Celestyal Cruises, between Greek heritage and maritime discovery
Celestyal Cruises offers an intimate and authentic way to explore the Mediterranean and the Greek Islands. From the moment of embarkation, the company charms with its human-sized ships, cultural stopovers, and warm atmosphere. Offering 3-, 4-, or 7-night cruises departing from Athens and other ports, Celestyal Cruises allows travelers to discover islands, coastlines, and historic sites in a simple, elegant, and deeply Mediterranean setting, wonderfully enriched.
Maritime simplicity and Mediterranean flavors
A port-like ambiance and human-sized atmosphere
Celestyal Cruises favors mid-sized ships, offering personalized service and a closer connection with the crew. Based in Athens, the company specializes in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Greek Islands, Turkey, and Egypt. This structure encourages frequent stopovers and maximizes time spent discovering destinations ashore, rather than long days at sea, enhancing exploration beautifully.
Local gastronomy and exceptional itineraries
On board, Celestyal Cruises highlights Greek and Mediterranean culinary culture: flavorful dishes inspired by local traditions, served in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The itineraries cover mythical islands such as Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes, along with stopovers in Turkey and Egypt, offering a wide diversity of landscapes and emotions experienced more vividly and deeply throughout.
Iconic destinations with Celestyal Cruises
Greek islands and Aegean escapes
Celestyal Cruises takes you to the heart of the most iconic Greek islands: sunset in Santorini, whitewashed alleys in Mykonos, and the serene monastery of Patmos. The rhythm remains fluid and pleasant: you disembark, you explore, you savor, you continue. The short distance between stopovers allows every moment to be lived intensely, offering a natural immersion in the vibrant Aegean lifestyle.
Turkish shores and Mediterranean panoramas
The itineraries also include the Turkish coastline, with ports such as Kusadasi, as well as other Mediterranean landscapes where history can be read in every stone. The alternation between ancient architecture, lively markets, and seaside settings creates a journey rich in contrasts, blending relaxation, exploration, and meaningful cultural discoveries.
Off-the-beaten-path cruises and Arabian escapes
More recently, Celestyal Cruises has expanded its horizon toward the Arabian Gulf, offering “Desert Days” itineraries departing from Doha or Abu Dhabi. These routes reveal discreet luxury, spectacular desert landscapes, and unique maritime scenes. They add a more exotic and surprising touch to the traditional Mediterranean voyage, creating wonderfully memorable contrasts.

Signature journey between islands and legends with Celestyal Cruises
A simple and luminous life at sea
Warm atmosphere open to the sea
On board Celestyal Cruises, the atmosphere is bright, relaxed, and designed to savor every moment peacefully. Cafés opening onto the horizon, outdoor decks rocked by the sea, and panoramic lounges create a pleasant setting where one can read, chat, or simply contemplate the landscape. Each day invites travelers to slow down and enjoy the journey in a gentle and authentic ambiance crafted beautifully.
Comfortable accommodation adapted to the voyage
The cabins and suites prioritize comfort and tranquility: functional spaces, bright décor, and direct views of the sea. The medium-sized ships ensure a limited number of passengers, reinforcing the feeling of intimacy and calm throughout. Altogether, this creates a restful environment, ideal for unwinding between two enriching stopovers and enjoying peaceful maritime moments.
Gentle activities and well-paced stopovers
The Celestyal Cruises experience alternates moments on board with frequent stopovers, allowing each destination to be discovered at an enjoyable rhythm. Light entertainment, cultural workshops, spa relaxation, and free time on deck complete the days. The offering remains simple, fluid, and accessible while reflecting the authentic spirit of Celestyal Cruises consistently.
Traveler profiles with Celestyal Cruises
Travelers curious about culture and history
Celestyal Cruises is perfectly suited for lovers of civilization, Greek mythology, ancient sites, and sweeping marine panoramas. The multiple stopovers allow guests to move seamlessly from architecture to archaeology, local traditions, and seaside discoveries. The balanced rhythm of these journeys offers a natural immersion into the beautiful Mediterranean heritage.
Couples seeking simple yet meaningful moments

Sunset strolls in the ports, dinners facing the sea, and peaceful island days turn each step into a gentle interlude, ideal for closeness, shared emotion, and intimate connection.
Families searching for a balanced pace
Without offering the atmosphere of large water parks, Celestyal Cruises welcomes families in a soft, secure, and friendly environment. Children enjoy the sea breeze, frequent stopovers, and simple activities, while parents appreciate the ocean, relaxation, and exploration. Together, this creates a harmonious journey for everyone, fostering happy memories.
Solo travelers and small groups seeking conviviality
The size of the ships and the spirit of the company are especially suited for those traveling alone or in small groups. The atmosphere naturally encourages encounters, conversations, and simplicity, without the sense of anonymity often found on very large megaships. This intimate feeling makes every moment pleasantly welcoming.
Exceptional moments and signature experiences
Celestyal Cruises offers adventures that truly stand out: a dinner on board facing the lights of a Greek port at the blue hour, an excursion to the Temple of Apollo in Lesbos, a serene sailing toward Patmos where history unfolds, or even a “Desert Days” stay in the Arabian Gulf with dunes, starry skies, and a luxurious yet discreet ambiance. These moments make the journey deeply memorable and wonderfully inspiring.
Environmental commitment and traveler awareness
Responsible initiatives and a well-managed fleet
Celestyal Cruises works to reduce its impact through moderately sized ships that naturally limit the influx of passengers in sensitive ports. The company favors respectful stopovers, optimizes its operations, and seeks to preserve coastal environments. This approach reflects a more responsible vision of maritime tourism, attentive to places and local communities while promoting thoughtful stewardship.
Awareness of local cultures
The company encourages its guests to immerse themselves respectfully in each destination: promotion of local products, small-group excursions, and free time to explore beyond the usual tourist areas. This pursuit of authenticity goes hand in hand with a genuine awareness of visited communities and the environment, allowing each traveler to experience the journey in a more sustainable and harmonious way.
