Celebrity Cruises has named its newest ship Celebrity Apex.
The line revealed the name of Celebrity Edge’s sister vessel as the first piece of steel was cut at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire in France. The ship had previously been referred to as Celebrity Beyond.
President and chief executive Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said: “Welcoming Celebrity Apex into our family with the leadership team was a very special moment, especially when we all signed the ship silhouette cut from the first piece of steel.
“The success and momentum for Celebrity Edge has been incredible, and with Celebrity Apex we will yet again show how we are taking our brand to the next level. We are offering our guests the best way to experience the world in modern luxury style.”
Celebrity Apex is expected to make her debut in spring 2020, with the third and fourth Edge series ships arriving in autumn 2021 and autumn 2022.
