There’s a buzz in the cruise world right now—and its name is Celebrity Ascent. As the fourth ship in the award-winning Edge Series, Celebrity Ascent has taken everything guests already loved and dialled it up a notch (or three). If you’re someone who loves modern design, exceptional food, and relaxed luxury at sea, this is a ship you’ll want to know about.

Modern, grown-up, and effortlessly relaxed—Celebrity Silhouette was the perfect post-pandemic escape. With only 50% capacity onboard, everything felt spacious and exclusive. Highlights? The dreamy Sunset Bar at sailaway, chilled vibes throughout, and food that hit the mark every time—especially the speciality dining. Add in genuinely warm, attentive service, and it was one of those sailings that just felt special from start to finish.

Elegant, refined, and refreshingly grown-up—Celebrity Reflection was a standout from the moment I stepped onboard. Think sophisticated lounges, exceptional food, and a calm, modern atmosphere made for adults who appreciate the finer things at sea. Murano stole the show with its French-inspired cuisine and tableside Chateaubriand, while the wine-tasting excursion in Santorini was pure magic. It’s the kind of ship that makes relaxing effortless—and yes, I’d sail her again in a heartbeat.

Looking for a modern cruise experience that blends sleek design with exceptional service? Step aboard Celebrity Apex and discover everything from innovative Infinite Veranda staterooms to standout dining at Fine Cut Steakhouse. In this review, I share my honest take on the ship’s most talked-about features—including the Grand Plaza’s iconic Martini Bar, the immersive Eden lounge, the stylish Resort Deck, and the game-changing Magic Carpet. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a Celebrity fan, here’s what it’s really like to sail on Apex.
