10th Nov 2027 | 15 nights | Celebrity Cruises | Celebrity Solstice
Step aboard Celebrity Solstice and you’ll find a ship that blends modern luxury with a fresh new look following her 2026 refurbishment. As the original Solstice Class ship, she set the standard for Celebrity’s contemporary style, and now features reimagined public spaces, upgraded accommodation and new dining concepts. The once-famous Lawn Club has evolved into Sunset Park, an open-air social space with relaxed seating, lawn games and ocean views, giving the ship a more social and versatile top-deck atmosphere.
There’s plenty to keep you entertained on Celebrity Solstice, whether you’re in the mood for activity or relaxation. You can spend your day by the outdoor pool, retreat to the adults-only Solarium, or unwind in the spa and Persian Garden. The 2026 refurbishment introduced The Parlor, a new sports bar and gaming space, alongside the stylish Boulevard Lounge, adding fresh energy to the ship’s entertainment offering. Evenings bring theatre performances, live music and cocktails at signature venues like the Martini Bar and Sunset Bar, while Sunset Park now offers live music and outdoor social events in place of the old grass lawn.
Dining aboard Celebrity Solstice offers both familiar favourites and exciting new additions. The elegant Grand Epernay Restaurant remains the centrepiece for main dining, while speciality venues such as Murano, Tuscan Grille and Sushi on Five continue to offer elevated experiences. Following the refit, Celebrity introduced Trattoria Rossa and Fine Cut Steakhouse, bringing popular Edge-class dining concepts to Solstice for the first time. For casual meals, the Oceanview Café and the new Sunset Park Café provide flexible options throughout the day.
Your stateroom on Celebrity Solstice has also been refreshed as part of the ship-wide modernisation, with updated furnishings and spa-inspired enhancements across all categories. You can choose from Inside, Ocean View, Veranda and Suite accommodation, with newer panoramic suite categories added during the refurbishment. For those seeking a more exclusive experience, The Retreat now offers upgraded suites, a redesigned lounge and an all-new sundeck with an oversized hot tub, giving suite guests an even more luxurious private space to enjoy.
Modern types who prefer a whimsical approach to onboard dining, drinking, décor and entertainment
Anyone scared off by being trendy; boisterous families; cruisers who want dining variety without paying extra
Celebrity draws a broad range of travellers, most attracted by the cuisine, unusual entertainment and creative itineraries. Passenger ages typically average in the 50s, with family groups more visible in the summer and during school vacations. The longer and more exotic cruises usually host an older demographic, and the passenger mix varies with the port of embarkation but most are from North America, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.
Yes and no. The norm on most Celebrity sailings is smart-casual, but in the Galapagos, attire is casual. Despite the daytime casual vibe, you won't find T-shirts, swimsuits, robes, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps or swimwear in the main restaurant or specialty restaurants at any time. Formal nights (held once on cruises six nights or shorter, twice on longer itineraries) have been replaced by Evening Chic, where anything from cocktail attire to formal wear is appropriate. The dress code also extends to the theatre on those evenings.
No. The cruise fare for a Celebrity cruise covers dining in several complimentary venues, including the Main Dining Room, Oceanview Café buffet restaurant, Spa Café, Mast Grill (on most ships) and Seaside Grill. Room service is also complimentary, except for the period between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Passengers staying at certain suite levels have additional complimentary dining privileges, and those staying in AquaClass rooms can dine in the Blu restaurant without charge. Water, basic coffee and tea, and certain juices are provided free of charge, but unless you're booked in certain suite categories, you'll have to pay extra for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. The extensive entertainment from Broadway-style theatre to circus shows, comedy, magic, dance and live music is all available without charge. The kids' program is also free, though you'll pay extra for babysitting. Shore excursions are not covered by cruise fares, nor are gratuities, spa and salon services and some fitness classes. There is also a fee for Wi-Fi and laundry services.
On ships with the Lawn Club, hanging out on the grass, whether playing bocce or just relaxing and reading, is one of the most popular activities for Celebrity cruisers. Other popular things to do on these ships is lounge in the adults-only Solarium, hit the Canyon Ranch Spa or participate in wine tasting. Some ships also offer hot glassmaking demonstrations and classes; sign up early for the classes because they fill up fast. On ships without a Lawn Club, relaxing by the pool or in the Solarium is popular, as are the once- or twice-per-cruise Rooftop film and dinner events. At night, Celebrity showcases everything from Vegas-style production shows to comedians and cabaret, drawing a crowd each time. The ships have a robust program for kids, a lot of it centred on edutainment. Many of the activities are offered courtesy of partners like Anturus, Lonely Planet, Xbox, Fat Brain Toys and Budsies.
