Hi everyone, I'm Nate Berkus, Celebrity Cruises Design Ambassador
and I'm honored to be sharing the news of the latest breakthrough in modern luxury travel.
Celebrity has continually pushed the travel industry forward with their stunning ships
and once again, they're setting the standard for modern cruising.
I couldn't be more proud to introduce Celebrity Edge,
a revolutionary new cruise concept designed to shatter expectations.
Edge is not just another ship. It's a statement about the future of travel.
Design has always been my passion but travel is my inspiration,
and Celebrity Edge merges these two worlds brilliantly.
It's truly the most refined ship at sea.
Edge is the first ship to be completely designed in 3D.
This allowed every detail to be reviewed, fine-tuned, and perfected.
So now we're revealing Edge with 3D animation to let you experience the ship designed to leave the future behind.
Now, let's talk about how Celebrity brought this incredible ship to life.
To me, the most transformational spaces on Edge are the staterooms.
Celebrity collaborated with interior design visionary Kelly Hoppen to turn every room on board Edge
into a statement about modern luxury.
Well, for me, where you sleep and wake up anywhere in the world, whether it's on land or at sea,
is the most important part of your day.
So I think what I wanted to achieve here was to try and create lots of different experiences
and to basically do it as though we were doing a luxury home,
but doing it in a cruise ship.
I think we created something that will be unique in the cruise industry.
Of all the innovations aboard Edge, the transformed Edge Stateroom
featuring the first-ever Infinite Veranda is the most impressive.
With the touch of a button, the boundary between inside and outside disappears.
Your entire living space becomes the veranda whenever you want,
letting you walk right out to the water's edge.
This brilliant innovation expands each stateroom with over 20 percent more outward facing space.
Each room includes a cashmere collection king size bed for an unparalleled night sleep.
Guests can control everything from lighting to shades to temperature.
It's world-class service at the touch of a button.
Celebrity has more than doubled the number of available Suites, and added two spectacular brand new categories.
In the new Iconic Suite, you'll feel like you're on top of the world—literally.
Uniquely positioned just above the ship's bridge, the Iconic Suites offer enormous panoramic views.
Equally amazing are the new stunning split-level Edge Villas,
offering a private terrace and plunge pool with direct walkout access
to the exclusive Sun Deck for Suite guests.
From transformational to tantalizing, The Retreat for Suite guests is a private utopia,
featuring a spacious sundeck, private pool, pool bar,
and plenty of secluded spaces for relaxation and enjoying incredible views.
The private Retreat is a warm, sophisticated, and inviting space,
where you'll enjoy complimentary culinary and beverage service,
and experience Celebrity's world-class hospitality from your dedicated concierge.
Also enjoy exclusive access to the private Suite class restaurant for spectacular floor-to-ceiling views,
and the exquisite signature menu only available in Luminae.
When you are on a cruise line, you're living in a space seeing the world,
and I think yes, the environment you're in absolutely changes the way you feel.
What we want is that they're always happy in the surroundings that they're in.
If you think the accommodations bring you closer to the destination than ever before,
just wait until you experience the Resort Deck.
It's been turned completely inside out, with the collaboration of internationally renowned architect Tom Wright.
When I was 18, my father took me sailing for the first time, and I filled it up with the whole sport,
and ever since then, I've loved everything to do with the sea.
And it's always fantastic to be involved in ship design. I just get passionate about them, I guess.
I really believe that the experience of going on Edge will be very different and very exciting for passengers
who are used to a normal cruise design.
It is going to be a paradigm shift in cruise design.
The Resort Deck includes the Pool, Solarium, and Rooftop Garden,
each offering endless ways to enjoy the outdoors and connect with the sea.
Just off the Resort Deck, the spectacular Magic Carpet offers incredible views while resting on Deck 16, 14, 5, and 2,
where on port days, it's positioned to provide an intense, tender experience at sea
while being whisked onto Celebrity's dramatically reimagined Edge lounges to go ashore in comfort and in style.
One of the best places to take in views from the water's Edge is also host to the most amazing al fresco dining experience
when it's positioned on Deck 5.
Back on the Resort Deck, soak up the sun and handcrafted cocktails at the beautiful outward-facing pool,
while comfortably lounging and appreciating oversized art installations.
Take a dip in the 25-yard lap pool and relax in one of the spectacular martini glass-shaped hot tubs.
The Resort Deck on Edge offers so many ways to connect with the sea and the world around you.
It's unlike any other outdoor spaces.
Later in the day, Magic Carpet, positioned off the Pool Deck,
is the perfect place with breathtaking views, tantalizing drinks, and live music.
The six spacious cabanas that line the starboard side of the deck
provide another cool hot spot for incredible outward-facing views,
offering a private retreat while celebrating Celebrity's design DNA.
Further along the Resort Deck is the Rooftop Garden,
an enchanting place game, where you can enjoy interactive games and activities throughout the day
or enjoy the not-to-be-missed evening entertainment,
where food and film merge during A Taste of Film.
And the treetop sculptures come to life with live music performances.
Visit the Rooftop Garden Grill under the sun or under the stars
for a selection of the best burgers, brisket, or barbecue you won't find anywhere.
The Rooftop Garden is a one-of-a-kind space where you can have some fun, explore, or just slow down.
The Magic Carpet creates another one-of-a-kind experience when it's positioned on Deck 16,
for intimate culinary event and dinner on the Edge. Literally.
For many, cruise design is divided into three bits: there's tradition, and then there's evolution, and then there's revolution.
And Edge, as a ship, has a huge amount of revolution.
Celebrity Edge represents a monumental leap forward for the industry.
With Edge, Celebrity will open up the world for discerning travelers
who truly want to experience the world around them.
I guarantee you've never seen anything like Edge,
at sea or anywhere.
We can't wait to show you what's next.
The revolution sets sail in 2018.
