The world’s newest cruise ship that departed the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, on Sunday is set to begin visits to St. Kitts – Nevis in November.
In a milestone event known as “The Conveyance,” the 2,850-guest Celebrity Solstice made its way down the River Eems, as tens of thousands of area residents lining the river banks cheered and photographed the historic event.
“This is a very momentous occasion for Celebrity Cruises,” said the brand’s President and CEO, Dan Hanrahan.
“Celebrity Solstice is the perfect manifestation of what the Celebrity brand is all about: extraordinary service, spectacular dining, and fabulous style and design. And as the first in a series of five Solstice-class ships, it’s a vivid example of the growth and momentum of the Celebrity brand, and our commitment to meet our guests’ and travel agent partners’ demands for more vacation options with Celebrity.”
