Celebrity Ascent marks the fourth in the cruise line’s ground-breaking Edge class of ships (or “Edge series” as Celebrity calls them). And while we’ve sailed on nearly every major cruise line (including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC, NCL, Virgin, Princess), one major line we had yet to experience was Celebrity. Turns out that their newest ship makes us feel like we’ve made a big mistake waiting this long to sail. One of the most exciting parts of any vacation is discovering new places.

Start your morning with a foamy latte and sweet treat as you stare at the sea and think about the wonderful day ahead. Whether you’re fueling up for your day ashore—or refueling for your evening aboard—the atmosphere of Café Al Bacio is always evolving, and so are the views outside and in the Grand Plaza below. What you eat on vacation is almost as important as where you go, and on every Celebrity vacation, we bring both those things together perfectly. The captivating scents and flavors of your dining experience will transport you to new places—without even leaving your table. On Celebrity AscentSM, you’ll embark on a culinary journey like no other. Instead of a traditional theater setup, Ascent features a round room with a circular stage in the middle.

New for Ascent is "Smoke and Ivories", which is a musical event that is themed to a 1950s cabaret. It features a piano, hand-to-hand fights, tap solos, passionate duets, and aerial performances. I spent less time in The Club than I would have liked on Celebrity Apex, but I think this space is vastly underrated. If you're lucky enough to stay in a suite, Celebrity has greatly expanded its private suite area.

Included with your cruise fare:

At Qsine, passengers can order on iPads, then waiters bring the food in the order of choosing. The ship has a total of 11 bars and lounges, including Eden, Cafe al Bacio, The Club, Sunset Bar, Theatre Bar, Casino Bar, Martini Bar (at Grand Plaza), Pool Bar, Il Secondo Bacio, The Retreat Bar, The Retreat Lounge. Whether you’re joining the excitement of the daily activities that take place here or popping in at night for the cutting-edge entertainment experiences, The Club offers hours of entertainment. Awaken all your senses in this breathtaking, three-story venue that epitomizes Celebrity Ascent’s outward-facing design, connecting you with the world outside. It also invites you to immerse yourself in the ever-evolving, multi-sensory experiences that transition from chillful to playful to wonderful. Step inside and discover the delicious ambiance — a modern classical design centered around Italian fashion and film.

Given their popularity, the line more than doubled the number of solo accommodations from Celebrity Edge's 16 rooms to 36 on Celebrity Ascent. On my voyage, "Smoke & Ivories" was on the schedule for only one performance. On a standard weeklong sailing, the show will be offered on one night at two different times, so there will be one additional chance to see it. "Awaken" focuses on a series of fever dream-style numbers, and incorporates creative costumes and "Oh, wow!" dance steps with well-known songs. Entertainment is phenomenal on the Edge Class vessels, which strive to be funkier than the average cruise ship. When you're talking about song-and-dance performances that incorporate popular tunes throughout the ages, it's easy for the results to be cheesy.

Celebrity to offer first weekend cruises in the Caribbean

Pool Area/SolariumIf you want to be by the pool, you have two main options. First is the general pool deck that features a large pool, some great artwork (we love the chrome octopus), and twin hot tubs that sit up over the deck like flower blooms. The TheaterThe Theater on Ascent is a massive circular room with a stage in the middle.

Current itinerary of Celebrity Ascent

"And then as we can get methanol from its current state to be green methanol, then that ship is able to be net zero." The company hopes to achieve net zero by 2050. Brothers Dimitrios and Tasos Kafetzis are both captains for Celebrity Cruises and with the debut of the new ship, they're trading off responsibilities every three months. The pair brings decades of maritime experience, as well as a combination of chemistry and wit that would also be well suited to a career in standup comedy. This is notable because it's the only thing different about the cabin categories on the newest ship. Rooms for one are notoriously in demand; by doubling the number available, the line has allowed more opportunity for cruisers traveling alone to sail without having to pay a single supplement for a room designed for two or more people. Another unrelated highlight is that the ship features twice as many cabins for solo travelers as the line's first Edge-class ship, Celebrity Edge.

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience

With breathtaking views, a full bar, and space for live music performances, it truly is a destination itself. The Retreat includes stunning accommodations, a private restaurant, and exclusive lounge and sundeck that rival any high-end resort. Your dedicated team of attendants, concierges, and butlers will do everything to ensure you never have to lift a finger on vacation. Discover the unparalleled luxury of The Retreat, exclusively for all suite guests. Unwind in transformational accommodations that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.

There are a number of entertainment options around the ship with everything from live music to performances in Eden. For those that have sailed across multiple cruise lines, you know that each line — and each ship — has its own unique personality. In other words, no matter how many different cruises you take, there’s always something that’s new to experience. We were reminded of this on our recent inaugural cruise aboard Celebrity Ascent.

He has become one of the foremost expert on a Royal Caribbean cruise. When I cruise with family or friends, I love any opportunity to have a special area for just us, and this seems like a great addition. When I boarded Ascent, the Annex wasn't even on my radar, but I think this is the sleeper hit of this new ship. Celebrity says it's "loftier" and "airier" and I think I was struck by how much different the layout makes in the feel of the venue compared to Apex.

What better place could there be to gaze at the sea than float pools that are cantilevered over the open ocean? This feat is one of the highlights of our Rooftop Garden, which extends right over the water’s edge. Watch the world go by with a cocktail in hand as live pop and folk tunes play.

With a casual country club atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to soak in spectacular views. Our revolutionary new ship is designed to create a closer connection between you, the sea, and the breathtaking world beyond. Featuring sweeping two-story, floor-to-ceiling windows, the Oceanview Café lives up to its name more than ever before.

Ascent's solo cabins are available as Infinite Verandas, which, instead of standard balconies, feature large glass windows that can be opened or closed with the push of a button to allow fresh air inside. At night, head there for "Smoke & Ivories," a new high-energy show featuring singing, dancing and acrobatics from the Eden cast. While we discussed a lot about the ship, there are some spots that we think are worth seeing that we didn’t get a chance to mention. With these infinite balconies, instead the far wall of the cabin is one large window. Press a button and the top half of the window slides down, essentially making the entire room a balcony.

For Ascent, Celebrity Cruises signed an exclusive partnership with the WhistlePig whiskey distillery (2007-founded company based in Shoreham, Vermont USA/the WhistlePig brand was launched in 2010). WhistlePig produces ultra-premium rye whiskey and on Ascent there are two barrels of whiskey (served at Craft Social Bar) made exclusively for Celebrity Cruises. With a perfect view from any seat, The Theatre introduces three all-new production shows with programming exclusive to Celebrity AscentSM , brought to life through state-of-the-art technology.

In addition to a wide selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails, Craft Social also has a full menu of snacks and small bite plates, including mac n’ brie, Kobe beef sliders, and crispy glazed chicken wings. Let’s say that if you have an upcoming cruise on Ascent then we’re not just confident that you’ll enjoy the ship, we are jealous that you’re getting to sail. This was our first-ever cruise aboard Celebrity and it definitely left us impressed. In addition, there are two restaurants Blu and Luminae that are exclusive to passengers staying in AquaClass cabins and The Retreat, respectively.
