Celebrity Cruises has added five December cruises for the Celebrity
Edge because the ship will be delivered early from the yard.
Celebrity has scheduled four pre-inaugural preview cruises
to the Bahamas departing Nov. 21 and 24, and Dec. 3 and 6 from Fort Lauderdale.
The first official cruise for the 2,918-passenger ship will
now depart Dec. 9. The seven-day western Caribbean cruise will visit Key West,
Costa Maya, Cozumel and Grand Cayman, and will be followed by the previously
announced maiden voyage, a seven-day eastern Caribbean cruise departing Fort
Lauderdale on Dec. 16.
The Celebrity Edge is the first in a new class of ships for
Celebrity. Other ships in the class are planned for delivery in 2020, 2021 and
2022.
