Overview
Introduced in 2011 and last updated in 2015, the 2,886-passenger Celebrity Silhouette is one of the largest ships in the fleet and features a nearly 1-to-3 crew-to-guest ratio. It is set to receive a full renovation in January 2020.
Silhouette offers plenty of onboard activities, varying from enrichment seminars to comedy shows. While kids can play on Xbox consoles or at the sports courts, adults can sip libations at bars like Cellar Master wine bar and the Slush frozen cocktail bar.
The ship also features the expansive rooftop Lawn Club, which includes multiple dining venues, an art studio and the Alcoves – an exclusive retreat with private cabanas (for an additional fee). As far as dining goes, the ship is home to 11 restaurants and cafes, the majority of which are specialty venues that require reservations and extra fees. Cuisine ranges from casual bites at the pool grill to sushi and Italian fare.
Along with a variety of food options, Celebrity Silhouette offers a range of stateroom selections, with 85 percent of its cabins offering verandas. Cruisers can choose from Inside, Ocean View and Veranda rooms, while those who opt for one of seven Suite categories receive more space and perks like butler service and priority check-in.
In 2019-20, Celebrity Silhouette sails to destinations in the Caribbean and Europe.
