I recently returned from a wonderful cruise on the Celebrity Solstice. It was my first cruise with Celebrity Cruises however it will not be my last! From the moment we stepped onboard we had wonderful service. The ship is beautiful and has many varied spaces to meet everyone's needs. Quiet places, busy places, activities all around including kids clubs. This ship has just had a refurbishment which has enhanced many spaces including the addition of the Boulevard bar and lounge and the Parlor. Great spaces to connect with other guests, have a special drink or play board games. This space was always busy! Have a look at some pictures!

You can enjoy this ship as well! Just connect with me at [email protected] to get your vacation started!!

Looking for a standout itinerary? Here it is:
Holland America Cruise of the Month: 14-Day Denali & Yukon Y2C Journey
https://www.hollandamerica.com/en/us/find-a-cruise/a7n07by2c/i758

🛳 Nieuw Amsterdam
📍 Roundtrip Vancouver
📅 August 8 – 22, 2027

Why This Cruise Stands Out:

This is more than just an Alaska cruise, it’s a fully immersive land + sea journey through Alaska, BC and the Yukon, delivering incredible value and unforgettable experiences:

• Denali National Park – Spend time in one of Alaska’s most iconic природ landscapes
• Overnight in Anchorage & Denali – More time to explore, relax, and take it all in
• Yukon Adventure – Discover Dawson City and relive the Klondike Gold Rush
• Classic Alaska Ports: like Ketchikan – rich Native heritage and Juneau – gold rush history
• Seamless experience with guided tours, transportation, and hand-selected accommodations
• PLUS, 2027 HIA EBB will include the meals on the land portion!
This isn’t just another sailing will spark emotion, storytelling, and real excitement.
