Frequently Asked Questions
The Eclipse measures 121,878 gross tons, 317 m by 37 m, with 14 guest-accessible decks numbered 2 to 16 and no deck 13. She carried 1,426 cabins at delivery and roughly 1,436 since the 2025 drydock. Meyer Werft built her at Papenburg and she made her maiden voyage on 26 April 2010. She is the third ship of the Solstice class, identical to the original Solstice and the Equinox.
During her three-week drydock at Damen in Brest, France, Celebrity converted four public spaces into inside cabins. The internet café, the tech shop, the card room and the arcade were replaced by ten cabins spread across decks 6, 9, 12 and 15. The published double occupancy is still 2,852, a figure that predates the conversion. The 3,148 maximum capacity has not been updated either.
She is the only Solstice-class ship that never received the Celebrity Revolution programme. Her modernisation, budgeted at 70 million US dollars, was set for April 2020, slipped to 2021 and then disappeared. All four sisters went through it between 2019 and 2023. Her main dining room, Moonlight Sonata, spans two decks, and both her deck 5 Retreat Lounge and her deck 16 private solarium date only from spring 2025.
She spends the summer out of Amsterdam covering the Baltic, the British Isles, Scandinavia and Iceland. On 26 August 2026 she leaves Amsterdam on twelve nights to Barcelona, then runs Adriatic and Greek Isles itineraries between Barcelona, Athens and Venice until 30 October. On 10 November 2026 she crosses the Atlantic in fourteen nights from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale. She then winters there with Caribbean sailings of five to twelve nights.
She stays in Fort Lauderdale until spring, then crosses back to Amsterdam on 23 April 2027 for the Northern Europe season. In practice, half her year is bought with a Montreal to Fort Lauderdale nonstop of a little over three hours, available year-round. The other half needs a European flight: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Athens and Venice all have nonstops from Montreal in the warm season, but frequencies drop sharply outside it. For the transatlantic crossings, plan a one-way ticket in one direction, which often costs more than a return.
The ten inside cabins created in 2025 are the newest on board, but they sit in former public spaces and some are on deck 15 below the pool deck, so noisy in the morning. Deluxe Ocean View verandas on decks 8 and 9 amidships remain the best general choice. AquaClass cabins open the Blu restaurant; Concierge Class mainly adds a heightened level of service. Retreat suites now include the deck 5 Retreat Lounge and the deck 16 private solarium, both new since 2025.
Moonlight Sonata is the main dining room, spread over two decks. Extra-charge venues: Murano, Tuscan Grille, Le Petit Chef at Qsine, Sushi on Five and the Chef's Table. Blu belongs to AquaClass cabins and Luminae to Retreat suites. Bars include Martini Bar & Crush, Cellar Masters, the Gastro Bar, Craft Social, the aft Sunset Bar, the Passport Bar, Slush and the Sky Observation Lounge forward on deck 14.
The ship is sixteen years old and has never had a deep renovation: recent reviews mention tired furniture, worn soft goods and cabin noise. She has neither The Porch nor the Lawn Club Grill, the two outdoor restaurants that make the Silhouette and the Reflection so pleasant. No drydock date has been announced for her under the Solstice Series programme even though the press releases cover all five ships, so any site publishing one is inventing it. Her Retreat solarium also stays more modest than the Edge-class equivalent.
The Simply Sail fare covers the cabin, meals at Moonlight Sonata, the Oceanview Café, the Mast Grill and the Spa Café, the shows, the pools and the gym. The All Included fare adds the Classic drinks package and Basic Wi-Fi. Murano, Tuscan Grille, Le Petit Chef and Sushi on Five stay extra, as do shore excursions and the spa. On the fourteen-night crossing from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale, with seven consecutive sea days, the gap between the two fares is easy to justify.
Daily service charges are billed automatically to your onboard account and vary by cabin category. The All Included fare covers gratuities on drinks only. On a twelve-night European sailing or a fourteen-night crossing the total becomes significant, so prepay at booking. Your cabin attendant and the Moonlight Sonata team depend on it directly.
On Adriatic and Greek Isles itineraries, with a port almost every day, many guests lose on the deal. On the November and April crossings, with seven sea days, the Classic package becomes very profitable at the Sunset Bar, Cellar Masters and the Gastro Bar. The Premium package only makes sense for elaborate cocktails and cellar wines. Count your sea days before deciding, never the number of nights.
Basic Wi-Fi, included with the All Included fare, handles email, browsing and text messaging; the Premium tier, needed for streaming, costs extra. Coverage is solid in the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. In the middle of the North Atlantic, during the November and April crossings, expect noticeable slowdowns. Iceland and Greenland, if your itinerary includes them, remain the most temperamental stretches.
Camp at Sea takes ages 3 to 12 in three groups and the Eclipse kept its teen space. One caveat: the 2025 drydock removed the video arcade, converted into cabins, taking away another free activity for young guests. The European summer out of Amsterdam draws many British families; the November and April crossings draw almost none. There is no nursery on board, children must be 3 and toilet trained, and infants must be at least 6 months old on day one.
Points depend on cabin category and number of nights: a fourteen-night crossing in a Sky Suite earns far more than a five-night Caribbean run in an inside cabin. Tiers run from Preview to Zenith, joined on 11 June 2026 by Double Zenith at 6,000 points and Triple Zenith at 9,000. The specialty dining discount applies at Murano and Tuscan Grille, the two busiest paying tables on board. Status is reciprocal with Royal Caribbean.
The Baltic and the Adriatic are usually calm. The November and April transatlantic crossings cross North Atlantic depressions and can move for days at a time. The Bay of Biscay, on the late-August route between Amsterdam and Barcelona, is another notoriously lively stretch. Choose a cabin on decks 7 to 9 amidships, avoid deck 12 forward, and remember that a 2010 stabiliser system does its job without performing miracles.
