X Marks the Ships

Celebrity Cruises effectively broke the mould in higher end cruising with the launch of it’s Solstice class ships, matching high quality and real sophistication with ambitious scale - now with five new ships, each in excess of 120,000 tonnes.The concept was to offer up to 3,000 guests a luxurious and smoothly-functioning cruising environment in which they would never feel crowded, but totally relaxed and well looked-after. It clearly worked. Praised for their innovative design, imagination and high standards, Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice class ships are now thoroughly established and attracting new and experienced cruisers of all ages and tastes.

Eclipse • Equinox • Silhouette • Solstice • Reflection

Modern Luxury Celebrity Style

Our recommendations...

Enjoy Modern Luxury Abroad Solstice class ships each offer more than 85% of their staterooms with balcony.

Top quality fittings and amenities grace multiple cabin types - from the towering Sky Suites to the comfortable, inviting Interior Staterooms - and for spa-lovers the specially-designed and located AquaClass rooms. Half an acre of real lawn up top is a focus for relaxation, country-club activities and the engaging Hot Glass Show (glass-blowing). Evening entertainment is eclectic and varied - intimate cocktails with jazz; high energy dancing; big theatre variety, and dining is diverse - with wonderful world cuisines on offer.The ships pride themselves on presenting award-winning dining from Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Navigating Your Solstice Class Cruise Ship Guest flow is key to the design of Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice class ships. Of course, each of the five has her own unique character traits, but - in general terms the ships are beautifully organised, with entertainment (e.g theatre) forward, dining options aft, and shopping and casinos mid-ship. For first-time and veteran cruisers, this makes the ships quick to get to know and comfortable to navigate around - important on big, beautiful vessels that can be home to up to 3,000 guests. And it’s this thoughtful design that gives the Solstice class ships their spacious, intimate feel whilst still offering a myriad of facilities.

Roaming The World’s Oceans The five Solstice class ships are sailing waters as diverse as those of Australia and Scandinavia, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean in 2013 and 2014. Solstice can be found in the southern oceans; Eclipse is featuring cruises from the UK in her programme, and destinations like the Med, the Canaries and (intriguingly) the Azores, Scandinavia and the Baltic; and she and Equinox will winter in the Caribbean. Celebrity Reflection and Celebrity Silhouette will roam the Mediterranean - from Gibraltar to the Greek Islands, and the Caribbean - east and west, during summer and winter respectively.

Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice Class ships have established a new benchmark in design, sophistication, facilities and dining … and it’s for the best of reasons that their appeal is encapsulated as ‘Modern Luxury’.

SHIP SIZE Each weighing in at around 120,000 tonnes, Solstice class ships are - by today’s standards - amongst the world’s biggest and rightly praised for their superb passenger flow-led design.

GUESTS & CREW A crew of up to 1,500 is on hand to look after Solstice class guests - up to 3,000 (depending on the ship) when at her busiest; a service ratio of c2:1.
