Redefining Ocean Travel

By Miranda Noelle Plume

Luxury, relaxation, and adventure take center stage on the magnificent vessels of Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series.

Cruising the ocean is already an impressive feat but doing so on a ship on the forefront of innovation is a triumph of another level. Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series presents an unparalleled vacation experience as it redefines cruising with its revolutionary ships. These five innovative outward-facing ships Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent, and their newest Celebrity Xcel—making its debut in the Caribbean in November 2025—put the world front and center visiting more than 50 countries and 120 ports of call. Offering sleek design and a wealth of amenities, while traveling to the world’s most desirable destinations, these vessels stand out as some of the most sophisticated on the seas.

Destinations & Itineraries

The Edge Series sails to a wide range of destinations across the globe, from Alaska up north to Australia down under, from tropical Caribbean islands to the cultural hotspots of Europe. In the Caribbean, guests can stop at ports of call like St. Maarten, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Grand Cayman, getting the chance to visit pristine beaches, explore vibrant markets, and learn rich cultural history. Step into nature’s arms and be rejuvenated in the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas or the lush rainforests of the Virgin Islands.

For those seeking a more energetic experience, the Mediterranean itineraries are particularly popular. These voyages visit iconic cities such as Barcelona, Rome, Santorini, and Dubrovnik. Picture yourself strolling through the ancient ruins of the Colosseum, enjoying the sunset over the whitewashed cliffs of Santorini, or savoring a glass of Spanish wine at a cozy café in Barcelona. These itineraries offer a rich blend of exploration and luxury, particularly for those with a deep interest in unearthing the cultural treasures of Europe.

Celebrity also boldly ventures into the Last Frontier. Its Alaskan itineraries are some of the most compelling and breathtaking on offer, including stops at charming small towns, up-close viewings of magnificent glaciers, and opportunities for majestic wildlife sightings. Stroll down the streets in Ketchikan, marveling at the candy-colored houses and idyllic scenery, give your taste buds a dose of the freshest salmon, caught only a few hours before appearing on your plate, and immerse yourself in the rich traditions of the Alaska Native population, learning their customs and ways of life from the people themselves.
