As the second ship in the groundbreaking Edge Series, Celebrity Apex redefines ocean travel with its innovative outward-facing design and visionary spaces that set new standards at sea. Onboard, guests will enjoy elevated cruising experiences with enhanced dining options, luxurious spa and wellness amenities, and high-energy entertainment comparable to top land-based performances.

From May through October 2024, Celebrity Apex will offer a range of itineraries from Southampton, including four-to-13-night voyages to breathtaking destinations in Northern Europe and the Canary Islands. Notable sailings include a 12-night Norwegian Fjords and Arctic Circle cruise, showcasing the region's awe-inspiring natural beauty.
