Outdoor Exposure Although the interior of Solstice Class ships are enthralling to the max, they also offer a unique open-air adventure. After an energizing jog around the running track, the main pool is great for daytime tanning to late night dips in neon-lit water. Coordinate a team for a game of bocce at Celebrity’s Lawn Club or take a seat at the Mast Bar for breathtaking views. Glass may divide you and the water, but only at arm’s length. Two years ago, the Corning Museum of Glass collaborated with Celebrity Cruises to establish a permanent hotshop on the top deck, where gaffers showcase ornate vases and bowls in a live, narrated glassblowing demonstration. Available on Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Eclipse®, The Hot Glass Show is a unique, educational way to view the production of a commonplace art form in a comfortable setting. Embarking on Adventure The Solstice Class is making its debut in Pacific waters with cruises exclusive to the north and travel junkies flock to the ship for a taste of Alaska. The Last Frontier is on the agenda as you depart from Seattle, Washington on the Celebrity Solstice ship to locales like Tracy Arm Fjord, stretched over 48 kilometres and home to bears, harbor seals and mountain goats. When in Skagway, choose the White Pass Summit Excursion to see the Yukon Route Railroad, a Klondike Gold Rush trail established in 1898. Back in Canada, escapade through the lush summer greenery of Victoria, British Columbia and learn how this city has embraced its British colonial influence. After a full day at sea, with fine fare and superb sights, you’re ready to call it a day. Back at the stateroom; settle in for a well-deserved sleep with a soothing tea. Before slipping into crisp linen, you slide open the door to see total darkness, hearing nothing but the waves. As the gentle tide glides against the boat, rocking you to sleep, you reflect on the mark you have made on the day’s events, places you have seen and people you have met. Feeling like a perfect 10, it looks like Celebrity Cruises has made its mark on you. www.celebritycruises.com
