Our Celebrity Solstice Alaska cruise is officially underway! We begin our 7-night Alaska adventure by boarding the beautiful Celebrity Solstice in Vancouver, British Columbia. From exploring the ship and settling into our inside stateroom to enjoying an incredible sail away and our first evening onboard, Day 1 was the perfect start to our cruise.
If you’re planning a Celebrity Solstice Alaska cruise, this vlog will give you a great idea of what embarkation day is really like, along with our first impressions of the ship.

Boarding the Celebrity Solstice
After spending a couple of nights at the River Rock Casino Resort near Vancouver International Airport, we took the Canada Line SkyTrain to Canada Place. Boarding the Celebrity Solstice was quick and easy, giving us plenty of time to start exploring before our cabin was ready.
Exploring the Ship & Settling In
Once onboard, we explored many of the ship’s beautiful public spaces, including the Solstice Theater, Grand Epernay Restaurant, Oceanview Café, Lido Deck, Solarium, Spa, Fitness Center, and Sunset Park. We also moved into our inside stateroom and started settling in before sail away.
Sail Away & Our First Evening
Sailing away from Vancouver is always one of our favorite parts of cruising. After enjoying beautiful views as we left the city behind, we wrapped up the evening with comedy in the Solstice Theater, dinner in the Grand Epernay Restaurant, and live entertainment in the Grand Foyer. It was a fantastic first day aboard the Celebrity Solstice, and we couldn’t wait to see what the rest of our Alaska cruise had in store.
