Greek Islands and Mediterranean specialists Celestyal Cruises has decided to extend the suspension of its sailings until 29 June.
It is hoped cruises will resume on this date with the four-night Iconic Aegean sailing round trip from Athens.
Leslie Peden, the line’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We understand the inconvenience this will cause and apologise to our valued guests. However, as I am sure they will understand, we have taken these necessary steps for the well-being of both our guests and our crew.”
For all named and fully paid individual guests impacted by this temporary suspension, Celestyal Cruises is offering a Future Cruise Credit valued at 120 per cent of original booking value, redeemable up to the end of December 2021 against any itineraries in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
For additional flexibility, guests who have not used the credit within the specified period will automatically receive a refund equal to the original amount paid to Celestyal when it expires, allowing plenty of time to decide on rescheduling plans.
The credit vouchers will be sent directly to guests or their travel professionals.
Celestyal has also extended its Peace of Mind policy for sailings departing up to 31 December, giving guests the chance to change their sail date up to seven days before departure for sailings between 29 June and 31 August.
For departures between 1 September and 31 December, guests will be able to change their plans up to 30 days before sailing date, having until 31 December to reschedule.
