In brief
Celebrity Equinox is a Solstice-class cruise ship built by Meyer Werft in Germany. Celebrity Equinox is the second of the five Solstice-class vessels, owned and operated by Celebrity Cruises. She is a sister ship of Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Silhouette, and the Celebrity Reflection. Construction officially started in September 2007. Celebrity Equinox left the shipyard in June 2009 and entered commercial service for Celebrity Cruises on July 31, 2009.
Kate McCue was captain of the Celebrity Equinox until August 2019, and the first American woman to be captain of a "mega" cruise ship.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 121,878 gross tons, Celebrity Equinox is the 2,176th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 20 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 81st by tonnage — larger than 84% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Malta is the country of registry for 2,640 vessels in this directory, of which Celebrity Equinox is the 85th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,614 ships), and the median vessel measures 23,204 GT. Browse every ship flagged Malta.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 57 cruise ships flying the Malta flag, of which 11 are larger by tonnage.
Celebrity Equinox was built in 2009, making it 17 years old. It is one of 2,834 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 11,673 GT; within it this ship is the 91st largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 160 vessels to Meyer Werft, with a median tonnage of 16,324 GT, delivered between 1902 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 317.2 m overall, Celebrity Equinox is 119.1 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 36.9 m and a draft of 8.3 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9372456 this registry holds 68 other vessels, whose median build year is 2008 and which range from 2005 to 2019. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2009.
Its IMO number, 9372456, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 7×5 + 2×4 + 4×3 + 5×2 = 146 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
