Celebrity Edge

After the new vessel was ordered with French shipbuilder STX France in December 2014, her keel was laid in June 2017 and she was floated out in January 2018.

When not in use as a tender platform, it can rise or descend alongside the ship on its track and otherwise hosts additional dining and lounge space.

[11] Six months after the steel-cutting, Celebrity Edge had her keel laying and coin ceremony at STX France on 21 June 2017.

[16] Following her delivery, Celebrity Edge jump-started her inaugural season on 6 November 2018 with a transatlantic crossing from France to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

[20] The ship's official maiden voyage sailed on 9 December 2018, calling in the ports of Key West, Grand Cayman, and Costa Maya.
