Celebrity Solstice in Seattle

Cruise News from Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Solstice has arrived to her summer home in Seattle. This is the first time a Solstice-class ship is sailing in Alaska and it is very exciting.  I am thrilled to be part of the welcoming committee for the next couple days sailing out of Seattle on a cruise to nowhere. This two-day event will host members of the media and travel professionals who will experience the 122-ton wonder-ship.

A few of my favorite things ….

One of five sister ships, Celebrity Solstice has been recognized for her unique interior designs and architecture, which includes a two-story library, an engaging entertainment program, an amazing art collection as well as a handful of specialty restaurants inspired created by Chef Jacques Van Staden’s who has taken cruise ship food to a whole new level.

Smile….

I took the opportunity to take a photo of the photographer who captured my smile upon embarkation.

Welcome aboard photo.

The Celebrity Cruises brand has all my favorite features: specialty restaurants, a wellness program, and modern-luxury touches. I have waited to meet Celebrity Solstice since her inaugural in 2008. The ship received nods from the travel community for her innovations: Solstice was the first ship to have a Lawn Club and a Hot Glass-blowing studio at sea.
