Celebrity Cruises’ ship, the Celebrity Apex, has officially arrived at Port Canaveral, marking the beginning of its first-ever season sailing from Central Florida. The Edge-Series vessel will operate seven-night Caribbean cruises from 2025 through April 2026, visiting some of the region’s top destinations.
The arrival of Celebrity Apex adds to Port Canaveral’s growing lineup of premium cruise offerings, joining major cruise lines that use the port as a base for Caribbean trips. This development provides travelers in Florida and the Southeast with easier access to one of Celebrity’s most modern ships without needing to fly to South Florida.
“We’re thrilled to bring this elevated style of cruising to guests sailing from Port Canaveral,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “Our Edge Series ships have transformed the premium vacation experience, offering world-class amenities, exceptional dining, and dynamic entertainment.”
The Celebrity Apex is the second ship in Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series and is considered one of the most distinctive and modern cruise ships currently sailing.
