Celebrity Apex - The Pinnacle of Modern Luxury

In 2020, Celebrity Cruises will welcome Celebrity Apex, the newest ship to join the Edge series alongside her sister ship, Celebrity Edge. Boasting a wealth of at sea firsts such as the Edge Staterooms with infinite balconies, twin level Edge Villas with outdoor plunge pools, the floating Magic Carpet and two martini glass Jacuzzis, the Edge class ships will be leaving the future behind.

Celebrity Apex will cater to 2,900 passengers, making her much larger than Celebrity Cruises’ Millennium Class ships but smaller than their Solstice Class ships. She will have an incredible 14 passenger decks, 29 mouth-watering restaurants and a contemporary theatre.

I will be co designing the Grand Plaza Martini Bar Chandelier with Sooner Routhier. The Grand Plaza’s stunning LED chandelier, features nightly choreographed light and flair bartending shows.

In addition to the chandelier, I will be designing the “Lido” Pool Deck which features a video wall art install and club lighting for night time shows.

The ship is currently being built in Saint Nazaire, France, at STX Ship Yard. The Celebrity Apex will set sail from South Hampton, England, on its inaugural cruise in early April.
