Celebrity Cruises has ordered a fifth Edge class cruise ship from French shipbuilder Chantiers de l’Atlantique.
Richard D. Fain, Chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, said “Edge class made an immediate hit with Celebrity Cruises guests and is a state-of-the-art example of technical excellence and elegant design. We can’t wait to build the next one.”
The first Edge class ship, Celebrity Edge, went into service in late 2018. Three other Edge-class ships were ordered earlier and are scheduled for delivery in 2020, 2021 and 2022. This new order is contingent upon financing.
“Celebrity Edge has delighted our guests and affirmed Celebrity Cruises as the leading modern luxury brand. Chantiers de l’Atlantique has been a brilliant partner and we look forward to creating another amazing vessel with them,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises.
