Celebrity Cruises Adjusts Ship Maintenance Schedule, Cancels Two Southeast Asia Voyages
2025-02-14

Two scheduled voyages of Celebrity Solstice have been canceled due to an extended drydock period for additional servicing. The cruises, which were planned for January 15 and January 27, 2026, will no longer take place. This decision comes as part of the company's commitment to maintaining high standards of ship maintenance and service quality. The affected itineraries were set to explore Southeast Asian destinations including Thailand and Vietnam. Guests booked on these trips have been offered alternative options including refunds or rebooking on other available sailings.

The need for extra maintenance work has led Celebrity Cruises to adjust the drydock schedule for the Celebrity Solstice. During the winter season of 2025-26, this vessel was slated to operate in Southeast Asia and the Far East. One of the canceled cruises was a 12-night journey starting from Singapore with stops at various ports such as Laem Chabang and Nha Trang. Another cruise was designed to travel from Hong Kong back to Singapore. These adjustments were made to ensure that the ship meets its rigorous maintenance requirements.

In order to provide the best possible experience for their guests, Celebrity Cruises has outlined several alternatives for those impacted by the cancellations. Passengers can choose to receive a full refund covering the cost of the cruise fare along with any prepaid amenities. Alternatively, they may opt to rebook on one of three remaining voyages departing from either Singapore or Hong Kong during early 2026. For individuals selecting this option, original booking prices will be honored if lower than current rates, and onboard credits ranging from $200 to $400 per stateroom will be provided based on cabin type. Moreover, non-refundable deposit fees will be waived for those choosing to rebook another sailing.

To accommodate affected travelers, Celebrity Cruises is providing flexible solutions aimed at minimizing disruption. By offering multiple choices, the company seeks to maintain customer satisfaction while ensuring the Celebrity Solstice undergoes necessary repairs and enhancements. Through these measures, Celebrity Cruises aims to uphold its reputation for excellence in both service and safety standards across all operations.
