CELEBRITY ADDING TWO NEW SHIPS

We are big fans of the Celebrity Cruise experience, and that cruise line had some exciting news to announce Thursday.
They have signed on to build two new ships. The two 2,900-guest, 117,000-gross-registered-ton ships, will be developed under the project name EDGE. Here's more from their press release:

"At 984 feet long, 123 feet wide and 190 feet high, Project EDGE will deliver small ship itineraries with large ship amenities, a perfect vacation experience in step with today’s premium vacationer.

"Our new class of ship will set the standard for premium world travel and deliver the next generation of modern luxury experiences that our guests know and love,” said Michael Bayley, president and chief executive officer of Celebrity Cruises.

"These vessels also represent a significant leap forward in environmentally friendly ship design, benefiting from new technologies to drive significant fuel efficiency and an ongoing process to ensure the extensive use of sustainable materials.

"The company expects delivery of the first ship in Fall 2018, with the second vessel delivered in the early part of 2020."
