The 315 meter ‘Celebrity Solstice’ squeezed through the watergates with the help of two tugboats heading to Denmark.

The ‘Celebrity Solstice’ is one of the five Solstice ships that will be launched between now and 2012. The ‘Celebrity Solstice’ can carry almost 3,000 passengers. She even has an authentic grass lawn on its top deck.

This means that there are tremendous job opportunities on these cruise ships. In the coming five years they will need +10,000 people to operate these giants!

The ‘Celebrity Solstice’ will makes her debut as a US cruise ship in November this year.

Let us know if you are planning to work on the ‘Celebrity Solstice’ …
