To experience the newest innovations in cruising, it makes
sense to consider cruising on a new ship. Several ships, now in the final
stages of construction, are set to make their debuts in 2020, including the
following:
Celebrity Cruises will launch the Celebrity Apex, the
second ship in its Edge series, in April. Like its sister ship, the Celebrity
Edge, the Apex will offer new-to-cruising features like the Magic
Carpet, a space that can move up and down the ship, transforming from an
expansion of the embarkation area, to a restaurant, to a bar with a Deck 16
view. The Apex will also have Infinite Veranda cabins, which use folding
windows to blend the indoors and outdoors. The ship will also feature two
fabulous new suite classes: the 2,500-square-foot Iconic Suite and the
two-level Edge Villa. The ship will make its debut out of Southampton, England,
to sail northern Europe and the Mediterranean.
Princess Cruises will add to its Royal Class with the Enchanted
Princess, set to launch in June. Passengers will enjoy familiar Princess
features like Movies Under the Stars and the adults-only Sanctuary area. The
ship will have some innovative accommodations, including Sky Suites. Each of
these expansive suites will have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dining area
with a skylight that will bring in the sunlight and starlight. A large balcony will
provide a 270-degree view from the top of the ship, including a private view of
the Movies Under the Stars screen.
In September, MSC Cruises will launch the MSC Virtuosa,
with capacity for more than 6,000 passengers. Onboard, passengers will be able
to browse a fine art museum, stroll an indoor promenade with restaurants, shops
and an LED canopy, and be entertained by Cirque du Soleil. Families will like the
new “Super Family Plus” cabins that can accommodate up to 10 people, an indoor
amusement park, an outdoor water park, and two Formula 1 race car simulators.
Royal Caribbean is keeping mum on many of the details of its
new ship set to debut in October, except its name: Odyssey of the Seas.
The line’s second Quantum Ultra Class ship is expected to feature passenger
favorites like bumper cars, a skydiving simulator and the North Star, a a glassed-in pod that extends upward for fantastic views.
