Life on board Celebrity Edge: Staterooms

The storage across all of the accommodation is designed in this natural wood with handleless doors so that they are hidden away when not in use, appealing to the smooth and thoughtful attributes of the overall style from Hoppen.

Suite sanctuaries and inviting villas

Across the rest of the Celebrity Edge’s accommodation, the Suites stand-out. With the brand new Edge Villas and Iconic Suites, the true ethos of the ship comes alive. Both of these epitomise the modern luxury values initially laid out for Celebrity Edge.

Edge Villas

There are six Edge Villas on-board Celebrity Edge, each of which offers 950 square feet of split level, indoor/outdoor comfort. They are the first of their kind in the Celebrity Cruises’ fleet and it’s not hard to imagine that we will be seeing much more of them across the industry as they are stunning.

That boutique hotel feel arose once more as I entered one of these during my stay on-board and, if it weren’t for the view out to sea from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped into a luxury apartment.

The first floor – yes, there’s more than one – offers a living area with a 55″ interactive TV with surround sound, bathroom and access to your very own private terrace. Outside, the terrace has inviting lounge furniture as well as a three-foot-deep plunge pool where you can while away hours overlooking the horizon.

As for the second floor, you are greeted with a bathroom comprising a separate bath and walk-in shower, all ensconced in the subtle marble decor – continuing Hoppen’s vision of natural comfort and luxury.

Step out of the bathroom and turn right and you’re met with the endless views of the sea which the master bedroom overlooks.

From the wooden flooring to the layered curtains framing the floor-to-ceiling windows, here the natural colour schemes are lifted with emerald green tones to further accentuate the uniqueness of this stateroom.

Guests staying here can enjoy additional suite amenities such as direct access to the Retreat, including Luminae at the Retreat, The Retreat Lounge and the Retreat Sundeck; priority tender service; complimentary 24-hour room service; personal butler; complimentary speciality dining, high-speed internet access and Premium Drinks Package, as well as much more.

Iconic Suite

Possibly one of the most luxurious suites I’ve ever stepped foot in, the Iconic Suite is the epitome of decadence. Boasting two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and more than 2,500 square feet of expansive space, the suite is Celebrity Cruises’ most spacious across the whole fleet.

There are only two on-board Celebrity Edge, situated high on top of the ship above the bridge. This allows for the incredible sweeping, panoramic views that you notice from the moment you step through the door. The revolutionary staterooms have also been designed by Kelly Hoppen, so the signature philosophy and neutral tones are once again apparent throughout.

Each of the two bedrooms feature a king-sized Cashmere Collection bed and two full bathrooms – each including a full shower, whirlpool tub and luxury amenities. There is enough space for six guests to unwind, with a large dining table set for six and seating space to relax. There’s even a swing by the window for you to sway as you watch the waves pass by beneath the sun.

As you walk outside in to the expansive balcony area, there is even more seating to entertain guests and sunbathe, as well as a cabana to get some shade and a private whirlpool tub to enjoy all to yourselves! If you do love to entertain friends and family, there is also an in-suite butler pantry, perfect for all occasions. Your butler even has a separate entrance so they don’t disturb you.
