Worth Knowing First

A Large Ship

Celebrity Edge carries around 3,260 guests. This is a mass-market ship, not the small-ship luxury we usually place. We include it because no other line we work with reaches these islands, and because a big ship genuinely suits some travellers.

The Retreat

A private suite enclave within the ship, with its own restaurant, lounge, sundeck and butler service. If you want the ship without the crowd, this is where we would put you. Sky Suites from $15,573 per person.

The Fare

What’s Included

One fare, most of it in. Here is exactly where the line sits.

In Every Fare We Quote

We quote Celebrity one way only: the All Included fare. Classic drinks, wi-fi and all gratuities are in, alongside your stateroom, all main dining, room service, entertainment, the pools and port taxes. No drinks packages to bolt on later, no tip envelope maths.

On Top

Speciality restaurants, premium drinks, spa and shore excursions remain a la carte, and air from the United States is the largest single cost on this trip. We price the whole journey, air included, before you commit.

Your Ship

Celebrity Edge

A large, modern ship with a genuine suite enclave inside it. Know which of those two things you are buying.

Celebrity Edge at sea
Big Ship, Private Enclave
3,260 Guests · 16 Decks · Launched 2018

Edge is the ship that introduced the cantilevered Magic Carpet and the Infinite Veranda, where the whole window drops to turn the cabin into an open balcony. The Retreat is the part we would steer you to: a separate suite complex with Luminae restaurant, a private lounge and its own sundeck, effectively a small ship living inside a large one.

  • The Retreat: private restaurant, lounge, sundeck and butler service
  • Infinite Veranda staterooms that open the room to the sea
  • Far more dining, bars and entertainment than a small ship can carry

Every stateroom fare above is Celebrity's All Included fare, with classic drinks, wi-fi and gratuities already in, including taxes and fees, pulled from our booking engine for the 2 January 2027 departure. Solo is the total for one guest; per person is based on double occupancy. Celebrity prices the Retreat suites as a suite fare with beverages and wi-fi arranged at booking, so those six rows show the suite fare and we confirm the fully inclusive figure when we hold your suite. Fares move with demand.
