Celebrity Cruises, the company that brought you modern luxury cruising, has done it again. Introducing a revolutionary new ship that’s poised to change the way you experience the world—and a new class of ships designed to shatter all expectations.
When it came time to choose a name for this visionary vessel, Celebrity looked to the very thing that makes this ship so unique: the fact that during two years of exploration and excitement, every single design element has been taken to the leading edge of possibility.
Celebrity Edge. The first in the new Edge Class
of ships designed to leave the future behind.
A Luxurious Sanctuary for the Modern Traveler
Whether you want to clear your mind, fine-tune your body, reinvigorate your spirit—or all of the above—The Spa on Celebrity Edge is the unparalleled escape you deserve. With a design that rivals the world’s leading spas, a nature-inspired approach to wellness that includes an array of restorative spa, beauty, and fitness experiences never before offered at sea, Celebrity is pushing the boundaries of what a spa experience can be.
Transformative Spaces
As the sun sets, the groundbreaking spaces on Celebrity Edge transform to deliver completely new experiences. By day, outward-facing ocean views, ever-changing abstract artwork, and unexpected entertainment create a luxurious resort-style atmosphere. At night, ambient lighting, unique al fresco dining, and live music set the scene for energy, intimacy, and elegance.
Magic Carpet
The highlight of our outward-facing vision is the Magic Carpet, an extraordinary venue that changes mood, function, and even its location. This incredible engineering feat is the world’s first cantilevered, floating platform that reaches heights of 13 stories above sea level, so you can soar over the open ocean. With breathtaking views, a full bar, and space for live music performances, it truly is a destination itself.
Globally Inspired Dining
World-class restaurants that open your world. Celebrity Edge has been designed to change the way you experience the world, and the culinary philosophy follows the same line of thinking. Celebrity turned their focus to the destinations they visit, bringing the flavors of the world to you—right on board. 29 unique food and beverage experiences crafted by a Michelin-starred chef speak to all of your senses in distinctly different ways.
Celebrity Edge brings the world to you onboard through menus that deliver a true taste of international cuisine. With not one, but four main restaurants, plus a whole host of specialty and complimentary dining options, endless culinary adventures await.
Edge Entertainment
Celebrity Edge is changing the future of entertainment at sea—or anywhere else, for that matter. We’ve raised the bar on vacations to even greater heights with onboard entertainment that is just as revolutionary, just as technologically mind-blowing, and just as carefully crafted as Celebrity Edge itself.
Visionary design and innovative entertainment come together through the collaborative genius of Scott Butler, the award-winning founding partner of Wilson Butler Architects; Patricia Urquiola, world-renowned industrial designer and art director; and Tom Wright, internationally acclaimed architect and designer of the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai.
Experiential, imaginative performances stay with you long after your voyage has ended. Through exclusive brand partnerships with Black Skull Creative, and the whimsical team at Three In One Entertainment and Consulting, Celebrity Edge brings award-winning shows and world-famous productions to you.
Between its avant-garde, dedicated entertainment spaces and the creative production teams we’ve partnered with, Celebrity Edge surrounds you with engaging, spontaneous, and unforgettable entertainment moments that transport you from the everyday, every moment of your vacation.

Ports of Call
San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan, Puerto Rico, with stunning beaches, is one of the busiest leisure and business travel destinations in the Caribbean. It is especially convenient for U.S. citizens, because they do not need a passport to go to Puerto Rico and the currency there is the U.S. dollar.
Old San Juan's walled enclave delights visitors with a treasure trove of Spanish colonial architecture. The venerable San Juan Cathedral, gray cobblestoned streets and pastel-colored buildings give the Puerto Rican city the glamorous look of a movie set. Visitors will find a deep respect for the past combined with passion for the trends of the present.
San Juan houses cultural attractions such as the stunning Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, the state-of-the-art Coliseo de Puerto Rico that has welcomed major superstars and athletes, and a multimillion-dollar convention-center facility—the largest in the Caribbean. Historic neighborhoods offer sophisticated restaurants that combine Latin, Caribbean and Asian flavors. Cosmopolitan lounges, restaurants and nightclubs all around town fuel the city's reputation as a late-night haven for beautiful people.
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
The capital of the British Virgin Islands, Road Town is located on the large island of Tortola. One of the advantages of Road Town is its proximity to other attractions in the British Virgin Islands—ferries constantly depart from the ferry terminal for nearby destinations.
Road Town itself boasts a variety of fun temptations, including fantastic diving and sailing, as well as a multitude of friendly locals. Road Town is situated on the horseshoe-shaped Road Harbor in the center of the island's south coast. The population was about 9,400 in 2004.
The name is derived from the nautical term "the roads", a place less sheltered than a harbor but which ships can easily get to. A 69 acre development called Wickham's Cay, consisting of two areas that were reclaimed from the sea and a marina, have enabled Road Town to emerge as a haven for yacht chartering and a center of tourism. This area is the newest part of the city and the hub for the new commercial and administrative buildings of the BVI. The oldest building in Road Town, HM Prison on Main Street, was built in 1774.
Phillipsburgh, St. Maarten
St. Maarten, the Dutch side of the island, is still somewhat more developed for tourism than the French side, with large hotels, villas, condos, resorts, time-share developments, casinos and an amazing variety of nightlife. Its capital, Philipsburg, is a favorite destination of cruise ships and plays host to thousands of tourists when ships are in port.
The French and Dutch sides of the island, although culturally distinct, have a shared history dating back to the early 17th century. Early settlers banded together to ward off the Spanish, then divided the 37-sq-mi/96-sq-km island between themselves. The hilly, southern Dutch side is the smaller half, covering 16 sq mi/41 sq km. The French side is often called "the north" by locals.
The Arawak Indians named the island Soualiga, or Land of Salt, and the Great Salt Pond, near Philipsburg, remains a prominent geological feature protected by local environmentalists. The capital's sheltering Great Bay has attracted international traders for centuries, and St. Maarten is still known as a duty-free shopper's paradise. With its sheltered harbors, trade winds and proximity to other islands, St. Maarten is also a yachting hub.
The Dutch side changed its status in October 2010 from an island territory of the Netherlands Antilles to an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands remains head of state, while The Hague continues to be in charge of overseeing foreign affairs and defense. The people of St. Maarten remain Dutch nationals and carry Dutch passports.
