Celebrity Cruises cuts first piece of steel for Celebrity Beyond

Celebrity Cruises has held the steel-cutting ceremony for the line’s third Edge-series ship Celebrity Beyond at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.

Royal Caribbean Cruises chairman and chief executive Richard Fain hailed Beyond, which will launch in autumn in 2021, as “the perfect natural step” for the Edge-series ships.

Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, the line’s president and chief executive, said: “With the launch of our Edge series, Celebrity Cruises redefined modern cruising.

“Celebrity Edge impressed the world with its outward-facing design and innovation; Celebrity Apex takes the onboard vacation experience to the pinnacle; and now with Celebrity Beyond, we’re charting new territory once again.”

Lutoff-Perlo was tight-lipped on details about the line’s third Edge series ship.

Celebrity Apex, the line’s second vessel, is due to be delivered by the same shipyard on March 20.
