Celebrity Beyond is the third ship in Celebrity Cruises’ Edge class, and it’s easily the most polished. If you’re into stylish interiors, great food, and relaxed upscale vibes—but don’t want to feel out of place in flip-flops this might be your ship.

Onboard Atmosphere

From the moment you board, you’ll notice the design difference. Celebrity partnered with high-end designers and chefs, and it shows. The Grand Plaza at the heart of the ship is open, modern, and inviting like walking into a fancy hotel lobby that still feels casual.

Even with over 3,000 passengers, Beyond never feels crowded. The ship layout is smart, with wide walkways, open lounges, and plenty of quiet corners.

Rooms That Feel Like a Boutique Hotel

Standard cabins are some of the best in this category. Infinite Veranda rooms let you control your balcony space with the push of a button. Beds face the window, which means you’ll wake up to ocean views without lifting your head off the pillow.

Suites take it further, giving you access to The Retreat, a private sundeck, lounge, and dining area with a more exclusive feel.

Dining That’s Actually Memorable

You get four main dining rooms with different themes, all included in your fare. That alone is a win. Then there’s Le Petit Chef, a 3D animated dinner experience that’s playful and surprisingly good. Fine Cut Steakhouse, Eden Restaurant, and Raw on 5 are great options if you want to splurge a little.

Service is attentive but not overbearing, and you won’t feel rushed even at busy dinner hours.

Activities and Entertainment

This is where Celebrity Beyond balances things well. It’s not a party ship, but it’s not boring either. You’ll find live music, theater shows, art installations, and a sunset bar at the very back of the ship with the best views on board.

The Rooftop Garden is a peaceful hangout spot by day, and at night it turns into an open-air concert venue or movie space.

Destinations and Itineraries

Celebrity Beyond sails through the Caribbean and Europe, depending on the season. Our cruise hit up Santorini, Mykonos, and Naples—each stop felt smooth and easy to navigate. Excursions were optional but well-organized, and port times allowed for proper exploring.

Verdict

If you’re looking for a cruise that leans more “chic getaway” than “floating theme park,” Celebrity Beyond is a solid pick. You get great service, stylish spaces, and surprisingly good food—without the usual cruise chaos.
