Explore Europe with Celebrity throughout 2023

The three groundbreaking Edge® ships (also including Celebrity Apex® and Celebrity Beyond®) have taken Celebrity’s outward-facing design even further, to enhance your connection with the sea and your destinations. The length of the ships were extended to create even more room for incredible outdoor spaces.

This summer also sees a number of Southampton round trips that mean you can forget all about airports and baggage restrictions. The much-loved Celebrity Silhouette sailing out of Southampton was given a sparkling modern makeover in 2020 and now includes the new cool Craft Social Bar, gorgeous transformed staterooms, exciting new designer boutiques, and new treatment rooms in its lovely spa.
