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 />
