Approaching for example the sea, from the city center, the small swing bridge of Perthuis, in the middle of the basins. Attention, the bridge of the Joubert, then, is closed.

The Celebrity Edge is armed by another company and is shorter than the two previous Shipbuilding liners. But it is more original. 306 meters, an inverted silhouette and an outdoor lift with a bar.
