Celebrity Apex

Edge class · Northern Europe & Fjords

The second Edge-class ship, Celebrity Apex entered service in 2020 and began full-scale cruises in 2021. With 130,818 GT and capacity for 2,910 guests, she is a well-balanced size within the series. Recent itineraries have focused on Northern Europe from Southampton, including the Norwegian fjords and the Baltic Sea, with summer 2027 sailings from the same port scheduled. Her expanded outdoor viewing spaces make her well suited to scenic cruises.

Gratuities
Charged automatically: the gratuity is added to your SeaPass (onboard payment card) account for each night. Prepayment is also possible, and after boarding you can adjust or remove the amount at Guest Relations. Importantly, since the revision of October 4, 2023, choosing an All Included fare (formerly Always Included) no longer includes the daily gratuities for stateroom attendants and dining staff, which are charged automatically on top (the only thing included is a service charge equivalent to 20% on drink costs within the drinks package).
Payment
Cashless onboard
Voltage
Both 110V (North American style) and 220V (European style) are available in the cabin.
Formal nights
The number of "Evening Chic" nights varies with cruise length: about 1 for cruises under 7 nights, 2 for 7 to 11 nights, and 3 for 12 nights or more (participation is optional, and it is not a mandatory formal night).
Medical facilities
Each ship has a medical center staffed by doctors and nurses. Consultations are charged: a general consultation during office hours is reported to cost around $100, while after-hours visits and cabin visits cost more ($165 to $205 or so). Nurse visits generally cost about half the doctor's fee, and charges are billed to your SeaPass account.
Bringing items onboard
On embarkation day only, each adult may bring up to 1 bottle of wine/champagne (750 ml) (boxed wine and the like are not allowed). If it is opened and drunk in restaurants, bars and the like, a corkage fee of about $35 per bottle applies, but this is waived for holders of the Classic/Premium drinks package and when drinking in your cabin. Other alcohol purchased at ports of call is held by staff at boarding and returned near the final day of the cruise.
Mobile and connectivity
Mobile phone roaming at sea (Cellular at Sea) follows each person's own carrier's maritime roaming rate plan and is not a Celebrity charge. Messaging and calls via a Wi-Fi package are priced under a separate system, so to avoid roaming charges, airplane mode plus onboard Wi-Fi is generally recommended.
