The Story

The Celebrity Apex represents the pinnacle of modern ocean cruising, combining innovative design with the signature luxury Celebrity Cruises is known for. As part of the revolutionary Edge class, this 129,500-ton vessel launched in 2021 and accommodates 3,521 passengers across beautifully appointed spaces that blur the boundaries between indoors and out.

What sets Celebrity Apex apart is its focus on connecting passengers with the ocean itself. The ship's signature Magic Carpet—a cantilevered platform that moves up and down the ship's side—creates unique venues at different deck levels, from a specialty restaurant to a tender boarding platform. The resort-style deck spaces, the Rooftop Garden, and expansive suites with infinite verandas all emphasize open-air luxury. Dining options span from the elegant main dining rooms to specialty venues like Le Voyage (French cuisine) and Fine Cut Steakhouse, while the Retreat—an exclusive suite-class area—offers private lounging and dining spaces.

Celebrity Apex sails diverse itineraries that showcase both warm-weather escapes and cultural explorations. With departures from Southampton and Port Canaveral, the ship visits Mediterranean gems, Caribbean islands, Mexican ports, and various European destinations. Whether you're drawn to the ancient history of the Mediterranean, the beaches of the Caribbean, or the charm of European coastal cities, Celebrity Apex delivers a sophisticated experience. The ship appeals to travelers who appreciate contemporary design, elevated dining, and attentive service without the formality of traditional cruising.

With 61 upcoming sailings and prices starting from $764, there's never been a better time to experience this exceptional vessel. Browse available voyages and connect with fellow Celebrity Apex enthusiasts to start planning your next ocean adventure.
