The third ship of the luxurious and currently newest Edge class exceeds all expectations. After the sister ship Celebrity Edge was named one of the "World's greatest Places" by Time Magazine in 2019, Celebrity Beyond is now expanding the fleet. One of the great highlights of this ship is the Magic Carpet, a platform that can be moved over 13 decks. Depending on which deck the magic carpet is on, it can serve as an extension of the restaurant, the pool area or the embarkation station. During the day as well as in the evening, the Rooftop Garden is a hotspot on board. The christening ceremony of Celebrity Beyond was held in November 2022. The godmother is the well-known and succesful gymnast Simone Biles. What's also special about Celebrity Beyond is the art collection on board, which includes 4,500 works of art. One highlight is the sculpture on the pool deck depicting a man balancing a white elephant.
The Celebrity fleet, marked by an X on the chimney, combines the best aspects of elegant cruises with a modern lifestyle on their ships. The great routes around the world and the international atmosphere are particularly interesting for experienced cruisers. 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 in the Celebrity fleet impress in their classic style. The Edge class, on the other hand, also impresses trend-conscious audiences with its innovative design.
All staterooms are spacious and cozy as well as very comfortably furnished. A high amount of staterooms is equipped with Infinite Verandas. The bathrooms in the staterooms on the Celebrity Beyond are around 10 % larger than on the ships of the Solstice class. There are also two additional suite categories, like on its predecessor Celebrity Edge: on the one hand the approx. 241 sqm Iconic Suites with a 270-degree view from the veranda above the ship's bridge and on the other hand the Edge Villas, which extend over two decks have a private plunge pool.
For wellness lovers, the ship also offers the AquaClass® staterooms and suites. AquaClass cabin amenities are inspired by spa elements and include an assortment of pillows to choose from, exclusive eXhale bedding, fluffy cotton bathrobes and slippers, a massage showerhead, eco-friendly bath products, on-demand wellness programming on your cabin TV, yoga mats, bottled water provided daily and an upgraded air filtration system now available in all cabins.
Another highlight for all Aqua Class Sky suite guests is the exclusive access to The Retreat®, which includes a restaurant, an outdoor area with a pool, a bar and a lounge.
Guests of all ages feel at home on this elegant ship. The 45 to 65 year old age group is most strongly represented. This varies depending on the area of travel. Celebrity Beyond is an international ship with mostly American, English and French passengers.
The excellent cuisine is one of the shipping company's quality features. The luxurious main restaurant offers multi-course menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But you can also enjoy a special culinary experience in the specialty restaurants. Do you like to keep things casual? No problem - some cafés and bistros also have a great selection for you to choose from.

Another special feature is the many interesting lectures about the ports of call. The spa offers numerous pampering and beauty treatments for a fee. A highlight for sports lovers is the jogging track with a fascinating view over the sea. The large pool area with a length of more than 22 metres as well as several whirlpools on deck invites you to swim and bathe afterwards. The new trend sport "pickleball" is also offered on board. The ship has been equipped with the appropriate court for this. You can play individually or take part in smaller tournaments. The new retreats on the pool deck, affectionately called cabanas, offer a wonderful sea view in a private atmosphere.
With the best local experts, you can make your Celebrity Cruise extra special. With culinary discovery tours, private tours that become a very exclusive experience and even multi-day excursions, Celebrity can offer you everything you could wish for. You can book your shore excursion online or directly on board before the cruise begins.
The Celebrity Beyond offers you cruises on a large, luxurious ship at very attractive conditions. The service is outstanding, and the impressive cuisine and service are two hallmarks of Celebrity Cruises. The additional costs on board (tips, drinks, treatments in the Aqua Spa, etc.) are, as usual on American ships, higher than on many German ships. The audience is international. Overall, you can expect a professionally organized cruise experience of very good quality.
