maxsales Posted November 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Celebrity Edge is the first of four new cruise ships that will debut for Celebrity under its Project Edge. Edge will debut in fall 2018. The company celebrated the ship's steel-cutting, the first step in the shipbuilding process, in November 2016. At 117,000 GRT and passenger capacity of 2,900 people, the Edge-class ships will be larger than Millennium-class vessels but slightly smaller than those in the Solstice Class. They are being built in France at the STX shipyard. The line promises "small-ship itineraries with large-ship amenities," iconic architecture and destination-rich experiences. The second ship, Celebrity Beyond, is scheduled to debut in spring 2020. The other two yet-unnamed ships will sail in fall 2021 and spring 2022.

Beanb41 Posted November 27, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Interesting if the passenger number are 2900 as Solstice class is 2800 and Edge ships are smaller in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Crucero Posted November 27, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hope we see them on the West Coast ! I hope we get the Infinity permanently based in California, with year round itineraries to Central America, Hawai'i, California Coastal, and Alaska - sort of like what the Century did.

El Crucero Posted November 27, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 27, 2016 2 years of anticipation.... Any guesses what part of the ship this is? I am almost 100% certain with an educated guess. Yes, I have built a few ships in my day but nothing this large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan-n-john Posted November 27, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) That surely must be the bow -- it is upside down and the steel sticking up would be the beginnings of the internal structure for the bulb. Click here for an image of the bulbous bow on Oasis: https://goo.gl/images/x5zh4w Virtually all ships today have bulbous bows.

Celebrity Liner Posted December 18, 2016 #25 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Celebrity cruises has announced that edge class will be presented at the Seatrade Cruise Global 2017. It will be shown on facebook live. Does anyone know edge has RFID technology? It would be nice if edge runs from the new Royal Caribbean terminal in miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
