Celestyal: a Greek line, not a world catalogue

Here is the whole fleet: Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey make up the whole fleet. It is one of the most repetitive fleets in our catalogue: the same islands come back season after season. The number of departures currently on sale is shown at the top of this page.

What that means for you

A scheduled service rather than a catalogue. The same islands, the same ports, season after season. What you choose is a date and a duration, not a rare itinerary — and that is exactly the point of Celestyal: you can add three nights at sea to a stay in Athens without building a whole voyage around it. The line sells three, four and seven-night cruises, and short formats are rare in this trade.

The ground, and its limit

The Greek islands, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, out of Athens. That is all, and it is deliberate. If you want the Caribbean or Alaska, this is not the line. If you want the same islands on a larger ship, with shows and a choice of restaurants, MSC and Costa also programme the Eastern Mediterranean — two products very different from this one.

Where Celestyal comes from

Born in 2014 in the wake of Louis Cruises, itself from Louis plc, founded in 1935 as the first travel agency in Cyprus. Head office in Piraeus, Athens. It is a Greek and Cypriot line selling Greece, not a global operator passing through. It bought the former Costa neoRomantica in 2020, renamed her Celestyal Experience, then gave up on growing the fleet and sold her again in 2021: this line chose to stay small.

What we will not say

What the fare covers. The formula changes from one departure and market to the next, and we have not measured it departure by departure. Ask your advisor for the written list of the exact departure before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Two ships, Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey, doing the same thing: the Greek islands and the eastern Mediterranean out of Athens. The number of departures currently on sale is shown at the top of this page.
Yes, and deliberately. The same islands and the same ports come back season after season: what you are choosing here is a date and a length, not a rare itinerary. It is a good way to see the Cyclades without giving them two weeks, and a poor choice if you are after novelty.
The Greek islands, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, out of Athens. That is all, and it is deliberate. If you want the Caribbean or Alaska, this is not the line for you — look elsewhere in our catalogue.
The line sells three, four and seven-night cruises. Short formats are rare in this trade, and that is exactly what makes this fleet useful: you can add three nights at sea to a stay in Athens without building a whole voyage around it.

Yes. It bought the former Costa neoRomantica in 2020, renamed her Celestyal Experience, then gave up on growing the fleet and sold her again in 2021. This is a line that chose to stay small.
For this ground, yes. The choice is not made on the hull but on the date, the duration and the port of embarkation. Both ships serve the same islands; your calendar decides, not the boat's name.
We will not say it in the line's place. What the fare covers changes here from one departure, market and cabin grade to the next, and we have not measured it departure by departure. Ask your advisor for the written list of the exact departure before booking, not after.
Yes. This page shows the departures we carry online, and our inventory does not always cover the line's full calendar. Call us with the date you want: in most cases we can book it for you.
It depends on the departure and the market, not on the line. If French matters to you, say so before booking: it is checked departure by departure.
On fleets this small, yes: few cabins, and the best go early. Booking far ahead fixes a choice but commits money in advance. Talk cancellation terms through with your advisor before you decide.
Your agency, and it alone. Voyages AquaTerra operates under a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur, your payments pass through a trust account, and the compensation fund for travel agency clients covers your departure. That holds whichever line you choose.
