Celebrity Cruises' next new ship, Celebrity Edge, is packed full of innovation. When the ship debuts in fall 2018, it will be the first new ship for the cruise line since Celebrity Reflection came out in 2012.

One of the highlights of the ship is the Magic Carpet (pictured), an industry first. The Magic Carpet is a movable deck space that is cantilevered over the side of Celebrity Edge. The size of a tennis court, it is designed to help passengers during disembarkation in tender ports, but it will serve double-duty as an entertainment space or restaurant depending on what deck it's on: embarkation/disembarkation will be from Deck 2; al fresco dining at lunch time will be on Deck 5; happy hour on Deck 14 (the pool deck); and the alternative dining option will be offered in the evening on Deck 16. Passengers will not be permitted on the Magic Carpet when it is in motion.

The Resort Deck, a.k.a. the pool deck, is on Deck 14 and features an above-pool brushed steel sculpture and martini glass Jacuzzis. To the right in this rendering are the for-fee cabanas, flanked by tree sculptures. Chaise lounge chairs around the sides of the ship face out, toward the ocean.

Celebrity Edge will feature six two-deck-high private cabanas, which will require a fee.

Infinite Veranda

Another first in ocean cruising is the Infinite Veranda, which combines indoor and outdoor space in one balcony-type area. The balcony can be closed off from the rest of the cabin with bi-fold doors (creating an actual balcony), or the bi-fold doors can be left open, providing 23 percent more living space in the cabin. With the touch of a button, passengers can raise or lower a glass window on the balcony, shutting out the elements. When the balcony is opened to the room and the window is closed, the whole space is air-conditioned. Edge will have 918 Infinite Veranda cabins, 16 of which accommodate single travelers -- another first for the line.
