmatched. These ships aren’t just a way to get to your destination—they’re part of the destination itself.
