Celebrity Cruises has announced another new revolutionary space for their upcoming new ship Celebrity Edge.
The Meeting Place, is a 1,970-square-foot venue commanding a central location on the ship, complemented by brilliant, awe-inspiring views like no other meeting space on land or at sea. With soundproof dividers, advanced audiovisual capabilities, varied seating options, private office space for event planners, dynamic mobile bars set up for food and beverages, and a fully equipped pantry with a bar, the possibilities for this venue are truly endless.
Dondra Ritzenthaler, Senior Vice President of Sales, Trade Support and Service, Celebrity Cruises said:
“Of course, the most advanced ship we’ve ever designed would include the most exciting venues for get-togethers, including The Meeting Place,”
“When you host events at sea, you really elevate your brand. Imagine the spectacular conferences, trade shows, weddings, and reunions you can plan with the gorgeous Celebrity Edge as your setting and an ocean as your brilliant backdrop.”
The Meeting Place will feature innovative technology at guests’ fingertips. Audiovisual systems — from wireless microphones to a mini sound board — come as standard equipment. An electronic whiteboard helps capture brainstorming sessions easily, while the impressive 98-inch and 75-inch LED screens add a powerful punch to business meetings and a subtle mood for social occasions.
Scott Butler, AIA, Founding Partner, Wilson Butler Architects said:
“When designing The Meeting Place we asked ourselves what would be more appealing; being subjected to lectures in a conference room, or socializing with colleagues in a hip lounge?’ The latter seemed obvious. Thus the flexibility and functionality of a ‘state of the art’ meeting space was designed for pleasure first,”
“The word that defines The Meeting Place is ‘connected’. It facilitates guests getting connected to one another; to the latest technology and to the greatest new ideas. It also happens to connect to other venues on the ship that vastly expand the opportunities for groups.”
Departing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Celebrity Edge will sail alternating 7 night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries starting in December 2018.
