About Celestyal

“All of Celestyal cruises feature all-inclusive drink packages, all meals onboard, entertainment and comfortable cabins to stay in while you're onboard as well as selected shore excursions” — Celestyal

Celestyal is the cruise line that Greece calls its own. Founded in 2014 in Athens and grown from the heritage of Louis plc, Cyprus's first travel agency, the company has made the Aegean its home waters and describes itself as the number one choice for travelers to the Greek islands and Mediterranean. Its approach favors intimate, local experiences over mass tourism — a philosophy captured in its invitation to Discover, Explore, Experience.

The fleet is refreshingly simple: two mid-size boutique ships, Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery, each carrying around 1,260 guests. Itineraries of three, four, and seven nights weave through Greece and its islands, Turkey, Montenegro, Croatia, and Italy, and new winter seasons aboard Celestyal Discovery are extending the line into the Western Mediterranean for 2026 and 2027. In 2023 the line was named Passenger Line of the Year at the Lloyd's List Greek Shipping Awards.

Fares follow a single, straightforward structure called Celestyal One — daily meals, snacks from the Greek Deli and Pizza Oven, unlimited soft drinks with meals, essential Wi-Fi, entertainment, port fees, and gratuities are all included, with CelestyalPay available as a prepaid tab for cocktails and specialty dining. It suits travelers who want the islands themselves to be the star, delivered with warm Greek hospitality at an honest price.

New & notable: Celestyal has announced new winter 2026 and 2027 cruises aboard Celestyal Discovery focused on Western Mediterranean itineraries, extending its season beyond the Aegean summer.
