Out of the total, an impressive six awards were given to the restaurants on its recent Edge-class ships. Celebrity Ascent, the latest addition to the fleet, which is set to launch in November 2023, has already received two “Best Of” awards for the wine offerings at Le Voyage, the second installment of Daniel Boulud’s restaurants at sea; and at its rustic and elegant Italian restaurant, Tuscan. Her sister ship, Celebrity Beyond, also received “Best Of” nods for the same venues.
“We’re always working hard to go above and beyond for our guests, and this recognition by the Wine Spectator experts shows just how dedicated we are to offering the best culinary experiences at sea,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “We are honored to continue to be the only cruise line with the highest recognition, and thrilled that our newest vessel, Celebrity Ascent, also made the list.”
