Celestyal has created a tool allowing the trade to book cruise and land packages for their clients.
The new function, on the cruise line’s trade booking system, gives agents the ability to select hotel stays with transfers for before and after a sailing.
Janet Parton, vice-president of business development at Celestyal, said: “By allowing agents to seamlessly book cruise and land packages, including high-quality hotel stays and private transfers, we’re enhancing the overall value and convenience of the Celestyal experience.”

Celestyal aims to become ‘go-to cruise specialists’ for Arabian Gulf
The hotels offered are four-star and above, with private transfers available to and from the airport, hotel and port.
The service is currently offered on a number of sailings departing from Athens, among them the three and four-night Iconic Aegean, the seven-night Idyllic Aegean, the seven-night Steps of Paul and the seven-night Heavenly Adriatic itineraries.
Plans are in place to expand the offering to the Arabian Gulf in due course.
Parton added: “We’re thrilled to introduce this new tool allowing our trade partners to offer even more comprehensive and personalised experiences for their clients.”
Meanwhile, Celestyal has teamed up with Qatar Airways to offer tickets to see Billie Eilish at the O2 Arena in London next summer.
Four tickets for the concert on July 16, 2025, are on offer and will be picked at random from agents booking ‘desert days’ itineraries from Doha that include flights with the airline.
Early booking discounts of up to 50% apply on the cruises which are on sale for travel up to 2027.
