Celebrity Cruises Unveils Dining Details for Newest Ship, Celebrity Edge

Celebrity Cruises today unveiled some of the dining features for its newest ship, Celebrity Edge, and it will feature more choices than ever.

Edge, which debuts in Nov. 21, will offer four main dining restaurants, two Suite and AquaClass restaurants, seven new specialty restaurants, five complimentary dining venues, and 11 bars and lounges.

Main dining options
All four of its main dining restaurants will be different, inspired by four different regions of the world—one, Normandie, will feature French cuisine; another, Cyprus Restaurant, will open as a nod toward to Mediterranean and the line’s Greek heritage; Cosmopolitan will feature new American cuisine; and the last, Tuscan Restaurant, will open as a nod toward Celebrity’s Tuscan Grille with Italian-inspired dishes.

All together, the four restaurants will offer the largest selection of dishes in any of the ships in Celebrity’s fleet. Regional wine, cocktail, and other dishes, served nowhere else onboard, will also be offered.

Specialty options
Edge’s new specialty restaurants offer six different tastes.

Fine Cut Steakhouse, an upscale dining experience, will offer premium cuts of steaks.

Roof Garden Grille will offer backyard barbeque.

Eden Restaurant, which features an open kitchen, will give guests both a culinary and entertainment experience with Edenists performing during the meal.

Le Grand Bistro will offer selections including macaroons, cheeses, and freshly baked bread for breakfast and lunch.

Raw on 5, a seafood eatery, will blend “St. Tropez and New England seafood,” Celebrity said. Diners at Raw on 5 will also get the chance to eat on Celebrity’s new Magic Carpet, a tennis-court size travelling platform that hangs off the side of the ship, for a “Dinner on the Edge” meal.

Different ways to dine
Edge will give guests two options with its Celebrity Traditional Dining program, including both an early and a late seating. Guests choosing Traditional Dining will also get to dine with the same waiter every evening, in the same restaurant, with the option to dine in another one upon request.

There’s also a Celebrity Select Dining Plus option, which gives guest the option of choosing when and where they’d like to eat each moving, with all four main dining rooms an option.

Other options
A new private restaurant, Luminae at The Retreat, will be available for Suite Class guests on Edge. AquaClass guests will also have the option of eating at Blu, a spa-inspired restaurant.
