BY AVERY BREDESEN

RECOGNIZED BY TIME MAGAZINE AS ONE OF THE “WORLD’S GREATEST PLACES” IN 2019, THE FIRST CELEBRITY EDGE SERIES SHIP WAS CELEBRATED FOR ITS INDUSTRY-BENDING ARCHITECTURE AND OTHERWORLDLY INTERIORS DESIGNED TO BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUT. With the success of Celebrity Edge ® , Celebrity launched two more Edge ® Series ships: Celebrity Apex (2021) and Celebrity Beyond (April 2022) . The fourth Edge Series ship, Celebrity Ascent , debuts December 2023. And with the introduction of The Retreat experience — an artful fusion of luxury suites, private spaces, and stellar amenities — a truly luxurious adventure on the high seas with Celebrity Cruises awaits.

Sweet Suites

Edge Series suites are outfitted in Zen-like décor, as Celebrity Cruises enlists some of the world’s best designers to focus on your comfort, down to the smallest detail. The Iconic Suite features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dining and living space with panoramic views from atop the captain’s bridge.

Edge Villa’s two-story residences boast private terraces with plunge pools, and Penthouse Suites have plenty of space for families to spread out.

A plethora of other specially designed suite options with varying inspirational interiors are available and differ slightly from ship to ship. All, however, deliver a luxurious home-awayfrom-home at sea, with Celebrity’s bespoke mattresses and super-soft bedding, exclusive bath amenities, fluffy towels, and plush robes.

The Retreat

It isn’t a place. It isn’t an amenity. It isn’t a service. The Retreat is like a getaway within a getaway — an intimate, up-leveled cruising experience. With spacious and welldesigned accommodations, a private restaurant helmed by award-winning Chef Daniel Boulud, and an exclusive sundeck and lounge, The Retreat is the ultimate catalyst to true luxury at sea.

Intuitive service ensures everything you need for the ultimate vacation is right at your fingertips. Your Retreat Concierge is on-hand to book spa treatments, deliver a Peloton Bike for an in-suite workout, or arrange for Private Journey excursions. With 24/7 in-room dining and butler service, you can rise and shine to enjoy coffee on your private veranda or overlook the ocean from floor-to-ceiling suite windows before imbibing in savory cocktails and bar bites at the sundeck (between dips in the jacuzzi). By night, enjoy a delicious dinner at the private Luminae restaurant before reserved theater seating for evening entertainment.
