The Celebrity Ascent is now sailing, and at Harr Travel we could not be more excited. This brand new ship is beautiful, proving once again that Celebrity is taking cruising to the next level with their Edge Class. From the Magic Carpet experience, to the sculptural flare of the pool deck, to the enchantment of Eden, the Ascent has some of the most beautiful venues we have seen yet onboard a Celebrity ship.
Pools
THE SOLARIUMÂ | For days with cold or rainy weather, this indoor pool space is key. Here you can take a dip, enjoy the hot tubs, or just relax on the comfortable loungers found throughout the space.
THE POOL DECKÂ | The outdoor pool deck is a huge space with an amazing, large central pool. There is seating throughout including in-pool loungers for those really hot days. There is a pool bar, and you can also access the Magic Carpet bar when it is on the pool deck level.
ROOFTOP GARDEN PLUNGE POOLSÂ | Located on the edge of the ship, these infinity style plunge pools have a prime location right beside the Rooftop Garden. There is comfortable seating all around, making this a great space to relax with your friend and family while listening to the live pool deck music below.
The Retreat
This beautiful and relaxing oasis was created exclusively for the Retreat Suite guests. The Retreat is a resort-within-a-resort, where guests are provided with stunning suite accommodations, world class service, elevated dining, and private Retreat-only spaces.
Luminae Restaurant is the restaurant for Retreat guests, and features enhanced cuisine with a menu created by a Michelin star chef, and dishes by Celebrity's Global Culinary Ambassador and legendary chef- Daniel Boulud. These dishes are not found anywhere else on the ship other than the Retreat, a delicious perk for Retreat guests only! The Retreat Sundeck and Lounge are also venues exclusive to Retreat guests. Here you are provided a quiet and peaceful respite from the busy ship, keeping true to the Retreat reputation as a resort-within-a-resort. The sundeck on Ascent has several levels, and boasts a beautiful plunge pool with hanging chairs suspended over the pool for the picture perfect moment!
THE RETREAT POOLÂ | Sitting right at the front of the ship on the top level of the Retreat Sundeck, the Retreat Pool is a relaxing space with chairs suspended over the warm water and extra comfy loungers throughout. This space is for Retreat guests only, making is a peaceful oasis compared to the main pool deck.
LUMINAEÂ | Luminae is the Retreat restaurant, available for Retreat guests only. The menu is carefully crafted by the Celebrity's Michelin star chefs, and is the best food on the ship, by far!
THE RETREAT LOUNGEÂ | This is a calm and relaxing space for guests in the Retreat suites to enjoy, away from the bustle of the rest of the ship. This lounge includes the Retreat Lounge Bar where you can grab a drink and relax inside, or head out to the Retreat Sundeck and pool for a bit of fresh air and an ocean view.

Those who have reserved Aqua Class accommodations get an exciting range of amenities as well.
