Celebrity Cruises’ newest and most luxurious ship, Celebrity Beyond, successfully completes sea trials

The height of new luxury took one step closer to becoming a reality as Celebrity BeyondSM successfully completed her sea trials over the weekend and returned to the Chantiers de l’ Atlantique shipyard in Saint Nazaire, France. In less than 80 days, the fleet’s crown jewel makes her highly anticipated debut on 27th April 2022, when she sets sail from Southampton, England.

The latest ship in Celebrity Cruises®’ industry-changing Edge Series®, Celebrity Beyond conducted her sea trials during the first week of February in the Bay of Biscay near the shipyard. Overseen by more than 50 crew members, including Captain Kate McCue, engineers and nautical experts,  the ship showcased that its strength, excellence and superb sailing capabilities go beyond its breathtaking amenities. It displayed a superior level of comfort, safety, manoeuvrability and fuel efficiency, the latter due in part to the revolutionary design of the ship’s Parabolic Ultrabow.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to have completed this important milestone as it brings us that much closer to welcoming our guests onboard to enjoy their own ‘Journey WonderFULLSM,’ on Celebrity Beyond,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. “Beyond showed why there is so much more to her than just her looks. Like her sister ships – Celebrity ApexSMand Celebrity Edge® – she went beyond what was needed to demonstrate she’s ready.”

“Successfully completing these sea trials was a thrill of a lifetime for me,” said Celebrity Beyond‘s captain, Captain Kate McCue. “Her smooth sailing and manoeuvrability is a testament to her innovative design and I can’t wait to take the helm of this awe-inspiring ship and take our guests to equally beautiful destinations.”

Celebrity Beyond will not only hold the title of the largest ship in the Celebrity Cruises’ fleet, but the distinction as the brand’s most luxurious vessel.

Standing at 17 decks high and 21 meters longer than her innovative predecessors Celebrity Edge (2018) and Celebrity Apex (2020), Celebrity Beyond‘s look and feel has been carefully curated with newly imagined spaces and expanded versions of the brand’s popular signature spaces, including:

  • The Retreat®, an exclusive area for suite guests, now featuring a two-storey sundeck;
  • Transformational accommodations, from modern two-storey villas with plunge pools to staterooms with infinite balconies, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living;
  • An expanded Rooftop Garden and stunning resort deck featuring cantilevered float pools;
  • A stunning multi-level, multi-terraced Sunset Bar, defining the ship’s aft, from American designer Nate Berkus;
  • A first-ever Daniel Boulud fine-dining restaurant at sea called Le Voyage;
  • A redesigned Grand Plaza spanning three decks and flanked by the new World Class Bar and Le Voyage;
  • And, the Magic Carpet®, an engineering feat soaring cantilevered above the sea, offering guests uninterrupted vistas while sipping cocktails or having dinner.
     

Celebrity Beyond will depart on her maiden voyage on 27th April 2022 from Southampton, England, on a 10-night Western Europe cruise visiting Bordeaux, France; Lisbon, Portugal; and Seville, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona, Spain.

She will then offer a variety of Mediterranean journeys including nine-night Italian Riviera and France itineraries and 10-night Greek Isles itineraries through early October, when she then heads to the Caribbean. For more information on all of Celebrity Beyond‘s 2022-2023 inaugural season sailings, visit www.celebritycruises.com/gb/cruise-ships/celebrity-beyond.

To help agents sell incredible holidays at sea across Celebrity Cruises’ award-winning fleet, Leon Hand, Training Manager, has today released a new suite of training videos for agents, including one specifically for the line’s newest Edge Series ship, Celebrity Beyond. Travel Partners can draw on a suite of topics from Celebrity Cruises’ Always Included offering, with drinks, Wi-Fi, and tips included with every booking; to The Retreat; learning more about Generation X; and Celebrity Central. Agents can discover more at Celebrity Central: www.celebritycentral.co.uk/.
