Celestyal Cruises has released its 2025 programme and confirmed its 2026 collection will be “launched imminently”.
On sale now, the cruise line will offer five itineraries in 2025 with 113 departures available, covering destinations in Greece, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Croatia and Montenegro.
Sailings range from three to 14 nights in length and depart between April and October 2025 on the line’s two ships, Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey, which are both undergoing refurbishment in Athens.

In response to demand, the programme includes two versions of the seven-night Heavenly Adriatic sailing which will debut this year and has proved “so popular” with customers, it has prompted the line to make it a permanent deployment feature for 2025, Celestyal said.
In March, April and October 2025 the itinerary will sail to Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy, with maiden calls at Kefalonia, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Bari and Katakolo. The July and August 2025 sailings also feature a maiden call to Venice. Prices start at £499.
Additionally, the line has renamed its onboard packing offerings with immediate effect. Passengers can choose between the Celestyal Experience, which was previously known as the all-inclusive fare and includes all onboard dining, select drinks with meals, gratuities, a £65 shore excursion discount and port charges, and the Celestyal Plus Experience, which also includes a 25% discount in either of the two speciality restaurants, premium drinks with meals, £130 shore excursion discount and Wi-Fi.
As part of its winter promotion, Celesytal is offering 50% off all Celestyal Plus Experience packages along with reduced single supplements and low child fares.
Chief commercial officer Lee Haslett said: “We are constantly listening to both our agent partners and our customers. We regularly challenge ourselves on how we can do more to delight our guests and be the best supplier to do business with.
“Our Heavenly Adriatic itinerary has been a real hit, in fact we are almost sold out for the first cruise of the season, so it will now feature more heavily in our 2025 itineraries.
“We know our customers want to book further in advance, love visiting the Greek islands and want to discover a wider choice of destinations, so we’re pleased to kick off 2024 with a completely refreshed fleet, the launch of our 2025 programme and imminent release of our 2026 programme.
“Our fleet of new ships takes guests right into the heart of a destination, offering an outstanding range of tours and local experiences, and with our new simplified packages available to enhance guests’ time onboard and add to agent commission, plus several exciting new itineraries yet to be announced, there’s never been a better time to book Celestyal.”
