CELEBRITY SOLSTICE

Inaugural dateNov 23, 2008
Occupancy2852
Refurbish date2021
Celebrity Solstice is more than a ship. It’s a destination in itself, one that changed the game with new experiences that had never been seen at sea before. That includes The Lawn Club, where you can kick back on the grass, take in a live concert, get lost in a good book, or just soak up the ocean views. Our ice-topped Martini Bar is the center of the action on Celebrity Solstice, and it became such a hit, it’s now a fleet-wide institution. The restaurants set a whole new bar for dining at sea, with our first-ever Tuscan Grille and our elegant and intimate Murano. Slow things down at The Spa or kick up your endorphins at the Fitness Center. And let us entertain you morning, noon, and night, from our incredible theater productions to live pop-up performances around the ship to non-stop thrills at the casino. Plus, you can share your vacation memories as they happen with Starlink high-speed internet.

Ready to restore like never before? Celebrity Solstice has the perfect accommodations for you. This ship introduced more verandas than we had ever had at the time, so you can enjoy your own private views whenever you want them. Experience the thoughtful details of Concierge Class or the spa-inspired extras of AquaClass®, featuring access to our Blu restaurant and The Spa’s Persian Garden. And then, there’s The Retreat®, where the suite life is elevated with personal butler service, private dining, and an exclusive lounge. Make yourself at home—oceans away from home—on Celebrity Solstice.
