Celebrity Ascent will operate two preview cruises prior to its official maiden voyage in November.

They are a four-night western Caribbean itinerary departing Port Everglades Nov. 22 to Cozumel, over the US Thanksgiving holiday, and a three-night Bahamas cruise departing Port Everglades Nov. 26 for Nassau.

Fourth Edge-class ship

The fourth Edge-class ship is the twin of 2022's Celebrity Beyond.

'[Celebrity Ascent] is going to be beautiful beyond words — truly the embodiment of a relaxed luxury resort at sea — and I’m thrilled to be able to offer travelers a sneak peek of all that she offers,' Celebrity President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said.

Architects and designers

Designers include Britain's Kelly Hoppen CBE and architect Tom Wright, America's Nate Berkus and Paris-based design firm Jouin Manku. Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud will again have a specialty restaurant, Le Voyage, onboard.

Celebrity Ascent was floated out at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in late January.
