Celebrity Eclipse debuted in April 2010 as the third Solstice-class ship and has spent most of her career as Celebrity's Southampton-homeported flagship for the British market.
Eclipse runs a summer Northern Europe, Baltic, and Mediterranean programme from Southampton — including an increasingly popular Norwegian Fjords rotation — before repositioning to Fort Lauderdale for a Caribbean winter season.
For UK guests wanting a no-fly Celebrity cruise, Eclipse is the primary option in the fleet. Post-Revolution refit she carries the full modern Retreat, AquaClass, and Blu programme.
