While I have always enjoyed cruising and I travel to Greece

yearly it wasn’t till I spent my time on Celestyal Cruises

that I realised how convenient it was to see so many

islands with such ease and comfort. On Celestyal Cruises

the entertainment, food and ambiance is authentically

Greek, unlike many international cruises where you could

be anywhere! It isn’t just the amazing destinations that the

ships set sail to and the convenience of the cruises departing

from Athens, but the attention to detail of the friendly and

welcoming staff on-board. Best of all once you’re on board

there is no unpacking and repacking or dragging around

a heavy suitcase on Greek ferries. Celestyal smaller boats

offer all the advantages of the larger cruise liners but are

also able to access unique ports normally not visited by the

large vessels. Start dreaming of soaking up the sun with

outstanding views from the deck of these amazing vessels.

Halina Kubica, Managing Director
