Celebrity's newest Edge-class ship on an 11-night 'Best of Southern Caribbean' route from Fort Lauderdale — six island calls, from St. Maarten down to Barbados and back via St. Kitts.
Why choose this cruise
Best for
Island Variety · Dining · Longer Trip
Why it fits
- ✓ Newest Edge-class ship — The Retreat, Magic Carpet, Rooftop Garden
- ✓ Longer 11-night route reaches deeper into the Southern Caribbean than a typical 7-night sailing
- ✓ Six island calls without a Panama Canal transit, so the time is spent in the islands themselves
