Celestyal Journey

Providing authentic, lifetime experiences both onboard and onshore

Celeystial Cruises has fast built an award-winning reputation for travelling to the Greek Islands and East Mediterranean thanks to its regional expertise and exceptional hospitality.

And it aims to spread its wings even further with a series of cruises in the Adriatic.

The company, formerly Louis Cruises, operates two recently acquired mid-sized vessels, Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey, pictured above, each one cosy enough to provide genuine and highly-personalised services.

The foundation of the company’s philosophy is built on a unique Greek heritage which combines outstanding hospitality with genuine cultural destination immersion and provides authentic, lifetime experiences both onboard and onshore.

In June 2019, Celestyal Cruises was recognised for its overall contribution to the development of the cruise industry in the East Med region at the Mare Nostrum Awards in Genoa. And in December 2018 it won the UK Editors’ Picks Award for Best Service by Cruise Critic.

Celestyal Cruises is deeply committed to sustainability and ethical business practices. The company actively supports the local communities in the destinations it visits, particularly in the field of education.

Since 2015, more than 2,000 students on the Greek islands of Milos, Patmos, Samos and Ios have enjoyed a “journey to knowledge”, by attending specialised educational programs, initiated by Celestyal Cruises.
