Celebrity Apex

Overview

new coming “"Outward Facing Design"” Or consider designs that focus on facing the sea, unlike traditional cruise ships that often emphasize activities inside the vessel. This design aims to break down the barriers between guests and the ocean views, creating a deeper emotional and sensory connection.

Key Highlights

1.1 Magic Carpet Innovation: An adjustable floating platform.

One of the most iconic symbols of the Edge Series family and ship. Celebrity Apex is Magic Carpet This is considered a world first in marine engineering. The platform is a cantilevered, floating platform about the size of a tennis court, extending from the side of the ship, and can be raised and lowered up to 13 levels. 1

The importance of Magic Carpet lies not only in its aesthetic engineering, but also in... “"Transformational Utility" In other words, the function of this area changes depending on the floor it's parked on:

  • On the 2nd floor: Serving as a “Destination Gateway,” it transforms the often cumbersome and inconvenient boarding and disembarking experience (tendering) into a luxurious lounge seamlessly connected to the edge launches. 4
  • On the 5th floor: It has become an extension of the Raw on 5 restaurant, offering an outdoor Al Fresco seafood dining experience. 4
  • On the 14th floor: It has become an extension of the main swimming pool area, providing a resort-like atmosphere with expansive ocean views. 4
  • On the 16th floor: It has become a special restaurant, “Dinner on the Edge,” offering a unique stargazing dining experience at the highest point of the ship. 4

This design reflects a clever architectural solution, transforming technical structures into visually appealing and revenue-generating selling points.

1.2 The Retreat concept: Ship-Within-A-Ship

Celebrity Apex elevates the Suite Class experience to a private sanctuary called The Retreat. This space is more than just a room; it's an enclosed area with comprehensive amenities comparable to a 5-star or 6-star resort.

A key highlight of The Retreat on the Celebrity Apex, elevating it beyond its predecessors, is its more spacious common areas, most notably The Retreat Sundeck, a private deck featuring a swimming pool (unlike the Edge family of ships) and jacuzzi, along with personalized butler service. Furthermore, guests in this zone enjoy truly “all-inclusive” benefits, such as premium beverage packages, high-speed internet, and gratuities, all included in the room rate.

1.3 Infinite Veranda Room

Room design Infinite Veranda This design revolutionizes traditional ship balcony aesthetics. Instead of a door separating the bedroom from the exterior balcony, the architects integrated the balcony space into the cabin using electrically operated vertical sliding windows. When closed, the balcony transforms into an air-conditioned sunroom, increasing the usable space inside the cabin by 23% compared to Solstice Class vessels. 2 This design caters to travelers who want more usable space and an unobstructed, up-close view of the sea.

1.4 Entertainment and cutting-edge technology.
