Celestyal extends suspension of operations, here’s how it’s accommodating guests

20% commission, new itineraries and back to Istanbul with Celestyal

MIAMI — For a limited time Celestyal Cruises is offering 20% commission on seven-day all-inclusive cruise bookings, to help kick off the launch of its newest itineraries.

The company says it is “pleased to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to its North American travel agent partners” with commission paid across the majority of its cruise package components, including the cruise fare (including a standard unrestricted drinks package and select shore excursions) as well as additional pre-sold shore excursions, and pre-sold premium drinks upgrade package.

The 20% commission deal is applicable on new bookings made between now and June 30 for any seven-day all-inclusive cruise departing in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

As part of its goal to offer year-round cruising in the Aegean, Celestyal Cruises recently introduced three new seven-day all-inclusive itineraries: the new ‘Idyllic’ with sailings now underway; and starting in 2019 the new ‘Eclectic’ and ‘Three Continents’ itineraries.

The ‘Idyllic’ sailing departs from Athens (Piraeus) and includes overnight stays in Mykonos and Santorini. Along the way passengers will discover the off-the-beaten path island of Milos, beautiful Crete and Turkey’s Kusadasi.

Meanwhile the ‘Eclectic’ itinerary re-introduces Istanbul to Celestyal’s cruise programs, with weekly sailings Oct. 21 – Nov. 25, 2019. Cruises go roundtrip from Athens with an overnight in Istanbul, plus time in Greece’s Volos and Turkey’s Canakkale. Passengers on this itinerary will additionally have the opportunity to visit Crete and Santorini, and experience Mykonos with an overnight stay.

Finally Celestyal’s new ‘Three Continents’ sailings will start in December 2019 with five sailings Dec. 2 – 30 that will also mark the introduction of Christmas and New Year’s cruises in the Aegean for Celestyal Cruises. Roundtrip from Athens, passengers will explore cities and villages in Greece, Egypt (Alexandria and Port Said), Israel, Cyprus (Limassol), the Greek Islands (Rhodes), and Turkey (Kusadasi).
