Celebrity Silhouette overview
Since its inaugural voyage in July 2011, Celebrity Silhouette has been upholding the cruise line’s standards for elegance and style at sea. Featuring Celebrity’s iconic Lawn Club, which boasts real grass, as well as an ocean-inspired Solarium, Silhouette exemplifies luxury and indulgence. And when it comes to entertainment, Silhouette has that, too. The grand Silhouette Theater hosts epic performances, including full-scale stage shows, musicals, and comedy, so passengers can enjoy live entertainment nightly.
In January 2020, Celebrity Silhouette is scheduled for a bow-to-stern refurbishment through Celebrity’s multimillion-dollar Revolution program. Anticipated upgrades to this Solstice-class ship include completely redesigned staterooms, upgraded dining venues, new boutiques, and enhanced spa experience. A whopping 85% of Silhouette’s staterooms include balconies. This means that the majority of the ship’s passengers can enjoy private outdoor sitting areas with breathtaking ocean views.

Before you book
This ship is best for: Celebrity Silhouette is all about luxury. Travelers looking for a vacation that revolves around pampering, unique dining experiences, and first-rate entertainment should appreciate Silhouette’s amenities. These include a full-service spa, 6 whirlpools, and over 10 specialty restaurants. Plus, with its lack of amusement-park-style activities, the ship provides a more laid-back environment that’s conducive to relaxation.
You should know: While Silhouette does offer structured children’s programs and kid-friendly spaces, most shipboard amenities were designed with adults in mind. Families with kids who want nonstop action and the high-octane excitement of amusement-park-style rides may prefer a mega-ship with more active choices.
