New Celebrity ship to have bigger cabins

Sunday, 21 Sep, 2007 0

The average size of cabin on Celebrity Cruises’s new ship Solstice will be 15% larger than the rest of the fleet.

Additional storage space is being built in to the cabins as well as more specious bathrooms with glass-fronted showers and fog-free mirrors.

The changes follow feddback from a panel of five women selected by the line for their “distinct points of view”.

Women were chosen as they are the primary cruise planners and are the most discerning passengers when it comes to cabins, according to the company’s marketing senior vice-president Ellen Taaffe.

The 2,850-passenger Solstice is the first in a new class of 122,000-ton vessel being built for the premium cruise company.

It is due to enter service on December 14, 2008, sailing from Fort Lauderdale in Florida on a seven-night eastern Caribbean itinerary until April 5, 2009.

An alternating cruise calling in Puerto Rico, St Maarten, British Virgin Islands and the company’s private beach in Haiti will run from April 12, 2009.
