Celebrity Solstice Heats Up With Glass Show

The trend of dreaming up innovative firsts for new-builds continues with Celebrity's announcement that its upcoming Solstice will introduce a fresh art program onboard: glassblowing.

The cruise line has teamed up with the world-renowned Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, to introduce cruisers to its traveling exhibit, the "Hot Glass Show." Since 2001, the show has traveled to museums, art fairs and public festivals around the world, but this will be its first foray at sea.

What exactly is the Hot Glass Show? On Celebrity Solstice, three resident "gaffers" -- glassblowing artists -- will conduct live glassmaking demonstrations, lectures and workshops in a custom-designed outdoor studio, located on the ship's upper deck. The gaffers will create items such as vases and bowls as a narrator explains each step in the process and answers guests' questions.

The show will be free and offered several times per voyage, on all itineraries.
