Celebrity Apex is the second vessel in Celebrity Cruises' Edge class of ships, constructed at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France. Like her sister ship Celebrity Edge, she features innovative design elements including the "Magic Carpet," a cantilevered platform that moves vertically along the starboard side to facilitate tender service and create additional guest space, as well as "infinite veranda" balcony staterooms, a three-deck dining and performance venue called "Eden," and a parabolic ultrabow designed to maximize fuel efficiency. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, her debut sailing departed from Athens to the Greek Islands.
