Celebrity Cruises has relaunched Celebrity Solstice following an extensive revitalization, introducing eight new experiences including four brand-new venues as the ship begins its 2026 season.

The renewed Celebrity Solstice departed Singapore on March 2 and will sail across Asia and Australia before heading to Alaska this summer. Following its Asia and Australia sailings, the ship will then debut in Alaska for summer 2026 before embarking on a 110-night Grand Voyage on Sept. 13, 2026, visiting more than 55 unrepeated ports across Alaska, the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Asia and concluding with a New Year’s Eve arrival in Hong Kong.

The relaunch marks the start of a broader revitalization of the line’s Solstice Series ships.

New experiences, dining & entertainment 

A standout addition is Sunset Park, a new open-air destination featuring yoga, lawn games and live music with ocean views. The space includes private cabanas with dedicated attendants, a new Sunset Park Café serving breakfast and lunch and an expanded Sunset Bar offering handcrafted cocktails.

Two new restaurants join the lineup. Trattoria Rossa, new to the brand, showcases Roman and Southern Italian cuisine with house-made pastas and tableside dishes. Fine Cut Steakhouse, previously available on Edge Series ships, brings its 30-day dry-aged steaks and seafood to Celebrity Solstice.

The ship also debuts two new venues: Boulevard Lounge, a 125-seat space offering piano singalongs, karaoke and game shows, and The Parlor, a sports and gaming lounge with billiards, darts and big-screen viewing.

In The Theatre, two new production shows premiere: Smoke and Ivories and Rockumentary, alongside additional live music programming throughout the ship.

Stateroom upgrades 

All existing staterooms on Celebrity Solstice have been upgraded and 54 new cabins added, bringing the total to 1,479. Four new categories include the Panoramic Infinite Veranda Suite, two Panoramic Ocean View Suite categories, and the Deluxe Panoramic Ocean View. 

The Retreat, Celebrity Solstice’s exclusive suite-class, features a new sundeck with oversized hot tub, outdoor seating and redesigned lounge.

AquaClass staterooms, Celebrity Solstice’s wellness-focused accommodations, have also been refreshed with massaging shower heads, aromatherapy diffusers, in-room yoga mats, premium robes and sippers and a pillow menu. Guests in these staterooms also receive complimentary access to the updated exclusive restaurant Blu, and The Spa’s Persian Garden.
