Celebrity Apex has officially marked its debut homeporting in the UK and is the first of Celebrity’s Edge Series ships to call Southampton home.
The debut Southampton cruise season is underway with Apex departing on the first eight-night Norwegian Fjords cruise.
“We’re bringing one of our most innovative ships for Southampton cruises, providing guests the opportunity to sail in style directly from the UK,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises.
“It’s an exciting time as we elevate cruising from the region.”
The season will see a range of Southampton cruises head for Northern Europe and the Canary Islands until October 2024.
Apex sails four-to-13-night sailings including the 12-night Norwegian Fjords and Arctic Circle cruise.
In addition to Northern Europe, sailings take in Ibiza.
The ship offers guests 29 restaurants, bars, and lounges, the cantilevered venue ‘The Magic Carpet and a variety of entertainment offerings.
