Dining Onboard Celebrity Cruises’ Newest Ship, Celebrity Ascent
Date Posted: 01/08/2023
Making it’s debut this November, Celebrity Ascent is the fourth vessel in Celebrity Cruises’ revolutionary Edge Series. With the aim to impress and delight customers onboard they have reimagined their dining experience and unveiled details of the new culinary and beverage programme…
Main Dining Rooms
Instead of offering one designated dining room, Celebrity have made four main restaurants for you to choose from - each offering a different style of cuisine. If you’re looking for an evening of fine dining and delicious New American food, then head down to the Cosmopolitan restaurant or maybe you want to sample the fresh seafood and clean dishes at the Cyprus restaurant instead. Looking for a taste of Paris? Why not try the French contemporary dining of the Normandie restaurant or if Italian cuisine has your heart, head to the Tuscan restaurant.
An Immersive Dining Experience
One of Celebrity’s most popular dining experiences is the immersive Le Petit Chef where the multi -course dinner menu is brought to life through animation! The tiny chef tells the story behind each dish right in front of your eyes using custom 3D table art. Ascent offers a fresh take on this with an all-new fairy-tale inspired show; watch as the tiny chef comes across a mysterious cookbook filled with whimsical recipes. This unique and magical experience is topped off with an elegant menu created by a Michelin Star Chef.
Speciality Dining
Whether you’re celebrating a special birthday or are just looking for a romantic date night location, there are plenty of specialty dining options available onboard Ascent ready to give you a memorable evening. The Fine Cut Steakhouse offers endless combinations meaning there’ll always be something to satisfy your cravings. Whether you want to try the tender lamb chops or the pan roasted lobster tail you’re sure to be in for a delicious meal worth writing home about.
On deck 13 you’ll find The Magic Carpet restaurant, an outdoor area providing you with stunning views of the endless ocean as you sit back relax with a cocktail in hand. Row 5 is more of an intimate venue with a sophisticated atmosphere. You can head here for a casual menu of shrimp salad or sushi. If classic French bistro is more your vibe, then make your way over to Le Grand Bistro where the ambience changes from a morning patisserie to an evening eatery.
A New Le Voyage: Chef Daniel Boulud’s Exclusive Restaurants at Sea
World-renowned chef Daniel Boulud is bringing his highly acclaimed restaurant concept to sea on Celebrity’s newest ship! With the chance to experience a global menu crafted by the chef himself you won’t be disappointed in the exciting flavours curated from his personal travels around the world. But the food isn’t the only thing worth raving about. Bask in the luxurious atmosphere as you sit back and relax on the plush banquet seating below the shimmering chandelier. For the ultimate culinary experience why not reserve the chefs table in a private dining suite and enjoy a multi-course tasting menu paired with a divine wine selection.
Complimentary Dining
Eden is a contemporary space onboard the Edge Series ships which has proven popular with customers. The multi-use venue offers a casual lunch café, a cocktail bar, an entertainment space, an outdoor terrace, and a signature restaurant all in one! Here you will find music, libations, and performances like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
If you’re hoping to keep things healthy and refreshing then head over to the Spa Café and Juice Bar for flavourful salads and reenergizing smoothies, perfect for a hot day at sea! If you’re looking for something to sink your teeth into then Mast Grill is the place to be! Sample a delicious hearty burger, the ultimate poolside food to keep you satisfied throughout the day.
There really is somewhere different to try every day of the week and our next recommendation is the Oceanview Café!
