Sailing direct from the UK with Celebrity Cruises is blissfully easy – avoiding airport queues and possible delays, you’ll sail out of and back into Southampton aboard the much-loved Celebrity Silhouette®, which was inaugurated in 2011 and given a sparkling modern makeover in 2020.
Among its embellishments are the cool Craft Social Bar, gorgeous transformed staterooms, exciting designer boutiques, and new treatment rooms in the sleek spa. There have been chic upgrades to the iconic Lawn Club, and there is more space to relax and socialise in the fresh sea air, including an interactive outdoor grilling experience. And 85% of the ship’s luxurious staterooms have sweeping veranda views.
A city within easy reach of London and so many pother parts of the UK, Southampton is a great departure point in its own right, packed with fascinating history and culture and with great shopping and restaurants. It’s also a jumping-off point for excursions to enigmatic Stonehenge, the small cathedral city of Winchester, once home to Jane Austen, the New Forest, Windsor Castle and more.
