Celebrity cruises has decided to add an additional ship to the existing order with Meyer Werft Shipyards. This fifth ship in the Solstice Class will be delivered in fall 2012.<br /><br />The first ship in the class, Celebrity Solstice, will debut later this year and will be followed by Equinox in 2009 and Eclipse in 2010. The fourth ship in the original order is currently unnamed and will debut in 2011.<br /><br />Some reports indicate that Celebrity may begin phasing out some of their smaller, older ships as the Solstice ships come on line.  Most likely that would include the current ships Century, Mercury, and Galaxy.<br /><br />I may have to book a cruise on one of these ships when they come out.  They look very nice and I'm sure they will be innovative and well designed.  Can't wait.
