At 327m long and boasting 179 more suites and staterooms than her siblings, Celebrity Beyond is the latest ship to join Celebrity Cruises’ Edge class. Beyond is the third ship to launch in the fleet, after Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Apex. On Beyond, outdoor spaces are expanded and new ones added. The dream team of celebrity architects and designers who worked on the first two ships in the Edge class has been re-engaged to work on her. Together with the length of the new boat and the breadth of experiences Beyond offers, these tastemakers' and experts’ roles have been extended as well.
THE EDGE CLASS: SURPASSING STANDARDS
Celebrity Edge, the first of the Edge class ships, was launched in 2018. With her birth, the parent company Celebrity Cruises turned a new chapter in epic sea travel. In order to bring Edge to life, Celebrity Cruises revolutionised traditional shipbuilding methods.
Mega cruise liners are usually held together by a solid hull. The exoskeleton of a ship is placed on the outside and seals the frame of the ship. However, in an Edge class ship, the spine is moved to the center of the ship. This opens up the sides, allowing maximum light to reach the insides of the ship. It also frees up space around the ship, which Celebrity Cruises uses to create an unprecedented experience.
