Celebrity Cruises is proud to announce the latest addition to its industry-transforming Edge Series – Celebrity Ascent. The fourth ship in the series was officially floated out from the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, marking the completion of the ship’s hull and exterior superstructure. The exciting debut of Celebrity Ascent is set for December 2023.
Designed by a team of modern lifestyle icons, including Kelly Hoppen CBE, Nate Berkus, Jouin Manku, Tom Wright, and Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, Celebrity Ascent promises to be the “twin sister” of Celebrity Beyond, which received rave reviews after its launch last spring.
“Celebrity Ascent will be the embodiment of a relaxed luxury resort at sea,” says Celebrity Cruises President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo. “The collaboration between the shipyard and Celebrity teams has been extraordinary, and I am grateful for their passion and expertise.”
Travelers aboard Celebrity Ascent will experience signature amenities found exclusively on Edge Series ships, including:
- Transformational accommodations, including two-story Edge Villas with access to The Retreat Sun Deck, and Infinite Veranda staterooms that transform into open-air balconies.
- Awe-inspiring views from the iconic Magic Carpet and the ship’s unique design.
- A pinnacle of relaxation, design, and luxury, starting with a Sunset Bar designed by Nate Berkus and a Resort Deck with cabanas, infinity-edge pools, and Martini-shaped hot tubs.
- A culinary journey, featuring more than 30 food and drink venues, including the Le Petit Chef Dinner Experience, Eden Restaurant, and Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud.
Celebrity Ascent is now mooring in her new location at the shipyard, where interior work will commence and continue over the next few months. Momentum and anticipation are building for this next installation in the groundbreaking Edge Series, and we can’t wait to share all the exciting experiences waiting for guests onboard Celebrity Ascent.
