| Coin ceremony held for Ascent

CELEBRITY Cruises has celebrated a construction milestone on Celebrity Ascent, its fourth Edge series ship, with a coin ceremony at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard.

Workers welded a ceremonial coin to a massive steel docking block forming Ascent’s keel, officially marking the beginning of construction on the ship.

Ascent will stand at 17 decks tall, and will be 20 metres longer than the original Celebrity Edge, meaning it will feature more space than her predecessor.

She will debut from Port Everglades on 03 Dec 2023 for her inaugural Caribbean season of alternating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries.
