Celebrity Cruises | Celebrity edge

Introducing a revolutionary new ship that’s poised to change the way guests experience the world. With its visionary design, it will raise the bar on cruise vacations to even greater heights. Welcome, CelebrityEdgeSM, the first in Celebrity Cruises’ new class of ships designed to leave the future behind. Celebrity EdgeSM marks a turning point in Celebrity Cruises’ approach to ship design, with its revolutionary, outward-facing infrastructure – highlighted by signature features such as the Magic Carpet, the Edge Stateroom with an Infinite Veranda and the private plunge pools in the Edge Villas.

This is a ship that wows at every turn from the infinite balcony staterooms with large marble bathroom, to the ultra cool Eden chill out lounge accessed through a dark grotto of golden trees, to the futuristic rooftop terrace. Celebrity seemed to replavced thr conventional with amazing taking you 10 years into the future. There are 12 dining options on board, a gallery of relaxing poolside cabanas, an asymmetriacl pool area and the Magic Carpet moving entertainment space. Seeing is believing  and this ship is worthy the prices it rightly commands.

Stateroom Accommodation

The most transformational aspect of the new stateroom design is the introduction of the Edge Stateroom with Infinite VerandaSM. These revolutionary rooms take the standard veranda stateroom and, with the touch of a button, blur – even erase – the boundaries between inside and outside. The entire living space becomes the veranda, letting guests walk right out to the water’s edge.

Edge StateroomsSM offer the latest technology that allows guests to precisely adjust nearly every comfort feature in their stateroom. The in-room automation allows them to control everything from lighting, to shades, temperature, and service with a simple touch screen. Guests can even choose a setting that will tuck them in and gently wake them in the morning; it’s world-class service at the touch of a button.

Not only do these staterooms feature the latest in design and technology, they’re even more spacious. In fact, they’re 23% larger than the award-winning Celebrity Solstice® Class veranda staterooms. The added space made it possible to include a luxurious king-sized bed from Celebrity’s new Cashmere Bedding CollectionSM in every standard-sized stateroom. Bigger rooms called for larger bathrooms too, so they have been expanded by 10% and include even larger modern showers.

• Total Stateroom Square Footage: 243 sq. ft.
• Veranda Square Footage: 42 sq. ft.
• Bathroom Square Footage: 30 sq. ft.

Celebrity Edge’s suite offering has also been redefined with the introduction of two spectacular new categories, Iconic Suites and Edge Villas, as well as a new private utopia called The Retreat offering suite guests a private sundeck, lounge and dedicated restaurant.

The Iconic Suite is a new Edge-exclusive Suite Class category and the highest level of suites available on Celebrity Edge. This is the absolute pinnacle of modern luxury, at more than 2,500 sq. ft. and situated above the bridge of the ship - this extensive suite promises the most breathtaking views onboard, with 82 linear feet of panoramic glass enveloping the entire dining room, living room and bedroom.

The veranda, which adds 700 sq. ft. to the grand total space of the suite, also sits above the wing of the bridge, with a hot tub, a shaded private, resort-style cabana, and sweeping views of the ocean. There’s also an in-suite butler’s pantry for those occasions when guests feel like entertaining.

Guests staying in one of the two bedrooms, two full-bathroom (fi tted with full showers, whirlpool tubs, and the best amenities) Iconic Suites also enjoy access to The Retreat (for Suite Guests), including the private restaurant Luminae @ The Retreat, The Retreat Lounge, and The Retreat Sundeck, including The Retreat Pool and The Retreat Pool Bar.

Guests will also be provided with the luxury of personal butler service as part of their Suite Class perks.

There are only 2 Iconic Suites on-board

• Total Stateroom Square Footage: 2,592 sq. ft.
• Veranda Square Footage: 700 sq. ft.
• Master Bathroom Square Footage: 199 sq. ft.

The Edge Villa is another new category of suites which are on two-levels and offer stunning, outward-facing views, private plunge pools and direct walk-out access to The Retreat Sundeck, a convenience reserved exclusively for Edge Villa guests. With two stories of windows in the two-level atrium stairway that look out over the terrace, featuring a three-foot-deep plunge pool and inviting lounge furniture, to the incredible ocean views from even the bathroom, it’s an open and airy environment that truly invites the outside in, and vice versa.

There are six Edge Villas on-board:

• Total Stateroom Square Footage: 951 sq. ft.
• Veranda Square Footage: 211 sq. ft.
• Master Bathroom Square Footage: 91 sq. ft.

VENUES

The Resort Deck, which includes the main pool area, the new Rooftop Garden, the jogging track, and the Solarium, is unlike any other outdoor space at sea – or anywhere. Here, you will find endless ways to enjoy the outdoors and connect with the sea. Revolutionary in its vision, space is encompassed by an outward-facing, untraditionally asymmetrical terraced pool deck nearly 22 feet high that makes the ocean views and landscapes the focal point while lounging poolside.

Guests can soak up the sun and hand-crafted cocktails at the beautiful pool while lounging comfortable, take a dip in the 75-foot lap pool, relax in one of the spectacular martini glass-shaped hot tubs suspended elegantly in the air on the slenderest glass stem that bookend the pool, or sprint along the nearly quarter-mile-long two-deck jogging track.

Shimmering at one end of the pool is a larger-than-life artistic mirror installation designed by Tom Wright – an ever-changing, abstract piece positioned above the Pool Bar. The pool deck is full of oversized sculptural pieces that set this space apart from any other at sea. An example is the dramatic, unique tree sculptures that add an air of whimsy and create an intimate setting at night when lit up.

Six spacious cabanas line the starboard side of the deck and provide another cool hot spot for incredible outward-facing views. These rentable relaxation spaces offer a private getaway and highlight Celebrity’s design DNA. At night, ambient lighting enhances the intimacy of the spaces even more.

The Magic Carpet: Cantilevered from the side of the ship, the Magic Carpet makes Celebrity Edge’s distinctive profile recognisable from miles away.  At the summit of the ship on Deck 16, the Magic Carpet becomes the ultimate speciality restaurant offering a special “Dinner on the Edge”.  Down to Deck 14, Magic Carpet becomes an extension of the already expansive relaxing main pool area, the perfect place for breathtaking views, tantalizing libations, and live music. On Deck 5, Magic Carpet extends the ship’s restaurants into the most amazing al fresco seating imaginable for close to 100 guests. Here it creates an intimate, open-air dining experience that will make the fresh ocean fare taste even fresher.

Destination Gateway: At its lowest position on Deck 2, Magic Carpet is a key component to the Destination Gateway, a luxury embarkation area where guests will be whisked away on-board sleek Edge Launches – transforming the guest experience in smaller ports of call.

Destination Gateway is a modern, multi-purpose area that brings the destination to life. When the Magic Carpet is positioned here, Destination Gateway serves as a comfortable and welcoming environment that leads to the Edge Launches for easy and effortless transportation ashore. Destination Gateway will immerse guests in their next destination, with highlights of the port of call displayed on large LCD screens. Together, Destination, Gateway, Magic Carpet, and the Edge Launches make for a seamless transition off and on the ship.

When not in use for tendering ashore, Destination Gateway is a learning and activity centre where destination enrichment talks, Celebrity Shore Excursion information sessions, and more are hosted.

The Rooftop Garden: One of the most carefree Resort Deck spaces brought to life in collaboration with Tom Wright is the Rooftop Garden, a living, urban playscape inspired by childhood playgrounds and designed to awaken the inner-child in everyone. It’s a lively, spacious environment perfect for slowing down, wandering, daydreaming, movie watching, or outdoor dining. The Garden is tended to daily by a resident horticulturist, and is the perfect place for guests to enjoy interactive games and activities throughout the day, or enjoy the not-to-be-missed evening entertainment where food and film merge during “A Taste of Film,” and pop-up live music performances from the unexpected treetop sculptures. The Garden Grill, located under the sun, or under the stars, has a selection of the best burgers, brisket, or BBQ guests will find anywhere.
