In typical Edge Series-fashion, the ship absolutely exceeded our expectations, performing perfectly in line with our above-and-beyond operating standards.

It was an absolute honour to stand at the helm of Celebrity Apex for her highly successful first sea trial. Celebrity Apex is truly a beautiful and highly advanced vessel.
