Celebrity Edge

Because Edge was designed in 3D, her supports were moved to open the Resort Deck to wide, unobstructed sea views. The main pool is big enough for laps, with a shallow edge where loungers sit right in the water. Two champagne-glass hot tubs perch above the deck, and a split walking and jogging track loops two decks in a figure eight, running through the Rooftop Garden. Private cabanas (extra cost) and the Mast Grill sit close by.

The Magic Carpet is a cantilevered platform that rides up and down the side of the ship, and Edge was the first ship to have one. Up top it’s a bar with lounge seating and big ocean views. On Deck 5 it becomes an open-air extension of Raw on 5 for dinner. On tender days it drops to the waterline, and guests wait in a large air-conditioned space before stepping onto more comfortable, air-conditioned tenders.

The Rooftop Garden is filled with live plants, butterfly sculptures and quiet nooks, with a stage and a big screen for movies and parties under the stars. In one corner, the Rooftop Garden Grill serves backyard barbecue with an international twist (extra cost). Just aft, the Sunset Bar wraps the back of the ship with seating that faces the wake, plus a separate open-air smoking area. It’s the spot for sail away.

The Retreat is Celebrity’s ship-within-a-ship for guests in Sky Suites and above. The Retreat Sundeck has daybeds, cabanas, a pool with hanging bird’s-nest loungers, a hot tub and its own bar and lunch restaurant, with food and drinks included. The Retreat Lounge offers breakfast, afternoon tea and evening bites, plus a concierge team. Luminae serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with signature dishes from Daniel Boulud. Edge Villa guests can step straight onto the sundeck.

Edge’s spa covers massages, facials, a Medi-Spa, acupuncture, a salon and a barber shop. The thermal suite at the front of the ship has heated loungers facing the sea, a float room, a large infrared sauna, a crystal room, a Himalayan salt room, an experience shower, an aroma steam room and a hammam. Access is included for AquaClass and Aqua Sky Suite guests, and anyone else can buy a pass. Next door, the adults-only Solarium has an indoor pool and Spa Cafe.

Eden spans three decks at the back of the ship, wrapped in glass and filled with living plants. Celebrity calls it a room that lives. Mornings bring coffee, days bring activities and gatherings, and evenings turn it into a playful lounge with a bar, piano and dance floor. Eden Café serves soups, sandwiches and coffee, and Eden Restaurant (extra cost) offers creative dishes and tasting menus from an open kitchen. A catwalk circles the glass overhead.

The Grand Plaza is the heart of Edge, a three-deck space with the Martini Bar at its center, where bartenders put on flair shows. It hosts coffee in the morning, live music and dancing at night. Around it sit Café al Bacio, Le Grand Bistro, Fine Cut Steakhouse for prime cuts and seafood, and Raw on 5, with sushi, sashimi, a raw bar and a signature lobster roll. Specialty restaurants are an extra cost.

Instead of one big dining room, Edge has four complimentary main restaurants: Tuscan (Italian), Normandie (contemporary French), Cyprus (Mediterranean) and Cosmopolitan (New American, with a walk-through wine display). They share a classic menu and a rotating menu that changes nightly, and each adds its own signature dishes. You choose early, late or flexible Celebrity Select Dining. The Oceanview Café adds a casual buffet with a bakery, pizza and rotating global stations.
