Celebrity Cruises is investing more than $250-million to completely modernize a well-loved class of ships. Guests can look forward to eight new experiences, including four new-to-sea spaces, and many redesigned favorites which elevate everything that makes these ships unique.
The bow to stern innovations include reinvented outdoor escapes with enhanced views, new restaurants and entertainment, as well as a redesigned stay with new stateroom categories and ship-wide stateroom upgrades.
Celebrity Solstice will be the first of the Solstice Series ships to be made new again, welcoming guests for reimagined vacation experiences starting in March 2026. Her extraordinary itineraries will take guests around the world—from Alaska to Hawaii and Fiji, to Southeast Asia. On a 110-night Grand Voyage, guests will also have the opportunity to visit more than 50 ports on The Grand Voyage from September to December 2026. All 1,479 staterooms on Celebrity Solstice are getting upgrades, offering more ways to feel at home when exploring the Globe.
Bow to stern enhancements will include a design refresh to many more venues: Café Al Bacio, Cellar Masters, World Class Bar, Martini Bar, Pool Bar, Passport Bar, Blu (exclusive to AquaClass guests), Luminae (exclusive to guests of The Retreat), the Fitness Center, and Camp at Sea .
“Our Solstice Series ships represent the best of classic cruising, and now we’re elevating this vacation experience even further by adding brand new experiences and enhancements at every turn,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity. “Guests will enjoy more ways to explore and restore, all while staying true to what made our guests fall in love with these ships in the first place.”
New features aboard the renovated Solstice class ships will include:
Boulevard Lounge: Good times and glamorous vibes will take center stage at this brand-new, intimate entertainment venue. With always-on programming, from interactive daytime activities like new game shows and trivia to elevated evenings of candlelit concerts and dueling pianos, this cabaret-inspired lounge offers a dramatic new take on showtime.
Boulevard Bar: Just steps away from the lounge, guests can pull up a seat for handcrafted cocktails before or after the show—or both.
Celebrity Barcade: This new, elevated sports bar, the perfect place to both watch and play games. Guests can catch their favorite sports teams from multiple screens positioned so well they’ll never miss a pass; or challenge their friends to a round of billiards, darts, or their favorite retro board game.
New culinary options that await onboard include:
Trattoria Rossa: Step into an Italian hideaway that blends opulence with modern design to experience a restaurant that bursts with charm from every corner. The perfect setting to reignite date night, guests will have a front row seat to the action with authentic tableside preparations of dishes inspired by Italian classics, including fresh pasta made from scratch daily.
Fine Cut Steakhouse: The Forbes Travel Guide-rated steakhouse on Celebrity’s Edge Series ships will bring upscale dining with service that’s elevated to an art form. There’s something for everyone at Fine Cut Steakhouse, which offers 30-day dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood and the elevated service Celebrity is noted for.
New outdoor and on-deck venues will include:
Sunset Park: Transforming the top deck of Celebrity Solstice, Sunset Park will allow guests to enjoy great views from this half acre outdoor oasis. Plus, with elevated cuisine, refreshing cocktails, lawn games and open-air concerts.
New private cabanas: Guests can relax with sweeping ocean views and more shade, while dedicated attendants cater to them.
Expanded Sunset Bar: Drink in the views along with a refreshing cocktail, as every hour is happy hour.
New accommodations in The Retreat will include.

New Retreat Sundeck: Unwind in style at an all-new sundeck with ample outdoor seating and shade, exclusive for guests of The Retreat. Guests will relax carefree in an oversized hot tub, as they enjoy prime views from the top of the ship.
Redesigned Retreat Lounge: The perfect place to enjoy a light bite or catch up with friends over drinks, reserved for guests of The Retreat.
Enhanced accommodations with upgrades to every stateroom will include:
Refreshed AquaClass Staterooms: A fully immersive, next-level wellness vacation awaits. Every room is updated with spa-inspired elements – from massaging shower heads, aroma therapy diffusers, in-room yoga mats, luxurious robes and slippers, and even a pillow menu for the perfect night’s sleep. AquaClass guests can also enjoy complimentary access to the all-new Relaxation Lounge at The Spa.
Four brand-new stateroom categories: More ways to stay include the Panoramic Infinite Veranda Suite, Deluxe Panoramic Oceanview Suite, Panoramic Ocean View Suite and Deluxe Panoramic Ocean View. These new stateroom categories are available to book starting mid-June.
