Celebrity Beyond is the third ship in the line’s Edge Series, joining Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Apex. The Edge class is known for its bright Magic Carpet, an exterior moving platform that is used as a restaurant, lounge, and more depending on which deck it’s on.

Sister ships Celebrity Edge and Apex also feature a three-story light-filled lounge/restaurant/bar called Eden, the largest swimming pool on any cruise ship, cabins with infinite verandas, and an upper deck Rooftop Garden. It’s not yet known just how similar Celebrity Beyond will be to her sister ships, but we anticipate she will also have these defining features.
