The ship will also feature experiences and products from goop CEO and founder Gwyneth Paltrow, the brand’s new Well-Being Advisor.

Celebrity Beyond will feature innovative spaces like:

  • The Retreat®, an exclusive resort-within-a-resort area for suite guests, highlighted by a new two-story sundeck
  • Transformed accommodations from modern two-story villas with private plunge pools to staterooms with infinite verandas, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living
  • An expanded Rooftop Garden and stunning Resort Deck featuring unique cantilevered float pools
  • A multi-level, multi-terraced Sunset Bar redefining the ship’s aft
  • A first-ever Daniel Boulud fine-dining restaurant at sea
  • A boldly redesigned Grand Plaza spanning three decks, creating an airy and open indoor space
  • The return of the Magic Carpet®, an engineering feat soaring cantilevered above the sea, offering guests uninterrupted vistas while sipping cocktails or having dinner

Celebrity Cruises President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo announced the arrival of Celebrity Beyond, saying, “Celebrity Cruises has always been an innovator at sea, and now we have challenged the status quo with a vessel that goes beyond expectations, beyond imagination.” She added, “Celebrity Beyond shatters any and every preconceived notion of the cruising experience. This exquisite ship offers a journey at the intersection of elegance and approachability filled with what’s important to our guests today: forward-thinking design, culinary excellence, unparalleled well-being and incomparable service.”

Celebrity Beyond’s maiden voyage will depart on April 27, 2022 from Southampton, England, on a 10-night Western Europe cruise visiting Bordeaux, France; Lisbon, Portugal; and Seville, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona, Spain.
