The award-winning luxury Celebrity Apex is to homeport in Southampton for the first time in 2024 for the entire season, raising the bar for cruise holidays from the UK. BRITAIN, PREPARE TO CRUISE CELEBRITY STYLE!
The exciting news brings one of the brand’s newest and most innovative Edge® Series ships directly to British shores. Celebrity is one of our favourite cruise brands because of the effortless relaxed luxury that embodies everything they do, from world class restaurants through to relaxation in the luxury spa.
Exploring Europe
With 4-to-13-night sailings from May to November 2024, you can delight in the beauty and culture of awe-inspiring Europe, whether for a short multi-city break or an extended adventure at sea. Celebrity Apex will head to the peak of Europe on a 12-night Norwegian Fjords and Arctic Circle cruise. Travellers will revel in the jaw-dropping scenery of the region’s capital, Tromso, as well as Norway’s northernmost city, Honnigsvag, offering breath-taking natural beauty from hiking its lakes and forests under the midnight sun, to watching humpback whales lobtail and leap in its cold waters.
Much further south, a new addition to Celebrity’s itineraries from Southampton include the stunning island of Ibiza, boasting an eclectic landscape of traditional and modern culture, a vibrant culinary scene and mesmerising beaches in the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Offering a unique approach to cruise ship design, the award-winning Celebrity Apex features a collaboration of globally renowned designers including British powerhouse Kelly Hoppen CBE; beloved American designer Nate Berkus; the acclaimed Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku; and Tom Wright whose visionary spaces provide the canvas for a relaxed luxury resort at sea.
The result of their collaboration is an onboard experience that defines relaxed luxury at sea. You can expect to enjoy:
The exclusive The Retreat® with its stunning suite accommodation, a private restaurant, and an exclusive lounge and sundeck to rival any high-end resort. In addition, a dedicated team of Butlers on-hand 24/7, ensures everything is taken care of.
