Celestyal Cruises: The Greek Cruise Specialist

Based in Piraeus, Greece, Celestyal Cruises is known for its destination-focused, immersive voyages, primarily in the Aegean Sea. Its mission is to provide guests with meaningful, authentic experiences that highlight the culture, history, and hospitality of the regions it sails.

What makes Celestyal different:

Small ships that access hidden harbors and less-visited ports

Extended stays at each destination—often 10+ hours

Shore excursions included in the cruise fare

Fresh Mediterranean cuisine served onboard

A relaxed yet refined atmosphere rooted in Greek tradition

Immersive Itineraries in the Eastern Mediterranean

Greek Island Cruises

Celestyal’s iconic Greek itineraries include both famous islands and off-the-beaten-path gems. Top destinations include:

Santorini, with its whitewashed cliffs and blue domes

Mykonos, famous for its beaches and nightlife

Crete, rich in mythology and ancient ruins

Rhodes, with its medieval old town

Milos, a hidden gem with lunar landscapes

Patmos, spiritual and serene

Other less-traveled islands like Syros, Kos, Chios, and Volos bring a more authentic side of Greece to your journey.

Turkey Cruises

Sail to Kusadasi, Istanbul, or Canakkale and uncover the legacy of Byzantine, Greek, and Ottoman empires. A guided tour of Ephesus, one of the world’s best-preserved ancient cities, is often included.

Egypt, Israel & Cyprus Cruises

Some of Celestyal’s extended itineraries venture to Egypt (Port Said, Alexandria), Israel (Haifa, Ashdod), and Cyprus (Limassol)—offering a deep dive into ancient civilizations, faith, and culture across the Eastern Mediterranean.

A Comfortable Small-Ship Experience

Celestyal’s fleet offers intimate ships with 800–1,200 passengers, delivering a more personal and friendly cruise experience than larger mainstream lines.

Main ships:

Celestyal Journey – beautifully refurbished, featuring modern staterooms, multiple restaurants, spa, pool deck, lounges, and cultural entertainment

Celestyal Discovery – launching in 2025, set to expand the fleet with new itineraries

The onboard atmosphere is warm, local, and culturally enriched, with Greek-inspired hospitality and cuisine at every turn.
