Celebrity Cruise Line recently revealed Eden, a combination
lounge, dining and entertainment area aboard their new Edge-class ship. To me, I
think of Eden as a garden paradise anchored in the center by The Tree-of-Life.
From what I have seen and read thus far, Celebrity designers have taken that
same association and developed it even further creating an amazing architectural
wonder.
Spanning three decks at the aft of the ship, this multi-use
space is clearly nature-themed… there’s even a living tree in the dining area
(a feature of Celebrity's Solstice class ships)! However, with almost 7,000 square feet of glass
that reaches 32 feet high, one cannot ignore the connectivity to the ocean, and
isn’t that what people want when vacationing at sea?
The mood, the feel, the function of Eden changes throughout
the day. In the morning, Eden is a serene, relaxing spot. Some may want to participate
in an early morning yoga class while others will find it a great place to
contemplate the day ahead, gazing at the sea with a cup of coffee.
Later in the day one can escape from the fiery sun and busy
pool deck for a wine demonstration, hands-on enrichment seminar, or tastings. I
would start with that, then search out a perfect spot to curl up with a good
book. The afternoon also features performances from sitar players to
aerialists.
Guests looking for a unique dining experience will find it
at the restaurant in Eden where amazing dishes are prepared right in front of
them. Throughout the meal, costumed performers called “Edenists” move freely
between tables.
The Eden Bar is a “go-to” place for after dinner drinks. Here,
the Library of Plants towers 18 feet above Eden Bar, offering its bounty of
fresh ingredients and garnishes for hand-crafted, artisanal cocktails.
Are you ready to experience Eden for yourself? CelebrityEdge will homeport in Fort Lauderdale, FL., making her first sailing December
16, 2018. She will offer two 7-night itineraries: an eastern and a western
Caribbean cruise.
