Celestyal Cruises is a boutique cruise line focused on the Eastern Mediterranean, carefully creating intimate, immersive trips with Greek hospitality being a primary element. Operating mid-sized ships such as the Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey, this cruise line presents an individualistic alternative to buy-in cruise operators.
The Celestyal Crystal is a 1,200-passenger ship that was a long-time member of the fleet, best known for being destination-focused, as opposed to onboard indulgence. It was pretty much on the small side according to modern standards but included dining venues, a spa, a fitness center, and bars-that is the big-ship experience on a smaller scale, built in 1980, had quite a cheered past with famous passengers like Sweden royal couple and George H.W. Bush, then president of the USA.
Celestyal Crystal retired this September 2023, paving the way for the arrival of Celestyal Journey, a bigger, upgraded vessel boasting balcony cabins that Crystal didn't have.
Highlights: Authentic Greek Hospitality, Extended Port Stays, Visits to Lesser-Known Islands, Nearly All-Inclusive Fares, Interactive Cultural Workshops, Smaller And Mid-Sized Ships, Newer Ship Celestyal Journey, Budget-Friendly Pricing, Rich Historical Connections, And Strong Emphasis On Destination.
