Beginning today, Celebrity Cruises' revolutionary ship, Celebrity Apex, sets sail from Southampton for her debut season. This marks a significant milestone as she becomes the first ship in the innovative Edge Series to call the United Kingdom home. With an eight-night Norwegian Fjords cruise, Celebrity Apex is poised to deliver an elevated cruising experience directly from the UK.
A New Era of Cruising from Southampton
Celebrity Apex kicks off her European season with an enticing itinerary that includes stops at some of the most picturesque destinations in the Norwegian Fjords.

The journey continues to Geiranger, Norway, home to the stunning Geirangerfjord, renowned for its cascading waterfalls and majestic mountains. Another highlight is Kristiansand, Norway's vibrant "Summer City," known for its sandy beaches, top-notch shopping, and rich cultural scene.
Laura Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises, expressed her enthusiasm: "We're bringing one of our most innovative ships, Celebrity Apex, to Southampton, providing guests the opportunity to sail in style directly from the UK. It's an exciting time as we elevate cruising from the region, enabling our guests to explore and restore with premium facilities, elevated food and drink experiences, and exciting activities and entertainment."
