Celebrity to offer Perfect Day island visits from summer 2024

Celebrity’s newest Edge-class ship, Celebrity Beyond, and Celebrity Reflection will be deployed in the Caribbean from next April, with Celebrity doubling its number of year-round Caribbean sailings.

Homeporting from Fort Lauderdale, Beyond will offer a mix of six- to eight-night itineraries featuring visits to Grand Cayman, the Bahamas, Mexico and the Dutch Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, as well as calls to Perfect Day.

Reflection will sail new three- to four-night itineraries throughout the summer with almost 40 itineraries.

Laura Hodges Bethge, Celebrity Cruises president, said the line’s customers had been "consistently asking" for year-round Caribbean cruises and "expressed a desire for a private island destination".

"By introducing this new programme, we can offer an Edge-series ship in all our top destinations for the summer season, and offer something new and historic to all our guests. Perfect Day is a destination like no other, and we are honoured to add it to our portfolio too."

Closer to home, Celebrity Apex will be based out of Southampton from May 2024, sailing Norwegian fjords, Spain and Portugal cruises, while Ascent will call in Greece, Turkey, Italy, France and Spain.

Meanwhile, the line’s first Edge-class vessel, Celebrity Edge, is set to sail Alaska.
