About us: Celestyal Cruises

Born in Athens in 2014, we’ve built a reputation for authentic experiences. Our intimate knowledge of the destinations we visit means when you explore with Celestyal, you’re not traveling like a tourist – you’re treading like a local.

As you venture across the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf in our newly refurbished, boutique fleet of mid-size ships – Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey – you’ll uncover experiences and hidden gems that bring you closer than ever to the local landscapes, culture and people.

Ships

Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey are the stars of our boutique fleet. With no more than around 1,260 passengers on each voyage, these mid size ships are small enough for the crew to get to know you personally. Plus, they enjoy access to more remote locations that larger ships just cannot reach.
