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.

After several years on the east coast, I felt the pull of warmer weather and moved to California. There, I shifted my focus to children's wear and became a buyer for the largest single-unit kidswear store in the country.
