Celebrity Equinox was built in the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg (Germany) and was put into service as a ship of the Solstice class of Celebrity Cruises in 2009 and was completely renovated in 2019. It offers space for 2.850 passengers and you can look forward to a 5-star-cuisine, excellent service and a good price-performance ratio. The enlarged and redesigned interiors make for a comfortable cruise experience.
The Celebrity Cruises fleet, marked by an X on the chimney, combines the best sides of elegant cruises with a modern lifestyle. The worldwide routes and the international atmosphere are especially interesting for experienced cruise guests. Although it is casual and relaxed during the day, the dress code Smart Casual is expected at the so-called "Chic Evenings". Most of the ships of the ships are designed very classy. The Solstice class, on the other hand, convinces the trend-conscious public with its innovative design. The ships of the new, modern Edge class will expand the fleet in the future.
All staterooms are spacious and very comfortably furnished. The interior staterooms are between approx. 16 and 18 sqm, oceanview staterooms are approx. 16 sqm and the balcony staterooms are approx. 18 sqm in size. Suites have approx. 28 to 120 sqm of living space, depending on the category. The upscale concierge class staterooms and suites enjoy outstanding butler service. But the service in the other staterooms also corresponds to a 5-star standard. For example, you can order food and drinks to your stateroom 24/7 at no extra charge.
Guests of all ages feel comfortable on this elegant, international ship. The age group of 45 to 75 year olds is the most represented. Depending on the area of travel, the composition of the guests is very different. Although it is very casual and relaxed during the day, formal clothing is expected on some evenings.

But you can also enjoy a special culinary experience in the specialty restaurants. Do you like to keep things casual?
