Every moment
is a destination
Celestyal was born in 2014, built on 85 years of
experience by one of the leading travel groups in
Cyprus. Home to the city of Athens - the heart of
ancient Greece and gateway to the Mediterranean.
Celestyal has fast built an award winning
reputation and recognition as the number one
choice for cruisers and travellers to the Greek
Islands and Eastern Mediterranean.
What makes us number one? Our regional
expertise. We lead the way in showcasing the
region like no other with an unbeatable mix of
destinations, durations and experiences on and
off the ship that all come together to make one
unique and unforgettable holiday.
Every day we take a little inspiration onboard our
ships. Inspiration is taken direct from the heart of
the destinations we visit, allowing our guests to
continue to experience the sights, sounds, flavours
and tastes even when the ship is sailing away onto
the next destination truly allowing every moment
of your holiday to be a destination.
Onboard our midsize ships, we take care of you
personally. We do not see passengers, we see
guests. Our guests can experience exceptional
hospitality, rooted in our Greek heritage. Whether
you are travelling on our unique 3, 4, 7 and 14 night
cruises with a crew made up from 11 different
nationalities, we are dedicated to our guests every
need in delivering a truly memorable experience.
Not only do our guests enjoy exceptional
hospitality, they also enjoy this in the comfort of
knowing that their cruise is on an all-inclusive
basis which means dining, classic drinks,
gratuities, entertainment and select excursions are
included in the fare.
2021 will herald a special year for Greece with the
Santorini country celebrating 200 years of independence
with events planned throughout the year and
across the country. This will truly be a unique and
memorable time to visit Greece.
On behalf of everyone at Celesyal we look forward
to welcoming you onboard.

Award
Winning
Whether it be onboard or ashore Celestyal is
continuously being recognised for leading the way
with over 60 accolades to its name in the past 5
years.
Most notably Celestyal is proud to be recognised
by Cruise Critic, the world’s largest cruise review
site and a member of the TripAdvisor family for
four years running (2019-2016) as the editors pick
of ‘Best Cruise Line for Service’.
Cruise Critic remarked that “These are happy ships
and you can tell.” “It’s the little things - such as
your steward making ever more elaborate towel
animals because you’ve mentioned your kids love
them, your waiter helping your child carry his plate
at the buffet or an excursion team that goes out of
the way to tailor an experience for you - that make
a cruise line stand out in terms of service. Sailing
with Celestyal is like coming home.”
Celestyal has been recognised the last two
consecutive years at the Solo Traveller Awards
as the ‘Best Cruise Line for Solo Travellers’ due to
our solo friendly fares and warm Greek hospitality
ensuring you’re never solo, unless you chose to be.
Additionally, in 2019 Celestyal was recognised
at the Mare Nostrum Awards in Genoa for our
leadership and honoured for overall contribution
and commitment to the development of the cruise
industry in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Destination
Cruising
For some travellers their cruise is all about the
ship. For others the destinations count more than
anything.
Or indeed the service and the style, the care and
the comfort.
However at Celestyal we are all about the entire
experience from start to finish - and delivering
authenticity.
And although we say it ourselves, the places we
visit are rather special.
Whether you want a mini cruise across the
beautiful Aegean or you have a yearning to travel
further afield, you will be in the best possible hands.
We can show you the wonderful Greek islands,
big and small, immerse you in the myths and
legends of the Gods or offer just a glimpse of four
of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You
can follow in the footsteps of the Ancient Greeks,
Romans, Venetians, Ottomans and even St. Paul.
We will take you to destinations as epic, diverse
and exciting as Thessaloniki and Istanbul, Cairo
and Cyprus, Rhodes and Crete, Volos, Jerusalem,
Limassol and Mykonos.
From Europe, East to Asia and south to the Holy
Land and Africa, please join us on an unforgettable
and extraordinary journey of discovery.
