What's onboard
Dining
When it comes to dining, Celestyal Olympia offers both formal and casual dining options, all of which showcase the fresh flavours of the Mediterranean thanks to the dedicated team of chefs onboard. The Aegean Restaurant is the ship’s main dining room and boasts tempting menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all with a Greek influence, while comfort food classics such as burgers and fries are also on offer.
For something a little less formal, The Leda Buffet and Aura Grill are open most of the day for casual dining and provide outdoor seating if you want to make the most of the fresh sea air. Here you can expect a varied breakfast buffet, Greek salads and seafood for lunch, and staple Greek dinner dishes.
Entertainment
Once evening arrives, the ship lights up with evening entertainment that ranges from live music to dance performances and karaoke competitions. There is also a Greek Night during your cruise which celebrates the line's Greek roots and gets everyone involved in an unforgettable night onboard. What's more, for those moments when you want to simply relax with a drink in hand, there are many bars and lounges available for chilling with a cocktail or socialising with friends. In addition, if you find yourself feeling lucky, you can head to the onboard casino and see if you can hit the jackpot on the slot machines and games tables.
Things to do
During your time onboard, Celestyal Olympia has several options for guests who like to stay active. As well as a small gym, those who prefer a more social workout can make the most of the Zumba and dance classes during their cruise. On the other hand, for those who prefer something a little slower in place, there's plenty to choose from. From arts and crafts, language lessons and cooking demonstrations to a spa, there's more than enough opportunity to enjoy a few hours of well-deserved relaxation.

Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Celestyal Olympia
The cruise was good. It was extremely friendly service. Excursions were very well guided.Thank you
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.
