Experience the best of Celebrity Cruises’ South Pacific sailings on their innovative Edge Series vessels.
Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series ships embrace innovation to the fullest – from upgraded rooms to culinary creations to exclusive venues. Even better, these next-level vessels are scheduled to sail around the South Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand, taking guests to breathtaking ports of call all cruise long.

Visit Incredible Ports of Call
A voyage through the South Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand on Celebrity Cruises is every cruiser’s dream. From the blissful islands to the rich culture to the otherworldly natural landscapes, every port of call will intrigue and enchant. Say hello to Tasmanian devils in Hobart, Tasmania; explore hidden cave pools in Apia, Samoa; feel transported to The Lord of the Rings’ Middle Earth in Waikato, New Zealand; and take a tour of the iconic Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia, just to start.

Relax In Upgraded Rooms
After spending days in port sightseeing, shopping, and exploring to your heart’s content, you’ll need a place to call your home away from home. Luckily, each vessel in the Edge Series offers cruising accommodations that are truly next-level. Depending on your needs, choose between adjoining staterooms with seemingly Infinite Verandas®, a budget-friendly single stateroom designed with solo travelers in mind, or an extravagant two-story family villa with nearly 1,000 square feet of space, a private plunge pool, and two full bathrooms.

Eat Your Way Around
Both in port and aboard the Edge Series ships, you’ll have access to loads of food-focused experiences. On land, there are countless food-focused excursions, where you can enjoy everything from the ubiquitous Melbourne coffee culture to a traditional Fijian kava ceremony. Back onboard your Celebrity Cruises ship, dozens of eateries await your tastebuds as well. Enjoy casual French favorites at Le Grand Bistro, splurge on elevated international bites at Le Voyage by Daniel Bouloud, or grab a fun cocktail at the aptly named Martini Bar. And of course, don’t miss the four main restaurants, Cosmopolitan, Normandie, Cyprus, and Tuscan each offer signature dishes inspired by the iconic regions they visit.

Defy Gravity on the Magic Carpet
The Magic Carpet may be one of the coolest innovations aboard any modern-day cruise ship. This huge deck hangs over the side of each Edge Series ship, seeming to defy gravity. More than that, this jaw-dropping feature has elevator-like capabilities, moving from the top deck of the ship to the bottom one, seamlessly traveling up and down as needed. Depending on which floor it’s stationed on at any given time, the Magic Carpet can be used for anything from tendering to dining to poolside sun lounging.
