With the 21 June marking the Summer Solstice – the longest day and shortest night of the year – many of us are looking for the perfect way to soak up every single drop of daylight.

For travellers who want to truly maximise the daylight hours, there’s no better vantage point than the middle of the ocean. Celebrity Cruises offers sailings into the Arctic Circle – where 24-hour daylight pairs with midnight sundowners and alfresco dining.

From mid-May to late July, the sun never sets, meaning you’ll get to experience the midnight sun whilst looking out at jagged, tooth-like mountains, their peaks dusted in snow even in summer, with hundreds of rocky islets and skerries, remnants of the last Ice Age, scattered across the sea. To ensure you don’t miss a single moment of this spectacular landscape, our Edge Series ships are built with a unique outward-facing design, allowing you to perfectly admire the breathtaking views outside as you sail.

Celebrity Apex is the second ship in Celebrity Cruises' revolutionary Edge Series, complete with a variety of unique onboard experiences. With the signature ‘Magic Carpet’ , guests can enjoy unobstructed views of the skyline, allowing for a beautiful panorama of the sun staying above the horizon all night. The outward-facing design continues across spaces like Eden and The Stateroom cabins, allowing guests to enjoy jaw-dropping views from the comfort of the ship.

This magical view of the midnight sun is a bucket-list experience, and Celebrity Cruises provides the entire package – the world’s most magnificent scenery and immersion into the rich history of Scandinavia, together with world-class dining and entertainment options. There really is no better way to spend a day of continuous sun than on a Celebrity Cruises ship.
