Celebrity Cruises’ Newest Caribbean Ship 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - December 31, 2023

Celebrity Cruises’ newest ship has officially arrived in the Caribbean. 

Celebrity Ascent, the fourth and newest ship in the company’s Edge series, is now making regular sailings to the Eastern and Western Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades cruise port. 

The ship is stopping in ports of call across the Western and Eastern Caribbean, ranging from St Maarten, St Thomas and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic to St Kitts, Tortola and San Juan, among others. 

That’s along with cruise favorites like Nassau, The Bahamas, George Town in the Cayman Islands and the island of Cozumel off the Caribbean coast of Mexico. 

The ship will be sailing every Sunday out of Port Everglades for the high season. 

It’s part of what Celebrity says will be its biggest-ever cruise season in the Caribbean; Ascent will be joined by sister ships Celebrity Apex and Celebrity Beyond, along with a pair of dedicated Caribbean ships beginning in April: Celebrity Reflection and Celebrity Beyond. 

“As cooler weather sets in across the country, this is the time of year we start to think about trading the inevitable winter blues for gorgeous Caribbean blues. Our 2024 Caribbean season is designed with a wide range of ships and itineraries for travelers to choose from,” said Katina Athanasiou, Senior Vice President Of Sales and Service for The Americas at Celebrity. “It’s our mission to make our guests feel like a VIP, and leave feeling refreshed and energized.”
