Celebrity Apex arrived in 2020 as the second Edge-class ship, refining the innovations her sister introduced. The Eden venue expanded its culinary theatre with new immersive performances, and the Rooftop Garden got a larger living wall and more seating. Apex introduced an enhanced AquaClass programme: a wellness-focused stateroom category with exclusive access to the Blu restaurant and the spa's Persian Garden thermal suite. Her Mediterranean debut was pushed back by the pandemic, which made her eventual maiden voyage one of the most anticipated sailing events in recent memory. Apex showed that Edge's ideas weren't one-offs but the start of a new standard.
