If you’re planning a Celebrity Solstice cruise and want to keep up with your fitness routine while you’re at sea, you’ll be happy to know that the ship features a complimentary fitness center located on Deck 12 in the spa area at the front of the ship.
During our Celebrity Solstice Fitness Center Tour, we’ll take a look at the cardio equipment, strength machines, free weights, cable machines, rowing machines, treadmills, Peloton bikes, and the fitness studio. We’ll also show you one of the hidden features of the gym, a forward-facing outdoor viewing platform that’s easy to miss during your cruise.
The Celebrity Solstice fitness center includes a dedicated free weight area with benches, dumbbells, cable machines, and other strength training equipment.
Celebrity Solstice Fitness Center Equipment
One of the things we appreciated about the Celebrity Solstice gym was the variety of equipment that was available. Whether you prefer cardio workouts, strength training, or a combination of both, there are plenty of options to help you stay active during your cruise.
The fitness center includes ellipticals, rowing machines, stair climbers, recumbent bikes, treadmills, upper and lower body machines, cable machines, free weights, medicine balls, and a fitness studio where classes are offered. The gym also provides complimentary water and towels, making it easy to stop in for a quick workout.
Another feature that many guests may overlook is the forward-facing outdoor viewing platform that can only be accessed through the fitness center. It’s a unique spot that offers incredible ocean views and is worth checking out during your cruise.
Whether you’re researching the Celebrity Solstice gym, planning your next cruise, or simply curious about the onboard fitness facilities, we hope this quick tour helps you become more familiar with one of the ship’s most useful complimentary amenities.

Oceanview Cafe Buffet
The Oceanview Cafe is the main buffet aboard the Celebrity Solstice and is located on Deck 14. The buffet uses an island-style layout, which made it easy to move between the different food stations.
For breakfast, we found everything from eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns to pancakes, waffles, French toast, fresh fruit, pastries, cereals and made-to-order omelets. There were also a variety of international breakfast dishes available.
At lunch and dinner, the selection changed considerably, with salads, meats and cheeses, pizza, pasta, Indian dishes, Mexican-inspired options, carving stations, fish, chicken, vegetables and much more. 🍕🥗
And don’t skip dessert! We found cakes, cookies, soft-serve ice cream and even hard-scoop ice cream with several flavours available during our sailing. 🍦
