The Retreat – Suite class
I was incredibly lucky and honoured to be invited to the launch of this brand new 5 star ship Celebrity Beyond. This new ship is third of Celebrity Cruises innovate Edge class. This ship can take 3,260 passengers, is both longer and taller than its two class sister ships Edge and Apex and has an extra 179 cabins, including suites.
I had 10 guests with me and we were all staying in The Retreat which is all suite class, we were staying in the Sky suite cabins. These cabins offer a blend of expansive views and intimate luxury. They are large cabins featuring a king-size bed (which can be split into two single beds as well), with signature Cashmere mattress and a spacious private veranda. The split bathroom features a large spa tub with shower.
From the moment you check in which is a separate check in area for The Retreat suite passengers, you are treated like royalty.
