Kahului, Maui

Hilo, Hawaii, HI

Kona, Hawaii, HI

Nawiliwili, Kauai, HI

The second largest of the islands, Maui boasts 32 miles

of beaches that are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, sea

kayaking and sunning. Most ships call on Kahului, but

the island of Lanai. The main attraction here is the

Haleakala Crater, the world's largest dormant volcano.

as are snorkeling and tours of Iao Valley State Park.

Hilo is located on the lush, windward side of the Big

Island, and it is the starting point for excursions to

Kilauea Volcano. Drive around the 11-mile rim of

the crater or tour the dramatic lava formations of

Volcanoes National Park. View breathtaking Akaka

Falls, where the water drops more than 400 feet into

a pool below, or visit the Hawaii Tropical Botanical

Gardens. Or, check out the views from the summit of

13,796-foot Mount Mauna Kea, the highest peak in

Hawaii.

The sun shines year-round on the Kona coast of the

Big Island. Take a helicopter ride for views of the

jagged Kohala Mountains, ride in a semi-submersible

over spectacular coral reefs, or join a snorkeling

excursion to Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine life

refuge. Don't forget to sample a cup of delicious Kona

coffee, the local brew of choice. This part of the Big

Island also is famous for its macadamia nut orchards.

Quiet and uncrowded, the lush, green island of

Kauai is known as the "Garden Isle." It is home to

spectacular cliffs and canyons. The most popular

shore excursions visit Waimea Canyon (called

"The Grand Canyon of the Pacific"), the Fern

Grotto, the Hanalei Coast and the Na Pali cliffs.

Visitors also enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, sailing

and swimming.

personal amenities passengers have come to

expect from Celebrity. Each of the ships in the

Solstice class feature wireless Internet

throughout, larger staterooms with flat screen

televisions, spacious bathrooms, more storage

space and plush European bedding. Balconies

exceptional range of guest-inspired services and

amenities made possible due to the ships’ larger

size. Celebrity Solstice is one of our more

decorated ships at sea. So it's no wonder that it's

full of "firsts." Like the first Lawn Club at sea

and The first Hot Glass Show℠. Some other

things that set her apart are the dining venues

distinctive in cuisine, design and service. Our

passion for outstanding cuisine has taken the

restaurants, the food and the overall dining

experience to a whole new level in the cruising

world. Step aboard and discover why Celebrity

Lahaina, Maui

Papeete, Tahiti, Society Islands

Bora Bora, Society Islands

Moorea, Society Islands

The second largest of the islands, Maui boasts 32 miles

of beaches that are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, sea

the island of Lanai. The main attraction here is the

Haleakala Crater, the world's largest dormant volcano.

Helicopter and bicycle tours to the crater are popular,

as are snorkeling and tours of Iao Valley State Park.

Papeete is the capital of Tahiti and houses all the

government offices as well as several historical

landmarks. Wander the cafes, shops, narrow streets and

busy waterfront of this Polynesian paradise, which

lured artist Paul Gauguin and writer Robert Louis

Stevenson to its sandy shores. Art lovers will want to

visit the Gauguin Museum. You also can explore

botanical gardens or enjoy the beaches lapped by blue-

green waters.

Volcanic peaks dominate this small, unspoiled island

surrounded by miles of aqua lagoons. Most tourists

wander the shops, sun on snow-white beaches or swim

in the crystalline waters. The best way to see Bora

Bora is by renting a jeep, moped or bicycle and

traveling the single road that circles the island. Other

options include spending the day at the Bora Bora

Lagoon Resort or the Hotel Bora Bora, where

snorkeling is offered.

Dozens of mountain spires pierce the sky above this

incredible tropical island, located just 11 miles from

Tahiti. A scenic drive around the island passes through

pineapple fields and coconut palms to a lookout that

reveals magnificent views of Cook's Bay and Papetoai

Bay. The island is a popular diving destination because of

the frequent shark sightings during dives. Other options

include a visit to a brandy distillery or a cruise around the

spectacular bay aboard a yacht.

Auckland, New Zealand

Bay of Islands, New Zealand

Sydney, Australia

New Zealand’s largest city -- and the world’s largest

Polynesian city -- sprawls across an isthmus positioned

between two harbors. The “City of Sails” boasts more boats

per capita than any other city. Queen Street is the major

shopping area, while Victoria Park Market offers food and

crafts in a re-created European-style village, and the Parnell

area has art galleries and antique shops in restored Victorian

buildings. Some excursions introduce cruise passengers to

Maori culture, while others head to sheep and cattle farms

for a glimpse of New Zealand’s rural life. Kelly Tarlton’s

Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World offers a look at

the marine and birdlife of Antarctica.

Named the Bay of Islands by the explorer James Cook

in the late 18th century, this string of 144 islands and

cloistered bays is perfect for those with an interest in

the maritime. Bay of Islands offers the perfect

combination of exotic and rare marine life with

exclusive glimpses into the indigenous Maori culture.

Yachting, fishing, swimming with dolphins, scuba

diving, kayaking, biking, and golf are just a few of the

many things to do here. (also called Bay of Isles)

Sydney is Australia's showcase city, and its grand

harbor never fails to impress arriving cruise ship

passengers. Its most famous attractions are the

landmark Opera House and Harbor Bridge. Bondi

Beach is a surfer's heaven, and Watson's Bay offers

terrific views of Sydney's skyline. View kangaroos,

emus and, of course, koalas at Koala Park, or take a

stroll through The Rocks, Sydney's oldest

neighbourhood.
