The gentle motion of the ship, the pleasure of being served, the relief from having to cook, the freedom from unwanted intrusions, the fun of visiting a variety of ports, and the opportunity to be alone together on Celebrity Solstice combine to provide a highly romantic trip for couples in love.

At sea, these are a few of the ways couples can savor their time away from home on Celebrity Solstice:

  • Attend a wine tasting
  • Have a couples massage in the spa, which includes tips on recreating the experience at home
  • Soak in one of the hot tubs
  • Reserve an intimate, gourmet dinner for two in Murano
  • Pose for professional portraits
  • Ask the concierge to arrange a custom tour excursion
  • Treat yourselves to a Solstice diamond

Solstice Diamonds
To commemorate the launch of Celebrity Cruises' new class of Solstice ships, the line commissioned a new diamond cut, the Solstice. Each round brilliant stone features 86 facets rather than the standard 57. The additional cuts help to create a five-pointed star at the center of the stone, visible through a loupe. Conflictfree Solstice diamonds are mined in Canada and sold on the ship in Boutique C.

Celebrating an Anniversary
A favorite with couples of different generations, Celebrity Solstice can make an anniversary trip an affair to remember. Ask your waiter or captain for an anniversary cake, and you can enjoy it as dessert at no extra charge. Also, on some sea days the ship may host special party or games for couples celebrating an important occasion. Plan to attend; they're always fun.
