CELEBRITY CRUISES<br />
Celebrity Solstice class<br />
new generation<br />
A new generation of ships – with the new Solstice class Post Panmax ships for<br />
Celebrity Cruises, MEYER WERFT passed the 100,000 gt boundary.<br />
The five new ships which were completed between 2008 and 2012 fulfil, for<br />
the first time, the new, stricter stability regulations of the IMO (International<br />
Maritime Organisation) which have been in force since 2009.<br />
This class of ship has 1,286 outside cabins, at the time of its construction it was<br />
more than any other cruise ship in the world. This ship class is also pioneering in<br />
the energy-saving department. Thanks to the installation of high-tech, efficient<br />
systems, the overall energy saving amounts to 30% in comparison to other ships.<br />
Before a shipbuilding contract can be signed, up to 200 designs are developed<br />
in order to find the optimum design. The Solstice class features real grass as part<br />
of a club installation called “The Lawn Club” with an area over two thousand<br />
square metres.<br />
