We sailed on Celeb Solstice to the Mexican Riviera a couple of years earlier, and while we still took pleasure in the cruise, it was clear the ship was due for an update. So much felt out-of-date, especially in the cabin. This refresh feels long overdue.
The objective is to bring the Solstice-class ships more in line with the modern Edge-class visual, both in style and experience. That suggests rejuvenated cabins, upgraded public spaces, upgraded dining establishments, and enhancements to suite locations like The Retreat. The most recent variation of Le Petit Chef, Celeb’s animated 3D dining experience, will likewise be presented consistently throughout the class. Digital upgrades and sustainability improvements become part of the plan too.
Star Solstice is scheduled to enter dry dock in Singapore at some point in 2026. After that, Celebrity Equinox and the rest of the Solstice class will follow, with all upgrades anticipated to be total by mid-2027.
These ships assisted shape what the contemporary Celeb experience looked like when they debuted– Solstice released in 2008– however it’s time they overtook the remainder of the fleet. And based on what Celebrity has actually described up until now, that’s precisely what’s occurring.
