Dawes Glacier - Standing over 600 feet tall and half a mile wide, Dawes Glacier is a sight to behold. This stunning river of ice is made up of two glaciers that are united by a medial moraine (the ridge where both glaciers meet) in the center. Dawes Glacier is a popular attraction due to its consistent calving displays, where large chunks of ice detach from the glacier's wall and fall into the water below, creating an enthralling sound known as white thunder.
Celebrity Solstice is more than a ship. It’s a destination in itself, one that changed the game with new experiences that had never been seen at sea before. That includes The Lawn Club, where you can kick back on the grass, take in a live concert, get lost in a good book, or just soak up the ocean views. Our ice-topped Martini Bar is the center of the action on Celebrity Solstice, and it has become such a hit that it’s now a fleet-wide institution. The restaurants set a new standard for dining at sea, featuring our first-ever Tuscan Grille and our elegant, intimate Murano. Slow things down at The Spa or kick up your endorphins at the Fitness Center. And let us entertain you morning, noon, and night, from our incredible theater productions to live pop-up performances around the ship to non-stop thrills at the casino. Plus, you can share your vacation memories as they happen with Starlink high-speed internet.
Ready to restore like never before? Celebrity Solstice has the perfect accommodations for you. This ship introduced more verandas than we had ever had at the time, so you can enjoy your own private views whenever you want them. Experience the thoughtful details of Concierge Class or the spa-inspired extras of AquaClass®, featuring access to our Blu restaurant and The Spa’s Persian Garden. And then, there’s The Retreat®, where the suite life is elevated with personal butler service, private dining, and an exclusive lounge. Make yourself at home—oceans away from home—on Celebrity Solstice.
Take a tour of the ship through thisvideo and you can also view the deck plan to see where everything is on board.
Cruise Itinerary
Day 1 - Sunday, August 2, 2026
Vancouver, British Columbia | Departs: 4:00 PM
Among the world's most liveable cities - diverse, culturally rich, and beautiful - this culinary capital offers fresh, local seafood, farm-to-table produce, and authentic Asian flavors. West Coast architecture - modernism with a woodsy bent - emerged here. However, while downtown shines with steel and glass, its epicenter is the 1,000-acre oasis of Stanley Park, a lush green space featuring spectacular beaches, trails, and breathtaking views. North of town, ride scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway along the coast and through the forest toward Whistler, 2,200 feet above sea level. On your way, behold lofty Shannon Falls and brave the heart-pounding Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge.
Your ship departs promptly at 4:00 p.m., so we recommend arriving at least 2-3 hours before departure to ensure a smooth check-in and boarding process. All ship amenities are open and ready, so kickstart your vacation with a refreshing drink or a delicious snack.
Day 2 - Monday, August 3, 2026
Inside Passage Cruising | Sightseeing
Inside Passage, Alaska: You'll sail beyond the Inside Passage into the more protected Alaska Inside Passage in southeastern Alaska. This complex labyrinth of fjords, bays, and lush green islands is home to an abundance of wildlife, including orca, mountain goats, bald eagles, bears, puffins, sea otters, and much more. During the summer months, the long hours of daylight allow for ample opportunities for nature photos on your Inside Passage Cruise. You'll never forget the sight of 40-ton whales hurling themselves into the air, almost completely escaping the water. If you're fortunate, you could see them swimming together to create a bubble net, trapping and eating fish by the giant mouthful.
For thousands of years, the Tlingit Indians have called this place home. Located near the city of Hoonah and home to a historic cannery, Icy Strait Point also offers travelers the chance to view wildlife, including humpback whales, orcas, seals, eagles, and brown bears, or to explore monuments to the region's fishing heritage.
Optional ($) Excursions **Options Subject To Change Without Notice
Skagway, Alaska: The great Klondike Gold Rush lives on in Skagway's charming downtown of restored 19th-century buildings and its historic railway. Located on the edge of the wilderness, this small town saw its fair share of gold rush, get-rich-quick dreamers pass through. Today, its residents are more than welcome to share the stories of its untamed past. And there’s so much fascinating history to uncover on a Skagway cruise. Head to Klondike Gold Rush National Park Museum for an in-depth look at Klondike and the two routes out of Skagway – Chilkoot Pass and White Pass. From the vintage train, admire the mountains and see the 1898 trail that fortune seekers traveled on foot. The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad operates vintage locomotives along the famously steep Chilkoot Trail, offering sweeping mountain views during its ascent toward Canada.
Optional ($) Excursions **Options Subject To Change Without Notice
Alaska’s Endicott Arm Fjord marks the southern edge of the 653,179-acre Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness area. As you sail through its 30-mile-long stretch, you can’t help but be amazed by the untouched beauty of the surrounding granite mountains, verdant valleys, and numerous waterfalls. Drifting icebergs, deep blue waters, and a spectacular tidewater glacier only add to this natural spectacle’s appeal. Endicott Arm is one of the most extensive breeding grounds for harbor seals on the planet. Keep your eyes open for these creatures splashing in icy waters near the ship or floating with their pups on giant chunks of ice. Along the shore, you might also glimpse brown bears, bald eagles, sea ducks, deer, moose, and wolves. Your journey through scenic Endicott Arm Fjord ends with a front-row view of the striking Dawes Glacier. Standing over 600 feet tall and half a mile wide, this very active ice cap is known for its spectacular calving displays, which produce massive, chunky icebergs that float in the surrounding waters. Remember to dress in wind-resistant layers for viewing scenery outside on deck.

You've never tasted salmon so fresh. Known as the 'Salmon Capital of the World', Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit people, who have carved the world's largest collection of totem poles. If you're up for an adventure, take a canoe and nature trail excursion through the rain forest or a wilderness exploration followed by a sumptuous crab feast you'll long remember.
