Celebrity Cruises Edge Class

The Celebrity Cruises Edge Class – also known as the Edge Series – represents a bold reimagining of modern cruising. These ships are the most innovative, design-forward vessels in the Celebrity Cruises fleet, offering an elevated, resort-style experience at sea. With sleek architecture, cutting-edge technology, and thoughtful layout, the Edge Class sets a new standard for premium cruise travel.

Launched in 2018 with the debut of Celebrity Edge, the series has grown to include Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent, and the brand-new Celebrity Xcel Each ship in the Edge Series builds upon the last, introducing refined features, expanded spaces, and even more immersive experiences.

What Makes the Edge Series Unique?

The Edge Class was designed from the ground up to break away from traditional cruise ship design. At the heart of this transformation is a focus on outdoor connection, open space, and understated luxury — ideal for cruisers looking for style without stuffiness.

Some of the standout innovations include:

Resort Decks: Featuring asymmetrical pools, cantilevered hot tubs, and ample loungers, Edge ships are designed for open-air relaxation with a modern aesthetic.
The Magic Carpet: A first-of-its-kind platform that glides up and down the side of the ship. It serves as a bar, dining venue, and tender embarkation point – offering incredible sea views at every level.
Infinite Veranda Staterooms: These rooms blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. With the touch of a button, your entire wall of glass transforms into a balcony, creating more usable space and better ocean views.
The Retreat: A ship-within-a-ship experience exclusively for suite guests. It includes a private sundeck, pool, lounge, and the upscale Luminae at The Retreat restaurant.
Eden: A three-story multi-use space combining lounge areas, immersive entertainment, and innovative dining — all wrapped in glass to connect you with the sea.

Design That Feels Like a Luxury Hotel

The Celebrity Cruises Edge Series feels more like a high-end boutique resort than a traditional cruise ship. Public spaces are curated with clean lines, warm tones, and designer furniture – offering a calming, contemporary vibe. Celebrity worked with renowned architects and interior designers to ensure every venue, from the main dining rooms to the Sunset Bar, feels intentional and stylish.

Edge Class vs Other Celebrity Ships

While Celebrity’s Solstice and Millennium class ships are elegant and well-loved, the Edge Class offers a next-level experience. It’s not just newer – it’s a complete rethink of how a cruise ship can look and feel. The layout is more open, the tech more advanced, and the amenities more exclusive. From sustainability enhancements to expanded suite options, every Edge ship is designed to impress.
