The Celebrity Silhouette (IMO 9451094) was built at Meyer Werft; her maiden voyage took place on July 23, 2011. The current fact sheet from Celebrity Cruises lists a capacity of 2,902 guests, 122,210 GT, a length of 319.1 meters, a beam of 36.9 meters, and a cruising speed of 24 knots. In 2017, the ship was listed as having 1,285 crew members and 13 passenger decks.

The ship belongs to the Solstice class and was the fourth of five ships built for the class. Meyer Werft highlights the Lawn Club as a distinctive feature: real grass covers the open upper deck, providing guests with an outdoor space. The shipyard also describes an atrium spanning twelve decks, with glass-enclosed panoramic elevators.

The Celebrity Silhouette was undocked at MEYER WERFT in Papenburg on May 29, 2011. On July 18, the shipyard handed the ship over to Celebrity Cruises in Eemshaven. On July 21, Michelle Morgan christened her in the Port of Hamburg.

The Ship and Onboard Offerings

The current deck plan lists, among other venues, the Main Restaurant, Oceanview Café, Mast Grill, and The Spa Café, as well as specialty restaurants such as Tuscan Grille, Murano, Le Petit Chef, The Lawn Club Grill, The Porch, and Sushi on Five. Blu is reserved for AquaClass guests; Luminae is for guests staying in The Retreat. Celebrity also lists bars such as Ensemble Lounge, Martini Bar & Crush, World Class Bar, and Craft Social Bar. In 2017, onboard amenities included a pool deck and the Solarium, with a pool and hot tub.

The shipyard lists 1,426 staterooms, fewer than ten percent of which are inside cabins. This means a large proportion have natural light through exterior windows or balcony doors. Celebrity gives AquaClass guests additional spa amenities and access to Blu, while The Retreat comes with its own lounge, sundeck, and the Luminae restaurant. Some areas and restaurants are therefore reserved for specific stateroom or travel categories.

Published October 2027 Itinerary

Celebrity published a revised four-night itinerary for the Celebrity Silhouette from October 26 to 30, 2027, departing from Fort Lauderdale. The itinerary called for a stop in Key West on October 27 from 08:00 to 17:00, a sea day on October 28, and a visit to Perfect Day at CocoCay on October 29 from 07:00 to 17:00; the return to Fort Lauderdale was scheduled for 07:00 on October 30. This specific example combines two port calls with a full day at sea.
