Celebrity is offering Caribbean cruise routes on a popular ship for the first time

The ship arrived on November 1 and will be offering seven-night Caribbean voyages right through to April 2026. It's brilliant news for Britons who love cruising but want something a bit different from the usual offerings.

This revolutionary vessel promises to transform how passengers experience the Caribbean, with its distinctive outward-facing design creating a more immersive holiday experience.

What makes Celebrity Apex truly special are its game-changing features that you won't find on traditional cruise ships. The Magic Carpet is absolutely fascinating - it's the world's first cantilevered platform that actually floats alongside the ship, creating a unique spot for dining and drinking while you're practically suspended over the ocean.

The Infinite Veranda staterooms are another innovation. At the touch of a button, the barrier between your room and the sea simply disappears, bringing the outside in. It's a completely different way to experience ocean views compared to standard balcony cabins.

These design elements really do create that immersive Caribbean experience the cruise line promises.

The ship's Caribbean itineraries are packed with sought-after destinations that British cruisers love. You'll visit Grand Turk in Turks and Caicos, the historic streets of San Juan in Puerto Rico, and the diving paradise of Cozumel in Mexico.

Other stops include George Town in Grand Cayman, Basseterre in St Kitts & Nevis, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, and even Key West in Florida. There's also a visit to Bimini in the Bahamas.

Each seven-night voyage offers plenty of variety - from snorkelling in crystal-clear waters to sampling local cuisine and soaking up island culture on pristine beaches.

The onboard experience is just as impressive as the destinations. Celebrity Apex boasts 29 different restaurants, bars and lounges - from Fine Cut Steakhouse to Raw on 5, there's something for every taste with globally inspired menus.

Suite guests get exclusive access to The Retreat, complete with private restaurant Luminae, a dedicated lounge and sundeck. The ship even features two-storey Edge Villas with private terraces and plunge pools.

Entertainment rivals West End productions with three exclusive shows in The Theatre, plus intimate cabaret performances in The Club.

Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises, said: "Our cutting-edge Edge Series ships have transformed the premium holiday experience, and we're thrilled to bring this elevated style of cruising to guests sailing from Port Canaveral."
