CELESTYAL CRUISES

Celestyal Cruises has made a name for itself as an award-winning, budge package, Greek Islands cruise specialist

In everything we do, everywhere we go, we stir the senses and explore new experiences together. Cruising the Mediterranean, visiting both iconic destinations and some so intimate that no other cruises can go there, we take you to a special place inside yourself to call your own. This is your journey. Your freedom to choose. Your epic Greek adventure.

GREEK CRUISING THE GREEK WAY

We’re the number one choice for travelers to the Greek Islands and Eastern Mediterranean – a fact we love to share!

Our guests tell us it’s because we offer the only genuine Greek cruising experience. Passionate hospitality, intricate local knowledge, and the life-affirming spirit of adventure.

Our awards tell a similar story, with over 60 wins in 7 years. From ‘Platinum Guest Experience’ to ‘Best Itinerary’, we’re proud of them all. And we’re especially humbled by our first prize for ‘Cruise Line with the Greatest Commitment to the East Med Region’.

Celestyal Cruises, headquartered in Piraeus (Athens), Greece, is a boutique cruise line celebrated for immersive and culturally rich voyages across the Eastern Mediterranean, Greek Islands, and Arabian Gulf. Established in 2014 as the successor to Louis Cruises, Celestyal blends the legacy of Mediterranean hospitality with modern cruising comforts.

OUR FLEET

Celestyal operates a compact but thoughtfully curated fleet of two mid‑sized ships, striking the right balance between intimacy and amenities.

• MS Celestyal Discovery joined the fleet in March 2024, following an extensive refit after its previous life as AIDAaura. With capacity for around 1,266 guests and approximately 633 cabins (including balconies), it offers comfortable and elegant surroundings, featuring lounges, spa, theatre and multiple restaurants.

• MS Celestyal Journey, acquired in 2023 and formerly known as Ryndam/Pacific Aria/Aegean Goddess, was built in 1994 and refurbished recently to deliver refreshed amenities and service. It accommodates roughly 1,260 passengers and carries forward a tradition of refined cruising with modern comforts.

What We Offer

Whether you’re seeking a 3‑, 4‑, or 7‑night journey, Celestyal specializes in shorter cruise vacations that pack in numerous destinations while retaining relaxing and enriching experiences.

From its base in Athens, Celestyal sails to iconic Greek destinations such as Santorini, Mykonos, Patmos, Rhodes, Milos, and Heraklion, as well as continental Turkey (including Kusadasi and Ephesus) and parts of the Eastern Mediterranean—including stops in Croatia, Italy (Venice, Bari), Montenegro (Kotor) and even itineraries extending to the Arabian Gulf. Special themed sailings—such as culinary, wellness or mythology-inspired cruises—add unique depth to your journey.

Why Choose Celestyal?

With vessels small enough to access charming ports skipped by bigger liners, Celestyal delivers authentic experiences with fewer crowds and a congenial atmosphere. Onboard, local cuisine, Greek traditions, dance classes, and expert-guided shore excursions connect guests deeply with each locale.

In every route and aboard both the Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey, travelers enjoy genuine hospitality, comfortable mid‑size‑ship cruising, and exposure to one of the richest cultural regions on earth. Set sail with Celestyal Cruises and embark on an unforgettable odyssey through Greece, the Eastern Mediterranean, and beyond.
