Celebrity Eclipse is a Solstice-class cruise ship, operated by Celebrity Cruises. She is the sister ship of Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Silhouette. Celebrity Eclipse measures 122,000 GT and carries 2,852 passengers (double occupancy) plus crew.
The ship's godmother is Emma Pontin.
The keel of the Celebrity Eclipse was laid on 14 February 2007 and she was floated out of her drydock on 28 February 2010.
Celebrity Eclipse is the third Solstice-class ship, preceded by Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Equinox. Solstice-class ships are designed to save energy, equipped with photovoltaic system, an optimized hull design, highly efficient hull coatings and lighting system using light emitting diodes, and are said to use only 70% of the energy consumed by other ships of their kind.
The ship was scheduled to undergo a dry dock in April 2020.
The facilities on Celebrity Eclipse include swimming pools, a casino, a theatre, shops, a library and an art gallery.
In response to the 2010 shutdown of UK airspace due to the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano, the newly completed Eclipse returned 2,000 British tourists stranded in Spain as "an act of goodwill" by the owners, sailing from Southampton to Bilbao on April 21 and returning on April 23.
