Australia
& The Great Barrier Reef
Celebrity Edge
17 Nights.
Go
Down Under with Celebrity in Modern Luxury to stay in Sydney and visit
the Great Barrier Reef and Gold Coast of Australia.
These
wonderful holiday experiences give you the chance to explore a strangely
familiar home away from home. Nothing beats standing on Circular Quay in
Sydney staring at the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It suddenly
dawns on you - that you are on the other side of the world; this is a
defining moment in long haul travel.
Swimming
and snorkelling on the Great Barrier reef is quite literally akin to swimming
in an Aquarium with abundant flora and fauna up close. These unique cruises feature
the key ports of call on the gold coast with a mix of coastal, beach and city
destinations.
Willis
Island is located
roughly 450 kilometres east of Cairns, Willis Island is the only permanently
inhabited island in the Coral Sea. The island is quite small and is only around
7.7 hectares. Perfect for unbelievable sunbathing on the finest powder white
sands or snorkelling in bath-water clear sea.

Celebrity Edge launched the acclaimed Edge class of ship. This is a ship that wows at
every turn from the infinite balcony staterooms with large marble bathrooms to
the ultra-cool Eden chill out lounge accessed through a dark grotto of golden
trees, to the futuristic rooftop terrace. Celebrity seems to have replaced the
conventional with amazing taking you into the future of cruising. There are 12
dining options on board, a gallery or relaxing poolside cabanas, an
asymmetrical pool area and the Magic Carpet moving entertainment space up and
down the outside edge of the ship. Seeing is believing and these Edge class
ships are worthy of the prices they rightly command- not just as a cruise
experience but an ultra-modern holiday experience.
The
resort deck pool area features an outward facing asymmetrical terraced pool
deck space that make ocean views and landscapes the focal point while lounging
poolside. Take a dip in the75 foot lap pool or relax in one of the spectacular
martini glass shaped hot tubs perched elegantly on a slender stem.
The
Magic Carpet is a cantilevered deck space on the side of the ship making these
ships profile distinctive from miles away. At the summit of the ship on deck 16
the Magic caret becomes the ultimate specialty dining restaurant offering a
special Dinner on the Edge. Down to deck 14 Magic Carpet becomes an extension
of the main pool area making the perfect place for breath-taking views,
tantalizing drinks and live music. On
deck 5 Magic Carpet extends the ship’s restaurants into the most amazing
al-fresco seating imaginable for 100 diners. At its lowest position on deck 2
Magic Carpet is a key component to Destination Getaway, a luxury embarkation
area where you will be whisked away on sleek edge launches for adventures
ashore.
The
Rooftop Garden is one of the most imaginative and carefree outdoor spaces
possible. A living, urban playscape perfect for slowing down, wandering,
daydreaming movie watching or outdoor dining. It is tended to by a resident
horticulturalist and is the perfect place to enjoy interactive games and
activities throughout the day. Enjoy the not to be missed evening entertainment
where food and film merge during ‘A Taste of Film’ and pop-up performances from
the unexpected treetop sculptures. Perhaps dine in the Rooftop Garden Grill for
a tasty selection of burgers, brisket and BBQ specialities.
Eden
is awesome in a cool futuristic way changing from a chilled café in the morning
surrounded by three stories of glass and plants, to playful activities in the
afternoon. Then at night it comes alive with specialty dining and a cocktail
bar, where performance artists surround you at every level. Even the smell
changes at night so you are truly immersed in the occasion of the evening!
