About Celebrity Solstice
Celebrity Solstice, delivered in October 2008, is the lead ship of the five-ship Solstice class and was the first post-Panamax ship in the Celebrity fleet. Built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, she has a 12-deck atrium and was christened in Fort Lauderdale by ocean scientist Sharon L. Smith. From January to March 2026 she became the first ship refitted under the Celebrity Renewed program, which added 54 cabins, new venues such as Sunset Park and Trattoria Rossa, and updates to The Retreat and AquaClass. She splits 2026-27 among Australia, Asia from Singapore and Hong Kong, and Alaska from Vancouver.
