Celebrity Cruises unveils new features on Apex

Celebrity Cruises has unveiled more details about the onboard features for upcoming ship, Celebrity Apex.

Apex, sister ship to Celebrity Edge, will be named in Southampton in March, making it the first Celebrity ship to be launched in the UK in more than a decade.

Like Edge, Apex will feature a ‘Magic Carpet’, the floating platform which can move up and down the side of the vessel and serves as a bar, restaurant and a tender platform; The Retreat, an exclusive area for suite guests; and two-story Edge Villas with their own private terrace and plunge pool.

New features and changes include a casual bar area, Craft Social Bar, which also features on Celebrity Equinox. It will offer 50 of the world’s “rarest craft beers” served by a certified beer sommelier, as well as casual meals.

Apex will be officially launched on March 30 before sailing a mini-season of five European itineraries and a new 10-night Capital Cities Cruise.

The ship will spend the rest of the summer sailing seven to 12-night itineraries in the Mediterranean, before repositioning to Fort Lauderdale in November for a winter season of week-long Caribbean sailings.

More than 1,000 agents will get the chance to see Apex on two pre-inaugural sailings on March 28 and March 30 departing out of Southampton.
