Aboard Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Beyond with Gwyneth Paltrow Partnership
Imagine riding a floating cocktail bar or dancing at a silent disco with Dr. Ranj—these are just some of the unexpected delights awaiting passengers on Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Beyond, a luxury vessel launched in 2022. With Simone Biles, a nineteen-time World Champion and seven-time Olympic Medalist, serving as its godmother, this next-generation cruise ship redefines opulence at sea.
Design and Partnerships: A Dream Team at Sea
Celebrity Beyond boasts a chic and innovative design crafted by globally renowned figures such as Kelly Hoppen, Nate Berkus, Jouin Manku, and Tom Wright. This collaboration results in one of the most luxurious and modern floating hotels on the oceans. The ship's allure is further enhanced by partnerships with Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, who brings culinary mastery, and Gwyneth Paltrow, CEO and founder of goop, who serves as Celebrity Cruises' new wellbeing advisor. Together, they create a dream team focused on elevated dining and wellness experiences.
Luxury Accommodations and Exclusive Spaces
At over 140,000 gross tonnes and accommodating 3,260 passengers, Celebrity Beyond is a substantial vessel, yet it offers ample secluded areas. The Retreat, an exclusive resort within the ship, features a two-storey Sundeck with cosy cabanas, hot tubs, a pool bar, and the private restaurant Luminae. Accommodations include lavish Edge Villas designed by Kelly Hoppen, complete with outdoor plunge pools, and the Iconic Suites—the largest in the fleet, offering views that surpass even the captain's quarters.
Culinary Delights and Innovative Venues
With 32 dining and cocktail venues, the culinary scene on Celebrity Beyond is unparalleled. Highlights include Le Voyage, the first Daniel Boulud fine-dining restaurant at sea, and Le Petit Chef at Le Grand Bistro, where 3D animations project a miniature chef onto your table, guiding you through a global culinary journey between courses. The Grand Plaza spans three decks, centered around a martini bar under a stunning chandelier. For al fresco dining, the Rooftop Garden on Deck 15 offers panoramic sea views, cantilevered float pools, and sunken seating areas, while the Sunset Bar by Nate Berkus provides a beach club atmosphere with cascading terraces.
Unique Features and Wellness Focus
Celebrity Beyond introduces the Magic Carpet, a glass-roofed, cantilevered platform that slides up and down the ship's side, reaching 13 stories above the ocean. It hosts up to 100 guests for sunset dining experiences with live music. Wellness is a key focus, with the adults-only Solarium featuring a glass dome-covered pool and hot tubs, and the SEA Thermal Suite offering a Turkish Hammam, salt room, steam room, infrared sauna, and healing crystalarium. This makes the ship ideal for those seeking a detox rather than a retox.
