The Celebrity Constellation is a Millennium Class ship, and is in fact one of the flagships in the Celebrity fleet (I didn’t know you can have two flagships but there you go).

The Constellation was built in St. Nazaire, France in 2002.

The ship gets rave reviews for its decor, and the atrium is extremely impressive.

She definitely gets around. In the Summer the Constellation travels around Europe with a focus particularly on the Scandinavian countries. In the Winter it is across the pond and she does the Caribbean route, where these pictures are from, including some cool shots from St. Thomas.

The Celebrity Constellation holds 2034 passengers and weighs 91,000 gross tonnes. She is 965 feet in length.

If you’ve been on the Constellation or any other Celebrity ship, leave us a comment and let us know how you liked it.

The Celebrity Solstice left the Meyer Werft dockyard in Papenburg Germany this week. It travelled down the river Ems backwards, which is what is going on in this shot.

The Solstice is massive: it is 1,033 feet long and 122,000 (!) tonnes. It has a capacity of 2,850 passengers.

When it undocked from Papenburg, there were apparently 100,000 onlookers as it travelled down the river.

One standout of the Solstice is it has a “Lawn Club” which, like the name implies, is a live lawn up on the top deck.  If you’ve ever wanted to have a picnic or play Bocce while on a cruise ship, and really who hasn’t, the Lawn Club is there.

Here’s a video of it leaving Papenburg.
