In the spring of 2020, Celebrity Cruises will launch the second ship in its highly-lauded Edge series. With luxurious accommodations, dining that rivals the best on land, and an unparalleled commitment to service, Celebrity Apex provides guests with the best that modern cruise travel has to offer. One of the ship's most innovative features is its movable deck, or Magic Carpet. The cantilevered deck hovers over the water off the side of the ship and travels up and down over 16 decks, its function changing as it moves. When on Deck 2, the Magic Carpet is a tender platform for passengers waiting for transfer to shore; while stopped on Deck 5, it becomes an open-air extension of Raw on Five, the ship's go-to spot for sushi and oysters.
The innovation doesn't stop with the Magic Carpet. Celebrity has gone above and beyond to design a ship that truly breaks the mold. The Rooftop Garden on Deck 15 is covered with lush greenery and treetop sculptures meant to evoke childhood play areas. The ship's accommodations have also reached a new level of luxury thanks to their Suite Class rooms, which include a two-story villa with a private plunge pool. The ship's cutting-edge Infinite Verandas, which are available in Aqua Class, Concierge Class, and other Edge Staterooms, provide access to the ocean breeze at the touch of a button. Staterooms at every level feature sophisticated design elements and Celebrity's eXhale bedding and Cashmere Mattresses.
