Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Solstice is the first of a series of five revolutionary ships known as the “Post-Panmax Class” to be built at the Meyer Werft Ship Yards in Germany. Each year until 2012 a new ship will added to the fleet. At 122,000-tons, the Celebrity Solstice is the largest ship ever built for Celebrity Cruises, with another four to follow.

General Information and Specifications: She entered service in October 2008 and operates the ever popular Florida, Caribbean regions. She accommodates 2,850 passengers, which for her size is a low number. She is 314,80m long and has a beam of 36,80m. There are 12 passenger decks: 12, and she operated at an average cruising speed of 24 knots. Her total installed power is 91.364 kW, having the famed - Azipods drives all built by Meyer Werft - Germany in Yard no 675. She is registered in Valletta Malta.
