Most notably Celestyal Cruises is proud to be recognised by Cruise Critic, the world’s largest cruise review site and a member of the TripAdvisor family for three years running. Celestyal was also voted ‘2016 - Best Value for Money’ cruise line. In 2017 Celestyal Cruises picked up two awards for “Best Value Cruise Line” and “Best Cruise Line for Excursions”. In addition to these two awards Celestyal was also recognised with silver awards for “Best Cruise Line for Service” and “Best Cruise Line for Entertainment”. Cruise Critic remarked that “These are happy ships and you can tell.” In 2018 Celestyal Cruises followed up 2017 achievements with picking up “Best Cruise Line for Service” with Cruise Critic editor making a special mention. “It’s the little things - such as your steward making ever more elaborate towel animals because you’ve mentioned your kids love them, your waiter helping your child carry his plate at the buffet or an excursion team that goes out of the way to tailor an experience for you - that make a cruise line stand out in terms of service. Sailing with Celestyal is like coming home.” Additionally, in 2018 Celestyal Cruises was also recognised for its accommodation of solo traveller holidays by picking up “Best Cruise Line for Solo Traveller” at the Solo Traveller Awards.

7 8 Destination Cruising

For some travellers their cruise is all about the ship. For others the destinations count more than anything. Or indeed the service and the style, the care and the comfort. However at Celestyal we are all about the entire experience from start to finish - and delivering authenticity. And although we say it ourselves, the places we visit are rather special. Whether you want a short cruise across the beautiful Aegean or you have a yearning to travel further afield, you will be in the best possible hands. We can show you the wonderful Greek islands, big and small, immerse you in the myths and legends of the Gods or offer just a glimpse of four of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You can follow in the footsteps of the Ancient Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Ottomans and even St Paul. We will take you to destinations as epic, diverse and exciting as Venice and Istanbul, Cairo and Cyprus, Rhodes and Crete, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Kotor and Mykonos. From Europe, west to Asia and south to the Holy Land and Africa, please join us on an unforgettable and extraordinary journey of discovery.
