WHO’S IT FOR?

As with all Celebrity ships, the

Edge

will certainly appeal to those who

enjoy the finer things in life. But this ship delivers more than luxury:

With a host of first-in-the-industry features, the

Edge

should be at the

top of the wish list for new and veteran cruisers who want a glimpse

into the future of oceangoing voyages.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

Thanks to Michelin-starred chef Cornelius Gallagher, who oversees

menus for Celebrity’s entire fleet, no matter which ship you’re on,

the meals are impeccable. Aboard the

Edge

, the dining venues are

equally magnificent. The most intriguing may be what’s known as

Dinner on the Edge. It’s an alternative evening restaurant set at the

very top of the ship in the moving, multipurpose Magic Carpet, the

world’s first cantilevered, floating platform that reaches heights of

13 stories above sea level. The Eden Restaurant, with

unparalleled ocean views, and Rooftop Garden Grill, sit-

uated amid living green space, are also sure to impress.

HOW TO SPEND THE DAYS AT SEA?

The

Celebrity Edge

isn’t just a new vessel; it’s a new

philosophy. Whereas the vast majority of cruise ships

inherently focus passenger attention inward, the

Edge

was purposefully designed with outward-facing

spaces so that travelers can connect with the ocean

and maximize views of each approaching destination.

The centerpiece is Eden. It comprises three stories of

windows and a nearly 12,000-square-foot expanse

that transforms from a casual morning sitting area to a

space for afternoon cooking classes and wine-tasting

seminars to Eve at Eden, a blend of experiential cuisine mixed with

innovative live performances and nightlife. The Magic Carpet is trans-

formational, too, as the platform moves from deck to deck. When

positioned on deck 2, it’s a dock for shore excursions. It provides

seating for alfresco dining on deck 5, and has a cool cocktail bar for

lounging around the pool on deck 14.

HOW TO SPEND THE DAYS IN PORT?

Puerto Rico is a fascinating destination with wide-ranging excursions,

from zip-line tours at La Marquesa Forest Park to learning how to

mix the ultimate mojito during a trip to Casa Bacardí with the ship’s

onboard mixology expert. Go snorkeling in the tranquil waters around

Tortola. St. Maarten’s beaches are beautiful, but it’s the cuisine that

makes this island truly stand out. Book one of the food tours to taste

for yourself.
