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.

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

And although we say it ourselves, the places we

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.
