Celebrity Cruises has launched its first-ever Grand Voyage, a 110-night Pacific itinerary aboard the Celebrity Solstice that departed Vancouver's Canada Place terminal on September 13, 2026, and will not conclude until January 2, 2027, in Hong Kong.

The deployment covers 15 countries and 58 ports — a scale of itinerary that places Celebrity in direct competition with the long-cruise products of premium and luxury rivals, where per-guest spend and onboard revenue over a single sailing multiply accordingly.

The 2,850-passenger Solstice, built in 2008, began the voyage in Alaska with calls at Ketchikan, Juneau and Icy Strait Point. It then crossed to Hawaii — Hilo, Kailua Kona and Honolulu — before entering French Polynesia and Fiji.

The South Pacific segment includes a 17-hour stay in Tahiti, plus stops in Moorea, Raiatea and Lautoka.

What comes after the South Pacific?

From the islands, the ship moves to New Zealand and Australia, calling at nearly 20 destinations across the two markets. Southeast Asia follows, with port calls spanning Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Passengers will see in New Year's Eve in Hong Kong before disembarking on January 2, 2027.

The Grand Voyage is not a one-off repositioning. Immediately after arrival, the Solstice starts a winter season in Asia built on a series of 11- to 13-night cruises operating between Hong Kong and Singapore — giving the brand sustained presence in two of Asia's primary fly-cruise gateways through the shoulder and peak season.

What changed in the refit?

Celebrity prepared the ship for the deployment with a major refurbishment. Beyond increased capacity, the yard work refreshed a range of public areas and dining venues.

Two additions anchor the onboard revenue mix:

• Trattoria Rossa — a new specialty restaurant that made its fleetwide debut on the Solstice, serving Roman and Southern Italian cuisine in an upscale setting.
• Boulevard Lounge — a new entertainment venue programmed all day, running from piano bar shows to karaoke nights.

Rolling out Trattoria Rossa on the Grand Voyage first gives Celebrity a full 110-night live test of the concept in front of its highest-engagement guests before any wider fleet expansion — a low-risk way to validate a new chargeable dining brand.

For sellers of travel, the significance is straightforward: a 110-night product creates a distinct commission opportunity in the ultra-long-cruise segment, while the follow-on Asia season of 11- to 13-night sailings opens shorter, higher-volume inventory between Hong Kong and Singapore for the 2027 winter booking window.
