    Default Celebrity Solstice

    The record for the longest ship to enter the Newcastle harbour here stood since July 1986 and belonged to a bulk carrier. Early this month that long held fell to this cruise ship... the Celebrity Solstice.
    She's a big dingy... here's her stats:-
    Occupancy: 2850 passengers, 1500 crew
    Tonnage: 122000
    Length: 1041 ft (317m)
    Beam: 121 ft (37m)
    Draught: 27 ft (8m)
    Cruise Speed: 24 kts

    At sunrise she made her way into port




    16 decks


    Then they needed to spin her on a dime

    That is huge. Shot 3 & 4 show its size well, but I think my favourite is # 2.The superstructure almost looks too much for the vessel size

    Wow! That's a huge freakin' ship. 1 Kilometre long supporting 2850 occupants. Nice set, MA. That second shot is my fav with the sun shining through one of the deck windows.

    1041 feet... not metres Iggy. It's almost a 3rd of a kilometre long.

    Thanks guys.

    WOW, now that is a huge ship.
    Really likin' #2 with the sun placement, and the shadow/light play on the rest of the image. Well done MA.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    Ditto. Also like that 3rd one that really shows the size of that ship.
