Cruise Ships in Italy : Celebrity Ascent

There are not many ships in the world that give you the opportunity to sip on a cocktail while suspended over the ocean. Celebrity Ascent offers just this with its state-of-the-art Magic Carpet bar, which slowly moves up and down the side of the ship giving enticing maritime views. This is the first of many design innovations, all created to give you a greater choice of suites and improved gastronomic venues, with enhanced focus on the oceanic and coastal views.

You may choose to stay in The Retreat, enjoying its private sundeck, lounge, and Luminae restaurant. Maybe you’ll put wellbeing at the heart of your cruise, staying in Aquaclass with a trip built around the Spa and fitness facilities. Or, your trip might focus on the quality of the onshore adventures. Either way, the offerings are expansive, from productions led by world-class actors to quiet spaces on the rooftop garden, private movie night extravaganzas to guided adventures in new destinations.

Cabins

From the Iconic Suite to the Inside Stateroom, there’s a vast array of accommodation on board. You’ll find maritime-inspired decor throughout, from the honey hue of sand to splashes of vivid orange coral. All suites and many of the staterooms feature balconies, some accessed through retractable floor-to-ceiling windows, while The Retreat suites include butler service and larger or dual-storey space.
