Celebrity Cruises has unveiled Celebrity Edge, which it claims will ‘transform holidays at sea’.
The ship’s unique outward-facing design connects guests more closely to the ocean than ever before, including open-air plunge pools and 270 degree views, an outdoor Rooftop Garden, a Magic Carpet suspended from the side of the ship and the only place to peloton bike race at sea.
The Magic Carpet moves 14 decks up and down the exterior of the ship, offering different experiences ranging from an exclusive restaurant, Dinner on the Edge, to an embarkation lounge for the ship’s private luxury launches.
The 2,900-guest ship will be officially named and launched by UN Messenger of Peace and Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai on December 4.
Jo Rzymowska, vice president and managing director, Celebrity Cruises UK, Ireland and Asia, said: "Celebrity Edge has to be seen to be believed – there is simply no other holiday retreat at sea or on land like it.
The ship has 29 restaurants, cafes, bars and lounges, including Le Petit Chef, where dinner is brought to life through engaging digital animation.
Guests will also enjoy a generous spa and fitness centre, designed by Kelly Hoppen.
The ship is the first of four new vessels being delivered between now and 2022 including the second in the Edge-class, Celebrity Apex which will launch and be based in Southampton in spring 2020.
Celebrity Edge’s inaugural season of eastern and western Caribbean cruises begins on December 9.
