Celebrity Ascent

The Celebrity Cruises fleet, marked by an X on the chimney, combines the best sides of elegant cruises with a modern lifestyle. The worldwide routes and the international atmosphere are especially interesting for experienced cruise guests. Although it is casual and relaxed during the day, the dress code Smart Casual is expected at the so-called Chic Evenings. Most of the ships of the ships are designed very classy. The Solstice class, on the other hand, convinces the trend-conscious public with its innovative design. The ships of the new, modern Edge class are expanding the fleet. For German guests there are menus and with sufficient participants also shore excursions in German.

The Celebrity Ascent is the sister ship of the Celebrity Beyond and was built at the shipyard "Chantiers de l'Atlantique". The Celebrity Ascent's godparents are the siblings Sandy Yawn ("Below Deck") and Michelle Dunham (founder of the Jacksonville School for Autism). Also taking the helm as captains are  a pair of siblings: brothers Dmitrios and Tasos Kafetzis. Celebrity Ascent is the fourth ship in the innovative Edge class and stands out for its relaxed luxury. Here too, as on the sister ships, you can find the "Magic Carpet," the free-floating platform on the starboard side. The exclusive area for suite guests, "The Retreat," again runs across two decks. The Celebrity Ascent has 17 decks, is 327 meters long and 39 meters wide. It can accommodate up to 3,260 guests.
