## Overview

- Market segment: Premium large resort (modern luxury)
- Ship: Celebrity Ascent
- Class: Edge class
- Region: Caribbean & Bahamas, Mediterranean

Launched in November 2023 as the fourth Edge-series ship, Celebrity Ascent is an enlarged version with its hull extended by 20 meters. It has the same scale as its sister ship Beyond, at 141,420 tons with capacity for 3,260 guests, and offers more spacious restaurants and lounges. In winter, it handles longer itineraries of about 10 to 14 nights from Fort Lauderdale, including the Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal, while summer operations center on the Mediterranean. The onboard atmosphere is relaxed, and using the suite-only area The Retreat provides an experience close to that of a luxury ship.

### Practical information (line-wide)

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Onboard currency | USD |
| Gratuities | Charged automatically: the gratuity is added to your SeaPass (onboard payment card) account for each night. Prepayment is also possible, and after boarding you can adjust or remove the amount at Guest Relations. Importantly, since the revision of October 4, 2023, choosing an All Included fare (formerly Always Included) no longer includes the daily gratuities for stateroom attendants and dining staff, which are charged automatically on top (the only thing included is a service charge equivalent to 20% on drink costs within the drinks package). |
| Payment | Cashless onboard |
| Voltage | Both 110V (North American style) and 220V (European style) are available in the cabin. |
| Formal nights | The number of "Evening Chic" nights varies with cruise length: about 1 for cruises under 7 nights, 2 for 7 to 11 nights, and 3 for 12 nights or more (participation is optional, and it is not a mandatory formal night). |
| Medical facilities | Each ship has a medical center staffed by doctors and nurses. Consultations are charged: a general consultation during office hours is reported to cost around $100, while after-hours visits and cabin visits cost more ($165 to $205 or so). Nurse visits generally cost about half the doctor's fee, and charges are billed to your SeaPass account. |
| Bringing items onboard | On embarkation day only, each adult may bring up to 1 bottle of wine/champagne (750 ml) (boxed wine and the like are not allowed). If it is opened and drunk in restaurants, bars and the like, a corkage fee of about $35 per bottle applies, but this is waived for holders of the Classic/Premium drinks package and when drinking in your cabin. Other alcohol purchased at ports of call is held by staff at boarding and returned near the final day of the cruise. |
| Mobile and connectivity | Mobile phone roaming at sea (Cellular at Sea) follows each person's own carrier's maritime roaming rate plan and is not a Celebrity charge. Messaging and calls via a Wi-Fi package are priced under a separate system, so to avoid roaming charges, airplane mode plus onboard Wi-Fi is generally recommended. |

## Boarding, atmosphere, and links

Checked: 2026-07-03

### Boarding and logistics

- Japan departures: No
- Home ports: Fort Lauderdale (Florida, United States; home port for winter Caribbean cruises), Barcelona (Spain; home port for summer Mediterranean cruises), Rome/Civitavecchia (Italy; home port for summer Mediterranean cruises)

### Atmosphere and guests

- All ages
- A modern, stylish Edge-class interior centered on experiential signature venues such as Magic Carpet and Eden. Adult-only areas including the Solarium and SEA Thermal Suite are extensive, creating a more relaxed, upscale adult atmosphere than Royal Caribbean or Carnival.
- Mainly attracts couples and adults, although a certain number of families also sail; child-oriented facilities are kept to a minimum. A broad clientele sails on both Caribbean cruises from North America and Mediterranean cruises from Europe.
