SAINT-NAZAIRE, France, Jan. 29,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrity Beyond, the third ship
in the highly acclaimed, award-winning Edge Series from Celebrity

today as the first piece of steel was cut at the Chantiers de
l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.

takes the onboard vacation experience to the pinnacle; and now with
Celebrity Beyond, we're charting new territory once again,"
added Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president
and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. "While we can't say much just yet, with
Celebrity Beyond three's a charm."
