Celebrity's Edge Class ships are redefining the premium cruising experience at sea.
Embarking on a journey aboard one of these ships is an experience that redefines the essence of luxury cruising. These vessels are marvels of modern engineering and design, offering an unparalleled combination of innovative features, exquisite dining and world-class service. With a passenger capacity of approximately 2,900, a gross tonnage just under 131,000, and a length just over 1,000 feet, these ships are designed to deliver an unforgettable cruise experience.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Edge Class ships is their diverse range of cabin categories. Whether you are traveling solo or with family, there is an accommodation that suits your preferences. The Infinite Veranda is a standout feature, transforming your living space into a seamless blend with the ocean beyond. It offers a unique indoor-outdoor experience that no other cruise ship can match. For those seeking the epitome of luxury, the Iconic Suites provide a lavish space complete with panoramic views, a private hot tub, and exclusive amenities that cater to your every desire. While sailing on the Edge class we found that the staterooms also offer a refined experience with their thoughtfully designed interiors and state-of-the-art technology. The clever use of space, even on rounded surfaces promises plenty of storage. A nice touch is the charging box with built in sockets and USB power so you don't have cable soup on the combined vanity-desk. Controlling the lights on the Celebrity app also set the experience apart.

The dining options aboard Edge Class ships are nothing short of spectacular. With more than 29 distinct restaurants, cafes, and bars, the culinary journey is as expansive as it is delectable. Fine dining enthusiasts will relish in the offerings at Luminae at The Retreat, where globally inspired dishes are crafted with precision and flair. The Luminae is is a special amenity for Retreat guests. Passengers in Aqua class staterooms can indulge their tastebuds at Blu which has a health-forward menu. The ship's main dining venues, including Cosmopolitan Restaurant and Normandie Restaurant, provide a diverse array of international cuisines that cater to every palate. For a more casual dining experience, the Oceanview Café offers a delightful buffet with stunning ocean views. At the heart of the ships lies the Grand Plaza atrium, the social hub of the ship, featuring the Martini Bar which is sure to have a drink to suit you.
At the aft of the ship lies Eden, a transformative space that encapsulates dining, entertainment, and relaxation within one breathtaking venue. This multi-level area features floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views of the sea, creating a serene atmosphere during the day. As night falls, Eden becomes a vibrant hub of activity with innovative performances and and an exquisite dining experience that promise to captivate and delight - we loved it.
You can't miss the big orange structure attached to the starboard side of the ship. Celebrity calls it the Magic Carpet; true to its name it can be moved up and down along the ship. When all the way up, it becomes a vibrant bar with panoramic open air views to the sea; after sunset, it can be moved down to the the restaurant level and becomes an outside dining terrace. At its lowest level it becomes a tender dock attached to a beautifully designed departures and arrivals area, complete with security checkpoints. Two other signature exterior spaces are the Rooftop Garden, with quiet seating areas and the Sunset bar at the aft end of the ship, promising those never to forget moments in the late afternoon sun.
Edge Class ships also feature a world class spa, access to which is included with Aqua class cabins and available at a surcharge otherwise. Rain shower, steam room Turkish bath, salt room and sauna are all there, as well as amazing relax spaces and a separate terrace. This is the place to be to completely unwind, especially if you combine it with some of the excellent spa services available.
What truly sets the Edge Class ships apart is the stellar service provided by the crew.
