The new ship is currently being promoted as ‘Xcel 2‘.
Celebrity Cruises has announced it will launch a sixth Edge-class ship in 2028, through an agreement signed with shipyard Chantiers de l’Atlantique.
The ship, billed as Xcel 2, will include innovations seen throughout the Edge-class, such as the Magic Carpet, and the Infinite Veranda staterooms.
The new ship will be methanol-capable, Chantiers de l’Atlantique confirmed, and takes the Royal Caribbean Group’s total order book to eight vessels.
