The "Celebrity Solstice", the largest cruise ship ever built in Germany, was launched from the slipway of the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg just a few weeks ago. However, it is not the luxury cruiser's gigantic dimensions that are setting new standards but rather the attention-grabbing leisure feature in the form of a natural and playable golfing lawn covering an area of 1,500 m² on the uppermost deck ("The Lawn Club") 36 metres above sea level.
According to the ship's owner, the green roof - or rather "green deck" - is the first of this kind and dimension ever installed on a ship. Celebrity Cruises is marketing the green idea as an attraction for anyone who wants to feel real grass underfoot when out at sea - golf, boccia, croquet, and picnics on real grass will offer even more variety on board between Florida and the Bahamas.
