Celebrity Ascent is the newest, most innovative ship to join the fleet of modern cruise ships from Celebrity Cruises. As the fourth ship in the revolutionary Edge Class series, Celebrity Ascent has so much to offer. With a vast array of accommodations available onboard, Celebrity Ascent is home to some of the most luxurious suites at sea. Everything from affordable interior cabins to $60,000 suites with multiple bedrooms are available to book on this billion-dollar cruise ship.
Suites onboard Celebrity Ascent are more than just spacious cabins to sail in. Imagine having your own personal butler to tend to all of your needs, along with your own sundeck with a personal hot tub, daybed, and chairs. While you can find plenty of expensive suites on Celebrity Ascent, the most expensive suite is the lavish Iconic Suite.
This suite is an astonishing 2,400 square feet, making it extremely comfortable for a couple traveling together or even a family. The Iconic Suite is also considered the largest and most luxurious suite in Celebrity Cruises' fleet with more space than any other cabin onboard.
The Iconic Suite has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with its own living room, private terrace, and butler pantry. Upon entering the suite, you can see the large sectional in the heart of the stateroom. On Celebrity Ascent, the Iconic suite is cabin 12100, which is located high above the bridge of the ship.
The couch is adorned with plush pillows that accent the green hues of the suite. It feels spacious but also warm and inviting. The Iconic Suite was thoughtfully designed and decorated to create an upscale, yet comfortable, ambiance.
Adjacent to the sectional you can find two chairs to complete the living room. There’s no shortage of seating in the Iconic Suite with the abundance of space. The living room of the Iconic Suite feels massive and also features a large TV and multiple tables surrounding the sectional.
Inside the Iconic Suite, you will also enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping views of the sea. The Iconic Suite allows guests to take in some of the most stunning scenery from Celebrity Ascent with panoramic views. All of the tables are decorated with chic pieces of artwork to create a modern space.
One of the signature features of the Iconic Suite is the gold-rimmed green swing in the corner of the living room. With all of the windows in this massive suite, this is one of the best places onboard Celebrity Ascent to take in the ocean views.
Opposite of the living room, you can find a large dining room table with a black marble table top. If you choose to eat outside of the Iconic Suite, you'll receive unlimited access for lunch and dinner at all specialty restaurants onboard.
The Iconic Suite is also part of The Retreat, an exclusive area for suite guests only, which includes additional access to the suite-only Luminae restaurant.
Guests of the Iconic Suite will not need to head to the ship's gym to get in a workout, as those looking to get some exercise in during their cruise vacation on Celebrity Ascent will appreciate the private exercise bike. Located in its own nook of the suite, this state-of-the-art bike is another exclusive feature of this opulent suite.
Off the side of the living room is the entrance to the primary bedroom of the Iconic Suite. Beautifully designed, the primary bedroom has a comfortable king bed for guests to use that faces the front of the ship. There are floor-to-ceiling windows to provide even more panoramic views of the sea.
In the evening, the touch of a button will automatically close the shades so you can ensure the room is dark for sleeping.
Of course, in the morning, guests of the Iconic Suite can take in the sunrise while sitting in two perfectly placed chairs. Could there be a better spot for sipping coffee in the morning?

The bathroom is stunning with marble accents and warm lighting throughout, making the space feel grand. Both white and black marble are used in the space. The primary bathroom in the Iconic Suite is so large and luxurious that it's easy to forget you're on a cruise ship!

The second bedroom in the Iconic Suite is notably smaller than the primary bedroom. Still, though, there's a comfortable king bed for guests to use.

Speaking of terrace, the Iconic Suite has one of the largest private balconies in the entire fleet of Celebrity Cruise ships. The terrace itself is around 700 square feet, which is more than double the size of a standard inside cabin on Celebrity Ascent.
As you'd expect in a $60,000 suite, having access to a private sundeck would be very important. This large terrace has its own whirlpool, plushy daybed, two chairs, and a small table. The terrace is covered with beautiful greenery, which perfectly matches the green hues inside the suite.
