Celebrity Cruises Celebrates Construction Milestone On Celebrity Ascent

A ceremonial coin was welded to a massive steel docking block forming the keel of Celebrity’s newest Edge Series vessels – the Celebrity Ascent. According to legend – and a tradition that has spanned centuries – the laying of the coin is thought to bless and bring good fortune to the ship.

Celebrity Ascent is the fourth ship in the line’s ground-breaking Edge Series, a class of ships regarded industry-wide as engineering and design marvels.  Standing at 17 decks tall and 20 meters longer than the original Celebrity Edge, Ascent will feature more space and luxury onboard than her Edge Series predecessors.

Celebrity Ascent will debut in Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades on December 3, 2023 for her inaugural Caribbean season of alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries.
