Celestyal Cruises takes travellers on a journey to the next level with launch of new ship and itineraries
As the popularity of cruising continues to rise, one cruise liner is using that momentum to take its customer’s experience to the next level.
Celestyal Cruises has announced the arrival of its newest ship, Celestyal Journey.
As the name suggests, this ship is all about exploration, discovery and progress.
Ambition and adventure have also been at the centre of this ship’s development, and those themes will continue as Celestyal Journey goes into service. Taking guests further and getting them closer to the iconic destinations it visits.
While the ship is abundant in premium staterooms, you wouldn’t know it given the spaciousness of all of its rooms and suites.
This 1,260-guest mid-sized vessel offers 630 staterooms, 149 of which feature balconies – three times that of the previously available balcony staterooms on Celestyal’s seven-night cruises.
The rooms may be spacious, but the stomachs of its guests won’t be, with seven one-of-a-kind dining venues including specialty and themed restaurants appealing to a wide array of tastes and cuisines from the Mediterranean to European and Asian dishes.
Every night will be special on the Celestyal Journey, but for any occasion that is just that little bit more important, there’s a cooking demonstration area and an exclusive Chef’s Table venue.
Eight bars and lounges round out the food and beverage offerings, each with its own distinctive character, providing the ideal setting to indulge in Celestyal’s signature cocktails.
The roomy feel continues outside the ship, with large open deck areas creating an overall sense of spaciousness and light.
Expansive sundecks with two pools and two jacuzzis offer spectacular views and a feeling of being connected with the ocean around you. While a secluded and tranquil outdoor space, the Beach Club, will be created for exclusive use by all Grand Suite and Junior Suite guests.
Guests booked in Grand Suites will also have access to Celestyal’s Concierge Service, which features a dedicated priority check-in counter, expedited embarkation and express luggage delivery service including assistance with unpacking.
A dedicated Celestyal Cruises’ Concierge will be available in the exclusive-use Poseidon Lounge to assist Grand Suite guests with tailored service requests.
Relaxation is certainly taken to the next level with a comprehensive spa, fitness and wellness area all with stunning ocean views.
But if work is essential, there are also two fully-equipped conference rooms and a multi-purpose amphitheatre complete with a cinema, making the Celestyal Journey perfect for meetings and incentives.
Along with a new ship, Celestyal also has a series of Legendary itineraries.
The Legendary Aegean and Legendary Ionian – 4 and 5-night cruises which feature exciting new destinations enabling guests to explore more of the Aegean Sea.
Guests will have the chance to visit some of the most beautiful, historic and picturesque ports of call in Greece, Turkey, and the Greek Islands.
Authentic Greek hospitality is in Celestyal’s DNA and guests experience the culture first-hand with a variety of onboard entertainment and activities.
The modern ship’s appearance will be juxtaposed by the ancient ruins the region is known for.
And, of course there is the delicious cuisine, making the trip as tasty as it is beautiful.
There’s so much to learn about the new ship and its planned itineraries, that Celestyal operates a dedicated trade portal especially for travel agents.
A one-stop shop for all things Celestyal.
At celestyalstars.com you will find their training scheme, current offers, information on how to upsell and earn more commission along with regularly updated competitions and incentives.
All Celestyal brochures, flyers, images and video are found in the Agent’s Toolbox section of the site including itinerary maps and social branded images for agents who want to be the first to talk about the new Celestyal Journey.
Of course, there’s no better way to learn about something than experiencing it for yourself, so Celestyal offers special agent rates for all of its cruises as well.
