Celebrity Cruises Launches Preview Sailings for New Ship Ascent

Celebrity Cruises is providing travelers with two exclusive preview sailings before the official maiden voyage of the brand-new Celebrity Ascent, the fourth ship in the industry-transforming Edge Series.

The two new sailings include a four-night Western Caribbean itinerary departing Port Everglades on November 22, 2023, and taking guests to Cozumel, Mexico, over the Thanksgiving holiday. The other is a three-night Bahamas cruise departing Port Everglades on November 26, 2023, and visiting Nassau, Bahamas.

“This ship is going to be beautiful beyond words – truly the embodiment of a relaxed luxury resort at sea – and I’m thrilled to be able to offer travelers a sneak peek of all that she offers,” Celebrity Cruises president and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo says. “These sampler sailings will cement in our guests’ hearts that the experience onboard a Celebrity ship goes beyond being a traditional cruise line, and they will definitely leave them wanting more in the year ahead!”

Celebrity Ascent is the “twin sister” of Celebrity Beyond and is designed by a team of modern lifestyle icons, including multi-award-winning British designer Kelly Hoppen CBE; celebrated American designer Nate Berkus; lauded Paris-based design firm Jouin Manku; innovative British architect Tom Wright; and Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud.

Guests aboard Celebrity Ascent will enjoy signature experiences found exclusively onboard a Celebrity Cruises Edge Series ship, including two-story Edge Villa staterooms with direct access to the exclusive suite-only The Retreat Sun Deck as Infinite Veranda staterooms that transform into open-air verandas, among the largest at sea. It also features awe-inspiring views from the iconic Magic Carpet – the world’s first cantilevered cruise ship experience, and from bow to stern due to the unique outward-facing ship design. Guests can also experience a sprawling Nate Berkus-designed Sunset Bar, a world-class Resort Deck with exclusive cabanas, infinity-edge plunge pools and two-story Martini-shaped hot tubs.

Culinary offerings include more than 30 distinct food and drink venues, including the high-tech, immersive Le Petit Chef Dinner Experience; the Eden Restaurant offering its three-story floor-to-ceiling windows, inventive, mixology-focused cocktails and unforgettable globally-inspired dishes from around the world; and the incomparable Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud, featuring the most exquisite cuisine at sea.
