Celebrity Cuts Steel on New Celebrity Edge Cruise Ship

Celebrity Cruises has cut steel on its next new cruise ship, the Celebrity Edge, in an event at the STX France shipyard. 

Marking the debut of Celebrity’s first new class of cruise ship since 2008, the vessel is slated for delivery in fall 2018. Celebrity also announced the name of its sibling ship, Celebrity Beyond, at the event. 

“Cutting the ship's first piece of steel is the traditional first step in the shipbuilding process, and I'm excited to see our dreams turn into reality over the next 24 months,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Celebrity Cruises’ president and CEO. "We are excited to reveal more details soon, and travelers, trade partners and enthusiasts alike will not be disappointed — this ship is going to be amazing."

Celebrity Beyond is scheduled for delivery in spring 2020, and the third and fourth Edge Class ships in fall 2021 and fall 2022, respectively.
