When you cruise with Celestyal, you’re not traveling like a tourist – you’re discovering each destination like a local.
Sailing year-round across the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf, Celestyal’s fleet of mid-sized ships – Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey – offers a more personal way to cruise. With fewer guests onboard, you’ll enjoy a warm welcome, attentive service and a relaxed Premium Casual atmosphere: elevated experiences without the pretension.
Celestyal’s itineraries are designed to bring you closer to the places you visit. Expect iconic bucket-list moments – from Santorini sunsets to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai – balanced with hidden gems larger ships simply can’t reach. With more time in port, late stays and fewer sea days, you’ll have longer to explore ancient ruins, wander vibrant markets, discover fishing villages and connect with local culture.
Onboard, you’ll find modern, comfortable staterooms, vibrant dining venues, lively entertainment and welcoming social spaces that feel more like a home at sea than a floating city. It’s cruising made personal – immersive journeys with inclusive value, thoughtful service and meaningful experiences at their heart.
From three- and four-night Aegean and Arabian Gulf escapes to immersive seven-night journeys – and the option to combine some sailings for 14 nights – Celestyal voyages turn travel moments into lasting memories.
- What regions does Celestyal sail to?
Celestyal sails year-round across the Mediterranean and the Arabian Gulf. Popular destinations include the Greek Islands, Turkey and the Adriatic, as well as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and other highlights of the Gulf region.
- What makes Celestyal Cruises different?
Celestyal offers a more personal, immersive style of cruising. Its smaller ships carry fewer guests, creating a relaxed onboard atmosphere and quicker access in port.
Itineraries are port-rich, with fewer sea days, longer stays and late departures – giving you more time to explore both iconic landmarks and lesser-known hidden gems. Combined with a warm, welcoming crew and Premium Casual approach, it’s a cruise experience that feels curated rather than crowded.
- What does ‘Premium Casual’ mean?
Premium Casual is Celestyal’s way of elevating the everyday. You’ll enjoy quality dining, modern ships and attentive service – without formal dress codes, large crowds or constant add-ons. It’s relaxed, comfortable cruising with thoughtful inclusions and genuine hospitality.
- What’s included in my fare?
Celestyal offers excellent inclusions, making it easy to see the value from the start. Your cruise fare includes:
- Stylish cabin accommodation
- Full board dining plus extra snacks
- Unlimited filter coffee, tea, water and juice stations during the day
- Unlimited free-pour sodas in selected restaurants
- Complimentary Essential WiFi
- Entertainment and daily onboard activities

- What types of cabins are available?
Both Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery offer a range of interior, ocean view and suite options – all designed for comfort, relaxation and a restful night’s sleep after a day exploring ashore.
- How much time do I get in the port?
Celestyal itineraries are designed to maximise your time ashore. Many sailings feature longer port stays and late-night departures, so you can experience destinations after the day-trippers have left — whether that’s dinner in a local taverna in Greece or an evening stroll along Dubai Marina.
