Soaring High: The Magic of Celebrity Cruises’ Magic Carpet
A closer look at the Magic Carpet onboard Celebrity Cruises Edge Series ships. This dynamic venue is cantilevered off the side of the ship and moves between decks, morphing into different experiences depending on location.
Cruising has always been about breathtaking views and innovative experiences, but Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series ships take this to a whole new level with the awe-inspiring Magic Carpet. If you’ve ever dreamed of dining on air or enjoying a cocktail while seemingly suspended over the ocean, then this architectural marvel is something you absolutely need to experience.
The Magic Carpet is an incredible feat of engineering; a floating platform that travels up and down between the decks, transforming into different venues depending on its location. Imagine a seamless blend of entertainment, dining, and stunning vistas, all in one dynamic space.
Dining With a View
When on Deck 5, The Magic Carpet extends out to become an al fresco dining experience for specialty restaurants, offering an unparalleled open-air setting. Here guests can enjoy a gourmet meal with a sea breeze and endless ocean panoramas.
A “High” Bar Experience
When positioned on Deck 16, it transforms into an extension of the main pool deck, serving as a vibrant bar and lounge area. It’s the perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks or simply unwinding with a refreshing cocktail while taking in the ship’s surroundings.
Seamless Embarkation & Disembarkation
On Deck 2, the Magic Carpet provides an innovative and comfortable tender platform, making the process of getting on and off the ship at port calls a much smoother and more pleasant experience.
Versatility Between Decks
The beauty of the Magic Carpet lies in its versatility. As it moves between decks, it offers guests completely different perspectives of the ship and the ocean. The Magic Carpet redefines what’s possible on a cruise ship, offering an open-air experience that connects you directly with the majesty of the sea.
The Magic Carpet can be found on all the Edge Series ships in the fleet, including the highly anticipated Celebrity Xcel, arriving in November 2025.
