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.
