Solo travelling offers a whole range of freedoms
and for many of those exploring on their own or
part of a group. It is all about being made to feel
welcome and cared for, building relationships, and
making friends and special memories. At Celestyal
we are deeply committed to solo travellers and
ensuring you have a wonderful cruise experience.
Whether you’re taking some me time on a cruise,
or enjoy your personal space with your very own
stateroom when travelling with others, Celestyal
gives you plenty of options to plan your solo cruise
holiday. That is why we have been commended by
the Solo Traveller two years in a row.
SINGLE OCCUPANCY DISCOUNT
We offer a reduced single supplement on our
interior and exterior staterooms across all our

cruise fare, meaning you only pay full fare for
yourself plus up to 30% for the extra personal
space. Those wishing to book a suite can benefit
from a single supplement of no more than 70% of
the cruise fare.

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.
