Celebrity Solstice, part of a $250 million revitalization of the Solstice Series fleet, sailed for an inaugural Alaska season. Boarding in Vancouver brought clear skies and harbor orcas, followed by time at Sunset Park on Deck 15, an upgraded top-deck outdoor area with added seating, covered sections for sun protection, and ocean-facing cabanas. The ship also features familiar favorites such as the Sky Observation Lounge, Solarium, and Martini Bar, alongside new venues including The Parlor with a sports bar vibe and games, and the cozy Boulevard Lounge. Days at sea included a full slate of events, with time for father-and-daughter relaxation and discovery of additional amenities like the Sunset Café.
"The first in a $250 million revitalization project of the cruise line's five Solstice Series ships, Celebrity Solstice set sail for her inaugural season in Alaska earlier this month with my dad and I onboard. As soon as we embarked the ship in Vancouver, I knew I recognized her-my entire family sailed Solstice three years ago for an Alaskan celebration of my dad's 80 th birthday. It was fun to happen upon some favorite spaces from that cruise, like the Sky Observation Lounge, Solarium, and Martini Bar, while discovering new spots like The Parlor with its sports bar vibe and games (Ski-Ball, anyone?), and the cozy Boulevard Lounge."
"The day my dad and I boarded Solstice in Vancouver was postcard-perfect: crisp air, blue-bird skies, orcas frolicking in the harbor. Yearning to be outside, as soon as we dropped our bags we made our way to Sunset Park, a sweeping open-air space on Deck 15 at the top of the ship. An evolution of The Lawn Club, Celebrity's top-deck outdoor space on its Solstice Series ships that's perfect to hang out, play games, listen to live music and watch movies under the stars, the space has been transformed to include more seating in cozy vignettes, much of which is covered to protect from the sun, and ocean-facing cabanas for even more privacy."
"A full slate of events kept us busy during days at sea, but we found plenty of time to relax and enjoy some father-and-daughter time, too. It wasn't until a few days into our voyage that I discovered the Sunset Café, tucked into Sunset Park, serving small bites"
