About Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises sits at the premium tier of the cruise market — above mainstream lines but below ultra-luxury, offering a sophisticated, design-forward experience that appeals to discerning travellers. The Edge class ships — Celebrity Edge, Apex, Beyond, and Ascent — are among the most architecturally striking vessels ever built, featuring the iconic Magic Carpet (a floating platform that moves between decks), the Rooftop Garden, and The Retreat — a luxury ship-within-a-ship with butler service and exclusive amenities.

Why Choose Celebrity Cruises?

Celebrity is the ideal choice for travellers who want a premium experience without the ultra-luxury price tag. The Edge class ships are genuinely beautiful, the cuisine is outstanding, and The Retreat offers butler service and exclusive amenities at a fraction of dedicated luxury line prices.
