Celebrity Cruises is investing more than $250 million to modernize its Solstice Series ships, starting with Celebrity Solstice. For 2026, guests can look forward to eight new experiences, including four new-to-sea spaces and many redesigned favorites. Bow-to-stern innovations include “reinvented” outdoor escapes with enhanced views, new restaurants and entertainment, and new stateroom categories and ship-wide stateroom upgrades.
Celebrity Solstice will be the first of the Solstice Series ships to be refurbished, welcoming guests starting March 2026. All 1,479 staterooms onboard will receive upgrades. Other highlights include:
- Boulevard Lounge – At this new cabaret-inspired lounge, guests can enjoy interactive daytime activities such as new game shows and trivia, candlelit concerts and dueling pianos in the evenings, and more.
- Boulevard Bar – Just steps away from the lounge, guests can pull up a seat for handcrafted cocktails before or after the show—or both.
- Celebrity Barcade – This new sports bar is the perfect place to both watch and play games. Guests can catch their favorite sports teams from multiple screens positioned so well they’ll never miss a pass; or challenge their friends to a round of billiards, darts or their favorite retro board game.

AquaClass guests can also enjoy complimentary access to the refreshed Relaxation Lounge at the spa.
- Four new stateroom categories – The Panoramic Infinite Veranda Suite, Deluxe Panoramic Oceanview Suite, Panoramic Ocean View Suite and Deluxe Panoramic Ocean View will be available to book starting mid-June.
Bow to stern enhancements also include a design refresh to many more venues: Café Al Bacio, Cellar Masters, World Class Bar, Martini Bar, Pool Bar, Passport Bar, Blu (exclusive to AquaClass guests), Luminae (exclusive to guests of The Retreat), the fitness center and Camp at Sea.
