- The ship underwent a multi-million euro renovation, enhancing cabins and social spaces.
- A range of new features includes a coffee shop, pizza oven, and a discovery lounge.
- The itineraries offer both three-night and four-night cruises from Athens, covering iconic Greek islands.
- Bookings made before April 30 offer special early bird rates and low deposit options.
The Celestyal Discovery has set sail on its inaugural voyage through the idyllic waters of the Aegean Sea. This momentous event follows the ship’s significant renovation after its acquisition in November, having previously been part of the Carnival Corporation’s German brand, Aida. The refurbishment has been extensive, representing millions of euros invested to upgrade passenger facilities.
The ship’s 1,266-passenger capacity is now complemented by refreshed cabins and newly designed social spaces, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for passengers. Among the highlights of the Discovery’s new facilities are a coffee shop, a dedicated pizza oven dining area, and a sophisticated discovery lounge. These additions aim to elevate the cruising experience, providing varied options for relaxation and culinary exploration.
Operating primarily from Athens, the Celestyal Discovery is offering both three-night and four-night cruise itineraries. The three-night journeys include stops at vibrant locales such as Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, and Santorini. Meanwhile, the more extended four-night option includes an additional day spent exploring the historic island of Rhodes, allowing passengers to immerse themselves more deeply in the rich cultural tapestry of the region.
Looking ahead, sister ship Celestyal Journey is slated for a similar livery update in early 2025, coupled with its maintenance program in the Arabian Gulf. This initiative underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its fleet and providing premium travel experiences, with a focus on destination immersion both at sea and on land.
In a bid to attract more guests, the company is offering competitive pricing, starting at £209 per person for the Celestyal Discovery cruise-only rates. This pricing includes meals, drinks during dining, and a shore excursion credit, alongside all port fees and service charges. Additionally, reservations made before the end of April benefit from particularly advantageous deposit terms, starting at just £125 per booking.
Celestyal Discovery represents a bold step forward in luxury travel, offering enriched experiences both at sea and ashore.
