The Blu staff - Anil, Thia, and Ajoy - pampered us with attentive service, excellent cuisine, fine wines, and good cheer! The buffet staff did the same - thank you, Sim!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone - the food service officer, our Blu wait staff and maitre’d, Freddie our room steward, even the elevator cleaning folks near the buffet - were cheerful, friendly, attentive, and kind. We were pampered at every turn!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Solstice is perfectly suited to an Inside Passage cruise. It is large enough to feel spacious, but not overwhelming - and allows close approach to the glacier and beautiful coastline views. Balcony rooms are ideal for mountain and whale watching.

Ship tip

If a peaceful cruise is your paradise, sail in Aqua Class and visit the exclusive spa areas often. Book Le Petit Chef dining at the Silk Harvest - an entertaining gourmet delight!

A charming town with Creek Street character and Totem Heritage Center history. Use The Bus to get around without charge!
