Production of
Celebrity Cruises next generation of cruise ships is underway, as the cruise line announced its shift from concept to construction this week in France.
The first piece of steel for Celebrity Cruises new cruise ship, Celebrity Edge, was cut this week at the STX Shipyard in France. The ship, which is the first of the new Celebrity Edge class, is expected to be the cruise lines biggest and boldest ship yet.
The new Celebrity Edge class will bring daring design advances and exciting innovations, signifying a major transition for the cruise line since the launch of its Solstice Class of ships in 2008.
Royal Caribbean Cruises LTD Chairman and CEO, Richard D. Fain said of the new class “Edge Class is destined to be a trailblazer in modern luxury travel. The new ships will be on the cutting edge of innovation and the leading edge of design, so the ship names are spot on and offer a sense of how Celebrity Cruises is looking into the future”.
Celebrity Edge will be joined by sister ship Celebrity Beyond in spring 2020. Plans have been revealed for a further two ships to join Edge Class by 2022. Stay tuned for further updates.
