Celebrity Cruises has relaunched the Celebrity
Solstice following a major refurbishment. The ship departed Singapore on March
2 with eight new onboard experiences, including four entirely new venues:
Trattoria Rossa, Sunset Park, The Parlor and Boulevard Lounge.
The refurbishment also includes upgraded
accommodations across the ship. All existing staterooms have been modernized,
and 54 additional cabins have been added along with four new cabin categories,
bringing the total to 1,479 staterooms.
New dining, entertainment and outdoor spaces
Among the highlights is Sunset Park, a new open-air
social space on the top deck offering activities such as yoga, lawn games and
live music alongside ocean views. Guests can also enjoy casual dining at the
Sunset Park Café and cocktails at the expanded Sunset Bar.
Two new restaurants have been introduced: Trattoria
Rossa, serving Roman and Southern Italian cuisine, and Fine Cut Steakhouse,
known for its dry-aged steaks and seafood.
New entertainment venues include the Boulevard Lounge,
which hosts piano singalongs, karaoke and game shows, and The Parlor, a sports
and gaming lounge with billiards, darts and live sports screenings.
Global itineraries and a 110-night Grand Voyage
Following itineraries in Asia and Australia, the
revitalized Celebrity Solstice will begin its Alaska season in summer 2026.
Later in the year, the ship will embark on a 110-night Grand Voyage starting
September 13, visiting more than 55 ports across Alaska, the South Pacific,
Australia, New Zealand and Asia before concluding in Hong Kong.
