Your Ship: Celebrity Edge

Celebrity Edge® has changed the game in so many ways, from the first-of-its-kind Magic Carpet®, a cantilevered bar-slash-restaurant that gives even the best views a lift, to the outward-facing Eden, a stunning three-story space where the vibe and the scenery evolve throughout the day. Kick back by the asymmetrical pool with lounge chairs right in the water and soak up the views from the two-story-high, martini-shaped hot tubs. Try a new restaurant every night, from Fine Cut Steakhouse to Raw on 5 to Rooftop Garden Grill, and explore not one but four complimentary main restaurants. Be at the center of the action in the Grand Plaza, and watch the bartenders defy physics at the always-popular Martini Bar. And check out a show in one of the most state-of-the-art theaters at sea.

The accommodations are just as revolutionary as everything else. Our innovative Infinite Verandas® put more room in your room and welcome the outside in with the touch of a button. Our spa-inspired AquaClass® staterooms come with access to The Spa’s SEA Thermal Suite and dining in Blu. And The Retreat® is the most elevated experience at sea, with over-the-top suites like our two-story Edge Villas, a sundeck and lounge that make you feel like you have the ship to yourself, and private dining in Luminae. Celebrity Edge also features Starlink high-speed internet for staying connected miles at sea. With all this and more, it’s no wonder this ship earned the Recommended Rating from the Forbes Travel Guide.
