Celebrity Cruises’ revitalized Celebrity Solstice has returned to service with eight new experiences onboard, including four new-to-Celebrity venues.

The relaunch of Celebrity Solstice marks the beginning of the Celebrity’s major revitalization of its Solstice Class ships.

Bow-to-stern enhancements include the addition of four public venues – Trattoria Rossa, Sunset Park, The Parlor, and Boulevard Lounge – along with refreshed accommodations and 54 additional staterooms, including four new stateroom categories to bring the ship to a total of 1,479 cabins.

“Celebrity Solstice launched our Solstice Series ships and defined a generation of Celebrity Cruises travel. This reimagination honors that heritage while setting a new standard for what an elevated vacation can be,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “Every new experience was designed around how our guests want to spend their time, backed by the unmatched hospitality that defines every Celebrity Cruises sailing.”

New Top Deck Outdoor Destination — Sunset Park

Sunset Park is the ship’s new top-deck outdoor destination, featuring activities spanning yoga, lawn games, live music, and more. New extra-fee private cabanas offer shaded space to relax and come with personal attendant service.

 The new Sunset Park Caféoffers casual bistro dining for breakfast and lunch, with breakfast serving an assortment of sandwiches, quiches, and pastries, and lunch offering fresh salads, wraps, and charcuterie boards.

Also on the top deck, an expanded Sunset Bar offers handcrafted cocktails.

New Dining — Trattoria Rossa and Fine Cut Steakhouse

Two new restaurants have been added onboard Celebrity Solstice. Trattoria Rossa, new to Celebrity Cruises, is an Italian restaurant serving Roman and Southern Italian cuisine that includes seafood, classic meat dishes, pastas, and tableside preparations such as chicken parmesan and Caesar salad.

Celebrity staple Fine Cut Steakhouse was also added, offering 30-day dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood, and more.

New Entertainment – Boulevard Lounge, The Parlor, and New Theater Productions

Celebrity Solstice debuts two new entertainment venues for the brand. Boulevard Lounge, a 125-seat venue, delivers all-day programming – from piano bar singalongs and karaoke to new game shows – with Boulevard Bar offering handcrafted cocktails directly adjacent.

The ship’s new sports and gaming lounge, The Parlor is the perfect place for friendly competition over billiards, darts, and throwback board games – or to watch sports on the big screen. The venue offers a selection of craft cocktails, including the signature Red Basil Smash (gin, lemon, basil, and red wine), as well as Celebrity Cruises’ award-winning wines and whiskies. Guests will also find shareable bites and elevated takes on comfort-food classics.

In The Theatre, two production shows are making their Celebrity Solsticedebut. Smoke and Ivories celebrates the iconic sound of the 1950s while Rockumentary isa live concert experience recreating landmark rock performances across the decades.

Guests will also find new entertainment experiences throughout the ship, including a candle-lit concert featuring live, string renditions of rock performances.

Stateroom Upgrades – Four New Room Categories, Updates to The Retreat and AquaClass

All existing staterooms on Solstice were fully upgraded, and 54 new staterooms were added for a total of 1,479 cabins. Four new stateroom categories on the ship were added: the Panoramic Infinite Veranda Suite, two Panoramic Ocean View Suite categories, and the Deluxe Panoramic Ocean View.

Guests in The Retreat will find a brand-new sundeck with an oversized hot tub, dedicated outdoor seating, and a redesigned private lounge.

AquaClass staterooms were refreshed with spa-inspired amenities including massaging shower heads, aromatherapy diffusers, in-room yoga mats, premium robes and slippers, and a pillow menu.

 Ship-wide enhancements extend to returning venues as well: Café Al Bacio, Cellar Masters, World Class Bar, Martini Bar, Pool Bar, Passport Bar, the Fitness Center, and Camp at Sea, as well as Luminae, a restaurant exclusive to guests of The Retreat.

After sailing through Asia and Australia, the renewed Celebrity Solstice will make its Alaska season debut in Summer 2026.
