Celestyal launches 2025 programme

Celestyal Cruises has launched its 2025 programme, which consists of 113 departures across Greece, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Croatia and Montenegro.

The departures range from between three and 14 nights, departing from April through to October 2025. All sailings are on either the 1,266-guest Celestyal Discovery or the 1,260-guest Celestyal Journey.

Sailings include two variations of the Heavenly Adriatic itinerary, which is due to debut in 2024.

Celestyal’s current winter promotion offers huge savings with prices for a three-night cruise to Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, Heraklion, and Santorini starting from £209pp, while a seven-night cruise to Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, Rhodes, Heraklion, and Santorini leads in from £319pp.

Elsewhere, Celestyal has renamed their onboard package offerings with immediate effect. Guests can now choose from two simple options:

• The Celestyal Experience – previously known as the Inclusive cruise fare. The package includes all onboard dining, select drinks with meals – including tea, filtered coffee, house wines, draft beer, and juices – all onboard entertainment, a £65 shore excursion discount, all gratuities and port charges.
• The Celestyal Plus+ Experience – previously known as the Enhanced cruise fare. The package includes all onboard meals, with a 25% discount in either of the two speciality restaurants onboard, premium drinks with meals, all onboard entertainment, a £130 shore excursion discount, onboard WIFI, all gratuities and port charges.

As part of the winter promotion, Celestyal is offering 50% off all Celestyal Plus+ Experience packages, along with reduced single supplements of just 30% and low child fares, with up to 70% off the third or fourth guest in a cabin.

Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal, said: “We are constantly listening to both our agent partners and our customers. We regularly challenge ourselves on how we can do more to delight our guests and be the best supplier to do business with. Our Heavenly Adriatic itinerary has been a real hit, in fact we are almost sold out for the first cruise of the season, so it will now feature more heavily in our 2025 itineraries.

“We know our customers want to book further in advance, and love visiting the Greek islands as well as wanting to discover a wider choice of destinations, so we’re pleased to kick off 2024 with a completely refreshed fleet, the launch of our 2025 programme and imminent release of our 2026 programme.

“Our fleet of new ships take guests right into the heart of a destination, offering an outstanding range of tours and local experiences. And with our new simplified packages available to enhance guests’ time onboard and add to agent commission, plus several exciting new itineraries yet to be announced, there’s never been a better time to book with Celestyal.”
