Karl WP Beyer Celebrity Cruises ships impress discerning travelers. In November 2008, the Miami-based company launched the Celebrity Solstice. It was the first ship and namesake of the Solstice class, which now comprises five premium ships. All five ships were built by the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
The Solstice class also includes the Celebrity Silhouette, which entered service in July 2011 and was christened in Hamburg. According to the shipping company, approximately 85 percent of the ship's cabins have a balcony.
All Solstice-class ships measure approximately 122.000 gross registered tons (GRT) and can accommodate around 2.850 passengers at double occupancy. The Solstice-class ships are each 317 meters long and 37 meters wide.

The Lawn Club, located on the 15th deck, is an unusual feature: a real lawn covering 2.000 square meters. It offers a country club atmosphere and is a place for well-maintained outdoor activities. Professionals constantly take care of its upkeep to ensure it stays that way.
