Celebrity Cruises, the premium market unit in the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCCL) group, will offer cruises from the UK on its new Edge class vessels, two of which are on order at STX France, Travel Weeklly reports in a daily newsletter.

“An Edge [ship] will be a world traveller. It will take affluent travellers to all the continents of the world in the most unusual and unique way," Michael Bayley, president of the company was quoted by Travel Weekly as saying. “It is a destination ship and we will definitely be offering sailings from the UK on her as she travels around the world.” Bayley has since moved to Royal Caribbean International, the RCCL group's contemporary market unit.

Bayley said bookings for Edge will open earlier than usual for a new ship with itineraries going on sale by the end of 2015. "Pricing always finds its natural place but, with things on Edge that are genuinely exceptional, we believe it could be priced quite high," he was quoted as saying.
