First Glimpse
The 117,000-ton, 2,850-passenger Celebrity Equinox, the second ship in Celebrity Cruises' innovative Solstice class, will debut in summer 2009. The ship is currently under construction at Germany's Meyer Werft in Papenburg. As a sister ship to Celebrity Solstice (launched November 2008), Equinox will boast all of the same interesting onboard features. These includes The Lawn Club, a dedicated area on the top deck of the ship featuring real, growing grass, where passengers can play croquet or golf; the Hot Glass Show, the first glass blowing studio at sea; large standard staterooms, 85 percent of which will be outfitted with verandahs; Quasar, a mod-futuristic disco that is James Bond meets the Jetsons; and a selection of 10 restaurants onboard, covering all genres including French, steaks and chops, and Asian-fusion. While Celebrity Solstice's November 2008 launch was a Stateside affair, Celebrity Equinox will start its career across the pond. The new ship will sail its maiden voyage from Southampton on August 8, 2009, a 10-night "Best of Europe" itinerary calling in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Gibraltar en route to Rome. The ship will then sail a series of 13- and 14-night "Ancient Empires" cruises from Rome featuring two new ports of call: Haifa and Ashdod, Israel. These voyages also include an overnight stay in Egypt's Alexandria. After a trans-Atlantic voyage to Ft. Lauderdale, Celebrity Equinox will sail alternating 11- and 10-night "Ultimate Caribbean" voyages. Ports of call include Grand Cayman, Cartagena, Colon, St. Kitts, Barbados and St. Maarten.
