Celebrity Edge launches

CELEBRITY Cruises has launched its “most anticipated ship of the year” Celebrity Edge which has made its debut in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ahead of a maiden guest voyage on 09 Dec ( CW 21 Nov).

“Celebrity Edge is already hugely popular with Australians,” said the cruise lines’ Vice President and Managing Director for Australia & NZ, Susan Bonner.

“With thousands already booked for her Europe and Caribbean sailings, Australia is now the third highest source market for this ship,” she said.

“So many people have never considered cruising as a holiday option – this ship is absolutely going to change their minds.”

The 2,918-guest ship ( pictured) features the Magic Carpet ( pictured inset), an open-air venue off the side of the ship that moves between decks; the Spa, a 2,000m2 space with ocean views; a rooftop garden; the grand theatre; and 29 food and beverage experiences.

Her maiden Western Caribbean voyage departs 09 Dec and her Maiden Eastern Caribbean sail departs 16 Dec.

In spring 2019, Celebrity Edge will cross the Atlantic with a range of seven- to 11-night sailings visiting cities including Barcelona and Rome.

Celebrity Edge will be joined by her sister ship, Celebrity Apex, in 2020, and two more ships in the Edge Series will follow in 2021 and 2022.
