Dining
As a Greek cruise line, you can expect Mediterranean cuisine in its tastiest and purest form. All dishes are freshly prepared onboard with seasonal and local ingredients. Each of the chefs have spent numerous years in Greek kitchens, allowing Celestyal to provide a gorgeous selection of Greek gastronomy.
When you dine with Celestyal you can participate in true Greek tradition, where you sit down for a feast with friends, finding community with others and most importantly creating unforgettable culinary moments. What's more, with three delicious meals included in your cruise fare, you won't even have to worry about picking up the bill at the end of dinner.
Destinations
Different from other mainstream cruise lines, Celestyal Cruises offer shorter itineraries as well as 7-day cruises, perfect for travellers wanting to see the best of the Mediterranean in just a few days. Cruising through Greece and the wider East Mediterranean (as seen on TV series Cruising With Jane McDonald), guests will get a whistle stop tour of this beautiful part of the world, with shorter times at sea, meaning that they even get the chance to visit 2 ports in 1 day. Celestyal Cruises offers a wide selection of luxury cruises to choose from, giving you the opportunity to choose the right one for you.

Customer reviews for Celestyal Cruises
Lovely staff, great food, good cleaners. Just felt the ship interior was looking very tired and in need of an upgrade
A fost prima mea croaziera. A fost minunat! Totul a fost la un inalt nivel de profesionalism. Si totusi este ceva care am admirat: modul in care a fost organizat totul pe nava : excursiile, spectacolele de pe puntea 5 ! Acei tineri sunt minunati !!! Pentru ei, pentru performantele lor as reveni oricand!!! A fost o placere si bucurie sa-i privesc . Mihaela
The staff were first class and cannot praise them enough for their wonderful service. We upgraded to a balcony and all inclusive which resulted in private dining with full waiter service separate from the buffet style dining. I thought the drinks package would only include local wine and spirits but was wrong as all spirits were a recognised brand and included a wide variety of cocktails. Ship was spotless and cabin cleaned every day with a complementary delivery of hand made chocolates and beautifully decorated petit fours daily. Excursions were very organised and well communicated. Would recommend this cruise.
I must say, I was extremely disappointed, when at 3 of the islands, Mykonos, Patmos and Santorini, we did not arrive until a few minutes before darkness. My partner and I were on Patmos for no more than 50 minutes. I cannot see the point of being taken to see these beautiful islands at a time when you cannot see them or take photos of them. Santorini was a little better, but within 20 minutes of landing, it too was in complete darkness. I was not the only person to complain about this. Other people on board were unhappy about it. We felt that there were too many islands crammed into 4 days. I await your response.
