The first floor – yes, there’s more than one – offers a living area with a 55″ interactive TV with surround sound, bathroom and access to your very own private terrace. That boutique hotel feel arose once more as I entered one of these during my stay on-board and, if it weren’t for the view out to sea from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped into a luxury apartment. They are the first of their kind in the Celebrity Cruises’ fleet and it’s not hard to imagine that we will be seeing much more of them across the industry as they are stunning. There are six Edge Villas on-board Celebrity Edge, each of which offers 950 square feet of split level, indoor/outdoor comfort. Both of these epitomise the modern luxury values initially laid out for Celebrity Edge. With the brand new Edge Villas and Iconic Suites, the true ethos of the ship comes alive. The storage across all of the accommodation is designed in this natural wood with handleless doors so that they are hidden away when not in use, appealing to the smooth and thoughtful attributes of the overall style from Hoppen.Īcross the rest of the Celebrity Edge’s accommodation, the Suites stand-out. Across from the desk is a sofa and storage space where there are full-size wardrobes as well as a safe and drawers. I loved sitting at this end of the desk as it was perfect for getting ready for the evenings. You could even push this table into the cabinet beside it, which revealed a full-length, light-up mirror. In the main area, there is a long desk with plenty of drawer space, a mini fridge, a desktop container with plug sockets (including 110V, 220V and USB outlets) and an extendable table at the end. I loved these, which felt like the en-suite of a luxurious hotel complete with marble decor, glass doors into the shower, hairdryer in a drawer beneath the sink and plenty of storage space for your own toiletries – not that you’ll need them all as chic branded shampoo, conditioner and body wash amenities are also provided.

The bathrooms in the Edge Staterooms are also larger, offering 10% more space than the rest of the fleet. Quite a novelty once you’d mastered the settings! For example, the ‘morning’ setting switched bright lights on and opened the blinds, while the ‘movies’ setting turned on bedside lamps for a cinema-feel.

Each of these had pre-set functions for the lights, blinds and balcony window. There’s a control panel beside the wall as you enter your stateroom where you can choose a light setting between ‘morning’, ‘evening’, ‘movies’ or ‘sleep’. The boundaries of balcony and stateroom space are no more, as Celebrity Edge erases them and brings the outside in for a truly transformational setting. The staterooms are described as transformational and, after calling it home during my two nights on-board, I can wholeheartedly agree.Īt the touch of a button, the window and blind open to reveal a balcony that is an extension of your room. During a two night stay on-board Celebrity Edge, I stayed in the Edge Stateroom with Infinite Balcony SM, a new accommodation type which boasts 27% more space than the rest of the fleet.
