As part of this revolution, Celebrity is also launching a new terminal for this latest vessel to depart. Designed to leave guests in awe, this is another milestone for the firm, as it is the line’s first ever brand-designed cruise terminal. Terminal 25 (T25), located at Port Everglades in Hollywood, Fla, has been designed to complement the sophistication of the terminal’s future resident – the industry’s most anticipated new ship, Celebrity Edge. T25 features cutting-edge technology and a sleek design, all crafted to create the ultimate guest experience. Brought to life in collaboration with Broward County’s Port Everglades and seasoned architectural firm Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc., T25 melds a gorgeous, warm design with unique technology, such as Frictionless Arrival, which will make the check-in process absolutely seamless, and an interactive light wall art installation. T25 will also offer Suite Class guests a singular experience along the path to The Retreat, with an exclusive lounge, elevator lobbies, screening areas and even a private rooftop terrace. Additionally, T25 also features a 1,463 sq. ft. GKD Mediamesh that will wrap the terminal’s exterior, juxtaposing the more than 18,000 sq. ft. of outward facing glass, and the first purpose-built crew lounge of any Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. terminal. This crew lounge will have complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity, TV access, optimized storage, quiet places for employees and more. Scheduled for completion in late October 2018, T25 will be the new home to many Celebrity ships during their winter deployment, including Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Reflection and Celebrity Silhouette. Along with these ships, the terminal will be LEED certified and able to accommodate up to a 1,150-foot-long ship. When Celebrity is not using T25 the facility will be open to other cruise lines. Both the terminal and Celebrity Edge will change the way guests cruise and make their stay even more luxurious. In need of a touch of class?
