Renowned for being one of the cruise industry’s greatest innovators, Celebrity Cruises is the perfect cruise line for those who love big ship facilities but want a more discerning crowd. The company’s latest ships - known as the Edge-class - have cemented its reputation as one of the most forward-thinking cruise lines in the world. The ships have cabins and suites designed by British designer Kelly Hoppen who is known for her clean lines and natural tones. In the public areas there are a number of never-before-seen features, like the Magic Carpet, an external platform that acts as an outdoor bar space (with incredible views of the ocean) and Eden, 11,800 square feet of ever-changing events space that looks out on the ever-changing ocean.

Who is a Celebrity Cruise for? 

One of the benefits of having so many facilities onboard is that a Celebrity Cruises holiday appeals to everyone. There are kids’ clubs for families, casinos for card sharks and romantic hideaways for couples. 

Really, what sets Celebrity Cruises apart is the modern luxury ethos that it specialises in. This is a large, resort-style cruise line but one that is more luxurious than its mass-market competitors.
