Boutique cruise line Celestyal has launched a summer promotion, available on new bookings made until August 31. The campaign features savings of up to 50% across the line’s 2024, 2025 and recently announced 2026 and early 2027 itineraries.

Operating two brand-new vessels accommodating up to 1260 passengers each, Celestyal was formerly a seasonal line sailing primarily to the Greek islands. It will now sail broader itineraries in the Adriatic as well as "winter sun" sailings in the Arabian Sea November-March. Celestyal’s first Arabian season begins this November. 

For its new Arabian Gulf voyages the line is offering early booking savings of up to 50% across all 2024 to 2027 sailings, with additional discounts of over 70% on select cabins. The offer also includes further reductions of 30% on third and fourth guests sharing a cabin.

Itineraries range from three to 14 nights and call at destinations including Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Bahrain, as well as smaller ports such as Sir Bani Yas Island, Fujairah, Muscat and Khasab. 

·      Prices for the newly introduced three-night “Iconic Arabia” cruise, departing from Abu Dhabi in 2025 on Celestyal Discovery, now start at $319pp (down from $640pp)

·      Prices for a seven night “Desert Days” cruise, departing from Doha starting in 2024 on Celestyal Journey, now start at $609pp (down from $1280pp)

Celestyal is also offering early booking savings on over 200 departures across 2025 and 2026 on their “Iconic Aegean,” “Idyllic Aegean,” and new-to-2024 “Heavenly Adriatic” voyages. Ranging from three to 14 nights, savings of up to 50% are available, with additional discounts of over 60% on limited cabins. Similarly, the offer includes further reductions of 30% on third and fourth guests sharing a cabin.

·      Prices for a three-night “Iconic Aegean” itinerary, departing from Athens on Celestyal Discovery in 2025 and calling at Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, Heraklion and Santorini, now start at $359pp (down from $900pp)

·      Prices for the new seven-night “Heavenly Adriatic” cruises - which debuted in March this year - departing from Athens on Celestyal Journey in 2025 with a late stay in Dubrovnik and full day calls at Kefalonia, Kotor, Bari/ Venice (Marghera), Corfu and Katakolo, now start at $919pp (down from $1840pp)

·      Prices for the seven-night “Idyllic Aegean,” departing from Athens on Celestyal Journey in 2025 with full days in Kusadasi (Ephesus), Rhodes, Crete, Santorini and Milos plus a full day and late stay in Mykonos, now start at $919pp (down from $1840pp)

Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “Our new summer savings bonanza delivers unmissable cruise experiences across our expanded sailing program at truly unbeatable value. 

“By launching our new itineraries through March 2027, it has enabled us to offer early booking savings on our eye-catching new Arabian Gulf and Adriatic voyages and our much-loved Mediterranean cruises. There’s never been a better reason to either return to Celestyal or to try us out for the first time.”
