Celebrity Eclipse Review - Countdown to Launch
Celebrity Eclipse, the third in Celebrity Cruises' innovative Solstice class, is under construction at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
Celebrity Eclipse is scheduled to debut in April 2010.
Like its siblings Celebrity Solstice, which debuted in November 2008, and Celebrity Equinox (summer 2009), Celebrity Eclipse will feature larger standard cabins, 90 percent of which will be outsides; 85 percent of all staterooms will be outfitted with verandahs.
Other Solstice-class standards that will be found onboard Eclipse include The Lawn Club, a dedicated area on the top deck of the ship featuring real, growing grass, where guests can play croquet or golf, or even have a picnic; the Hot Glass Show, the first glass blowing studio at sea; 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.
The new-build will bring Celebrity's fleet total to 10.
