Celebrity Cruises is adding to its fleet.
Parent Royal Caribbean Group just signed an agreement with Chantiers de l’Atlantique for a sixth Edge Series ship for delivery in 2028.
Edge 6 or the ‘Xcel 2’ will become the sister-ship to Celebrity Xcel, which launches in November this year.
The other Edge Series ships include Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Apex, and Celebrity Edge.
“Celebrity’s Edge Series has redefined premium travel at sea, blending groundbreaking design and guest experiences. Each ship in this award-winning series has set a new standard for the industry,” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group.
The Edge Series ships have unique guest features like the iconic Magic Carpet – the first cantilevered, floating platform at sea.
Other firsts introduced by Celebrity’s Edge Series ships include Infinite Veranda staterooms.
Royal Caribbean Group’s newbuild pipeline currently includes a total of eight ships on order.
This year, the company will welcome two new ships including Royal Caribbean International’s Star of the Seas and Celebrity Xcel.
