Living a life of luxury while exploring the farthest reaches of the globe sounds like a distant dream for most. But the new Celebrity Ascent cruise ship makes that dream a reality. As a cruise enthusiast who’s been on over a dozen cruises, I’m pumped to share why this new ship is going to be an absolute game-changer in the industry.
The Ascent marks Celebrity Cruises’ entry into the elite club of mega cruise liners, with a guest capacity exceeding 5,000 passengers. But it’s not just the ship’s size that sets it apart. From its innovative accommodations to its unrivaled onboard amenities, the Celebrity Ascent is bringing cruisers an unparalleled experience.
Unpacking the Ship’s Cutting-Edge Features
Let’s start by looking at some of the groundbreaking features that make this ship truly revolutionary:
Suite Class Accommodations Reimagined
Forget cramped staterooms. On the Ascent, Celebrity’s Suite Class cabins are being completely transformed into luxurious retreats, each with its own private terrace. I’m most excited about the double-deck Edge Villas that offer direct access to The Retreat Sundeck. With sweeping ocean views and an outdoor plunge pool, these villas are perfect for the ultimate indulgence.
Infinite Veranda Cabins Maximize Space
Standard Veranda staterooms have been reimagined as Infinite Verandas on this ship. These cabins have floor-to-ceiling windows that seamlessly transition into an open-air veranda at the touch of a button. By incorporating the balcony space into the room, you get max roominess.
Magic Carpet Takes Guests Places
This transformational cantilevered platform extends off the side of the ship and reaches heights up to 13 stories above sea level. It functions as an open-air lounge, trendy restaurant or unique tender platform, depending on its positioning. The possibilities are endless!
Luxurious Rooftop Garden
Imagine unwinding in a floating garden oasis high above the ocean, surrounded by lush greenery and cozy cabanas. The Rooftop Garden on the Ascent offers just that – it’s a chic urban escape recreated at sea. Sip craft cocktails, enjoy live music and soak up magnificent vistas from this stunning vantage point.
Unrivaled Onboard Entertainment
You’ll never run out of things to do on the Celebrity Ascent. Catch a breathtaking performance at the state-of-the-art theater or dance the night away at the pulsating nightclub. Adults can find bliss at the luxurious SEA Thermal Suite while kids will have a blast at the massive Splashaway Bay aqua park.
But it’s the unique experiences like stargazing in the planetarium or interacting with holographic teachers that set this ship’s entertainment apart. And for Broadway fanatics like me, the full-scale production shows are sure to dazzle.
Culinary Excellence at Every Turn
Foodies listen up – the restaurants and eateries on this ship aim to satisfy every craving. Book a table at the exclusive acre-plus Luminae restaurant or grab gourmet go-to’s at the Marketplace buffet. With 29 dining options ranging from contemporary to creative, the hardest part is deciding where to eat!
And of course, with the cruise line’s partnership with Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, I’m expecting culinary masterpieces on my plate. Maybe I’ll finally get to try the famous DB Burger!
Ship Within a Ship Concept
Here’s an innovation that proves Celebrity Cruises is investing in the luxury market. The Retreat sundeck on the Ascent is a private ship within a ship, restricted to only Retreat Class suite guests.
Enjoy exclusive amenities like a private lounge, pool and restaurant far from the crowds. For me, The Retreat would be the ultimate way to vacation in style away from the hustle and bustle.
