TORONTO — Celestyal has unveiled a new and improved version of its cruise and land package booking tool, now rebranded as Celestyal Sail & Stay, exclusively for the North American market.
Designed to better support travel advisors, the enhanced functionality allows for easier packaging of cruise and land experiences, either at the time of booking or as an add-on later, creating a smoother, more flexible travel planning process.
Available through Celestyal’s trade booking platform, the tool enables advisors to book pre- and post-cruise hotel stays in Athens with Celestyal sailings. The new program offers a curated selection of 18 hotel properties, primarily rated four-star and above, with some three-star options included. Private transfers between the airport, hotel and cruise port are also part of the package.
To further support travel advisors, Celestyal has introduced destination-specific resource guides for six key neighbourhoods in Athens where these hotels are located. The guides provide local insights to help advisors match accommodations to guest preferences. Whether clients prefer staying near Athens’ main attractions in Omonoia Square, easy access to the Metro in Metaxourgio, or a coastal experience in Glyfada Riviera, the guides offer useful context and recommendations.
The Sail & Stay program is now available for all Celestyal sailings departing from Athens as of July 28, 2025. Eligible itineraries include the three- and four-night ‘Iconic Greek Islands,’ the seven-night ‘Idyllic Greece,’ and the seven-night ‘Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia cruises.’ Celestyal also plans to extend the offering to its Arabian Gulf itineraries in the future.
All components of the Sail & Stay packages are commissionable, giving travel advisors an opportunity to earn more while delivering added value and convenience to their clients.
“We’ve launched this new solution specifically with our valued travel advisor community in mind,” said John Diorio, Celestyal’s Managing Director and VP of Business Development for North America. “It’s all about giving their guests more choice, more value and more of what they love while giving our advisors more tools to grow their business with Celestyal with ease and confidence.”
