In 2026, this cruise line will embark on its longest voyage to date.
Those wishing to see the world by sea now have an exciting new option aboard a recently upgraded ship.
On Tuesday, Celebrity Cruises announced its plans for the longest cruise in its history, set to sail in 2026. This journey will last 110 nights, about three months longer than Celebrity's current longest itinerary (19-night Tahiti voyages). While it won't be a true round-the-world cruise, it will match the duration of a classic world cruise.
Dubbed the Grand Voyage, this adventure will commence in Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 13, 2026, aboard the 2,852-passenger Celebrity Solstice, newly refreshed. The itinerary includes 55 stops across 15 countries — with each port unique — concluding on December 31, 2026, in Hong Kong.
Details of the Celebrity Grand Voyage
CELEBRITY CRUISESDeparting from Vancouver, the Celebrity Solstice will navigate through the stunning fjords and channels of Alaska. Passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of Hubbard Glacier, participate in wildlife excursions, embark on nature adventures, or delve into the local culture at Alaska's southern ports.
After exploring Alaska, the ship will set sail across the Pacific, with stops in Hawaii, French Polynesia, and Fiji. Each port offers pristine coral reefs, protected eco-parks, and lush tropical rainforests for cruisers to explore.
The journey continues with visits to New Zealand, Australia, and Vanuatu, where guests can immerse themselves in the region's rich wildlife, vibrant landscapes, and ancient cultures. A trip to the Ruakuri Caves, a geological marvel steeped in Maori heritage, is a must-see.
Lastly, travelers will discover a blend of ancient temples, bustling cities, and stunning beaches in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Hong Kong.
