Celebrity Solstice

The 2026 renewal reworked the top of the ship. The Sunset Bar now wraps around the sides, with new loungers, banquettes and tables for two and four facing the wake. Forward of it, the redesigned Sunset Park has artificial turf, big umbrellas and a large LED screen for movies and sports. The new Sunset Park Cafe serves grab-and-go breakfast and lunch, and the upgraded cabanas have a TV, a heater and in-cabana dining.

The Retreat is Celebrity's suite-only experience, and Solstice got a new Retreat Sundeck and a redesigned Retreat Lounge in 2026. The sundeck has a bar, food, a hot tub, padded loungers in sun and shade, sofas and daybeds. The lounge is open around the clock, with a Retreat concierge, a full bar, light bites, evening hors d'oeuvres and an espresso machine. Luminae serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, including dishes from Chef Daniel Boulud.

The adults-only Solarium is a fan favorite, with tall sweeping ceilings and windows that run down almost three stories. Its pool is designed so guests can sit on the edge and dip their toes in or swim laps, and there are hot tubs on either side. The renewal brought new padded loungers, some facing the pool and others facing the sea. In the corner, the Spa Café serves lighter breakfast and lunch bites and a full juice bar.

The Oceanview Café is the complimentary buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stations rotate through made-to-order sandwiches, soups, a cheese spread for building a charcuterie board, pizza, a pasta station, carved meats, Mexican and international specials and a grill. Breakfast adds made-to-order eggs, pancakes, waffles and bacon. A second coffee bar at the entrance turns into a full bar later in the day, and the Oceanview Bar serves the aft terrace.

All the way forward, the Sky Observation Lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows about a story and a half tall that wrap around the room. Danny calls it one of the better observation lounges at sea, and it's the place to be for scenic cruising. During the day it's bright and calm. At night it becomes the late-night party spot, with a wraparound bar, a dance floor, different musical acts every night and live band karaoke.

The Spa offers massages, facials and wraps, plus a full-service salon and barber shop. Treatments start in the relaxation room, with infused waters and teas. The Persian Garden thermal suite has heated stone loungers with views out the side, an herbal steam room, an aromatic room that works as a sauna, and experience showers. It's included for AquaClass guests, and everyone else can buy access on board. The fitness center has ocean-view cardio machines and classes.

Sushi on Five pairs a sushi bar with booths along the windows and a menu of Japanese dishes, ramen, rolls, sashimi and nigiri, plus Japanese beers. Murano serves traditional, elevated French cuisine, with Dover sole deboned tableside and a lobster flambéed in front of guests. Next door, the Chef's Table offers a wine-paired, multi-course dinner featuring dishes from Chef Daniel Boulud for only about eight guests. All three are specialty experiences with an extra cost.

Solstice has plenty of places to gather in the evening. The Ensemble Lounge, just outside Murano, has live musicians every night and seating along the windows, and it's a quiet spot to read during the day. Solstice is home to Celebrity's original ice-topped Martini Bar, with flair bartending from late afternoon into the early morning. Nearby, Cellar Masters is a cozy wine bar with tastings, comfortable nooks and sommeliers to suggest a pour.
