Celebrity Cruises’ next Edge-class ship, Celebrity Beyond, will make its debut from Southampton next year and be taller and longer than its sister vessels.

Beyond will sail its maiden voyage on 27 April during a 10-night Western Europe cruise, before homeporting out of Barcelona and later heading in October to Fort Lauderdale to sail the Caribbean.

Revealing the first look of the ship on Wednesday (28 April), Celebrity president and chief executive, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, said despite its Southampton launch the line was "not planning to name her in the UK".

“The ship is beyond anything anyone is going to expect, and will change a lot of people’s minds who have never been on a ship," she said. "Today is a special day for the official debut, one year from when Celebrity Beyond will do her first cruise with guests in Europe.”
