FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – What’s it like on Celebrity Edge, the much-awaited new ship from Celebrity Cruises? See for yourself with a scroll through the carousel on this page, which offers the first look at the soon-to-debut, 2,918-passenger vessel in advance of its first voyage with paying passengers.

USA TODAY Cruise has been getting an exclusive sneak peek at Edge this weekend at Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades, and we’re posting photos here and at the USA TODAY Cruise Twitter page.

Edge is the prototype for an innovative new series of ships at Celebrity called the Edge Class. Designed using 3D imaging technology, the vessel features cabins that are open to the sea in a way that has never been seen before in ocean cruising. It also boasts public spaces designed by some of the world’s best-known architects and designers, including Patricia Urquiola and Kelly Hoppen.

More than 60 percent of Edge’s 1,467 cabins are what Celebrity is calling Infinite Verandas. In what is billed as a first for an ocean-going vessel, the cabins have balconies that are incorporated into the main cabin area. Bi-fold doors in the rooms either can be completely closed, creating a traditional room area separated from a balcony area, or left open, creating a wide-open indoor space that is about 23 percent larger than traditional balcony cabins.
